ConnectSci: a new destination for trusted science
As Australia’s leading science publisher of science news, peer-reviewed journals, and books, our purpose is to enhance the impact of science by communicating the outcomes of research, empowering decision makers, and enriching the lives of all our readers.
In an increasingly global, online and Open Science-focused scholarly publishing landscape, it was time to revamp our digital experience.
Introducing ConnectSci, the first comprehensive Australian source for science content.
Still powered by the same editorially independent team at CSIRO Publishing, connectsci.au prioritises accessibility, discoverability and functionality.
The website hosts a rich archive of peer-reviewed scholarly articles, over 700 eBooks and science news articles. New tools and technology allow us to better curate content for libraries and service our authors and readers with enhanced navigation, view options, and notification preferences.
ConnectSci News
Science fans will love our newly integrated science news service.
ConnectSci News publishes stories focused on the latest scientific research and discoveries from Australia and across the globe. Its journalists are editorially independent science communicators and proudly publish fact-based content, continuing a proud tradition of inspiring curiosity and making science accessible, started by Cosmos Magazine over 20 years ago.

Enhancing our journals offering
ConnectSci is now home to our 30 peer-reviewed journals, including many society-owned and fully open access publications.
Our journal readers and authors will appreciate new features, such as:
- better search filtering across article types and subjects
- journal article split screen view: a dual-panel view displaying figures and additional data alongside the article or chapter
- nuanced email notification options, including weekly new content and saved search alerts.
Split view allows readers to view other content, such as figures, along side an article.
eBooks and packages from CSIRO Publishing
You can still purchase eBooks from your retailer of choice, but now our titles are also available from ConnectSci.
Our eBooks offering includes collection pages offering libraries the option to curate diverse content across products and subjects.
Print books will continue to be sold from publishing.csiro.au/books
In short: ConnectSci brings a new look and features for an exceptional user experience, with the same trusted standards and publication ethics. The transition to this new website represents an exciting new chapter, positioning us to keep pace with increasing demands of authors, institutions and readers.
