This bibliography includes material relating to the history of science and technology in Australia and its near neighbours, including New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and islands of the Pacific Ocean, and Antarctica. Most was published in the twelve months to September 2020. The range of subjects covered includes the natural sciences (physical sciences, biological sciences, earth sciences and mathematics), some applied sciences (including medical sciences, agriculture, engineering and technology), and human sciences. Biographical items on practitioners of these sciences are also included. In compiling this bibliography an extensive range of journals was scanned for relevant articles, books and reviews on the subjects covered. Library resources have been invaluable in finding relevant material. These principally include the Library at the University of Melbourne, the State Library of Victoria, the National Library of Australia and the National Library of New Zealand Te Papa Matauranga O Aotearoa. For many years these bibliographies have been produced under the auspices of the eScholarship Research Centre at the University of Melbourne. Staff of the centre have provided ongoing support and assistance for which the compiler is most grateful. They include Ailie Smith, Helen Morgan and Gavan McCarthy. Unfortunately, the centre has been disbanded. It is a pleasure to acknowledge the assistance of Dr SaraMaroske in preparing this bibliography.A number of items have been included thanks to her efforts, which also revealed previously unutilised and fruitful sources. Dr Tom May also added his mite. Thanks are also due to DrMonikaWellswho cast her expert editorial eye over the bibliography. Readers and authors often have sources of information that escape the attention of the compiler: they are encouraged to alert her to material they know of for inclusion in the next issue. Please note that the documentation style of the Encyclopedia of Australian Science (http://www.eoas.info/) has been used in this bibliography to facilitate the subsequent use of the entries in the encyclopedia.
