History
AQ has been in continuous publication since 1929, and published by the Australian Institute of Policy & Science since 1932.
Previously known as AQ – Journal of Contemporary Analysis, it has always published articles which analyse political, economic and social issues vital to Australia. With the rise of the importance of innovation and our intellectual economy, AQ has become Australia’s only magazine devoted to Australia’s scientific future, with a focus on the science policy that will shape the world we live in.
