Bibliography of the history of Australian science, no. 42, 2020/21
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This bibliography includes material related to the history of science and technology in Australia, in particular the natural sciences (physical, earth and biological sciences); some of the applied sciences (including medical and health sciences, agriculture and related subjects, and engineering); and human sciences (anthropology and psychology).Geographic areas covered are Australia, as well as New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and other Pacific Ocean islands close to Australia, and Antarctica.Biographical material is also included, as are conference proceedings, book reviews and theses.The sources used in compiling this bibliography include those that have proved useful in the past in finding relevant citations.More than 250 journals were scanned for articles.The library catalogues of the National Library of Australia and the National Library of New Zealand Te Puna Ma ¯tauranga O Aotearoa, the Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne and Swinburne University of Technology were particularly useful sources of information.The vicissitudes of 2020 being what they were, a number of items published in 2019 came to the attention of the compiler too late for inclusion in the previous bibliography, and so are included here.In 2021, production of the bibliography moved to the Centre for Transformative Innovation Research at Swinburne University of Technology.All items in this bibliography (as with all earlier ones) are included in the Encyclopedia of Australian science and innovation (www.eoas.info),adding to a database of over 20,000 references related to the history of Australian science and technology.Invaluable assistance has been received from a number of people who alerted the compiler about recently published material for inclusion in the bibliography.Readers are invited to continue to send details of publications, for inclusion in the next issue, to the compiler at the email address above.Please note that the documentation style of the Encyclopedia of Australian science and innovation has been used in this bibliography to facilitate the subsequent use of the entries in this encyclopedia.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
