The Australian Universities’ Review began its life in 1958 as the Federal Council Bulletin, and was known as Vestes from 1958-1988. Simon Marginson’s paper, published in vol. 50 no.2 in 2009, follows the fifty-year history of the journal and reviews a number of themes and trends from that history. References in the text relate to these publications by volume and number, without further specific reference to the journal’s title at the time.
