The Bibliography

One of our more ambitious projects in recent years was the collation of the AAEE bibliography. Led by the University of Adelaide's Holger Maier, this project brought together the key publications on a number of relevant topics. There is a wealth of literature out there, but not all of it is equally useful. The bibliography gives you a starting point for accessing information about a range of different topics.

The nature of a project like the AAEE Bibliography means that it will never be complete. If you know of any other work that should be included here, or new categories that need to be added, then contact us at bibliography@aaee.com.au and pass along your contribution.
