Revolutionizing Digital Experience: Unveiling Upgrades for Our Digital Haven

In a significant shift, CSIRO Publishing, the editorially independent publishing arm of the national science agency, has announced the cessation of production for Cosmos, a popular science magazine platform, following a strategic review of their magazine business.

The final print edition of Cosmos, initially published by Cosmos, will be published in June 2025. Subsequently, digital subscriptions will also cease in June. All subscribers will receive a refund for their remaining subscription term. More details regarding refunds are provided below.

While the print era concludes, the Cosmos online news service will continue to thrive at the website, undergoing a transition later this year to CSIRO Publishing's new digital destination for science content. This innovative platform aims to consolidate audiences for a sustainable future, offering an expansive collection of peer-reviewed journals, e-books, and fact-based science news.

A dedicated news team will be hired to maintain the publication of the latest science discoveries and interviews with scientists. This dynamic news service will embrace Cosmos's science content legacy, continuing its mission in a fully digital format.

Subscribers are encouraged to sign up for Cosmos's newsletters to stay abreast of these developments.

This decision was not taken lightly, reflecting a broader trend of audiences moving away from print magazines in favor of digital content and escalating costs associated with print magazine production.

The management expresses gratitude to the countless writers, staff, and readers who have supported Cosmos Magazine over the years.

Subscription Refunds

  1. For subscriptions purchased directly from CSIRO Publishing using a credit card, the card owner's account will be credited for the balance of the subscription.
  2. If a subscription was acquired through the Royal Institution of Australia prior to June 2024, subscribers are requested to contact CSIRO Publishing via email at [email protected] or call 1300 788000 for a refund organization.
