| Type | Initialism |
The initialism ASMR stands for Australian Society for Medical Research in Australian research organizations and events. The society describes a role representing health and medical researchers and contributing to scientific, public and political advocacy.
The professional society, a conference it organizes and a finding presented at that conference are separate references. An ASMR event title identifies the organizational context; it does not make the society the author of every presentation or establish that a reported result is proven. The society’s history credits Barry Firkin and other young scientists with its founding in 1961, following organizing work described for 1960. Use for Medical Research in the name; it is distinct from the historical American mining society.
