 As a clearinghouse, ACYS synthesised a range of resources, by, for example, digesting the contents of newspaper articles for its "youth monitor" column in its journal, Youth Studies Australia, and by publishing abstracts of key articles in scholarly journals, bringing this information to the attention of the youth studies field.Its journal, Youth Studies Australia, was a platform for researchers and youth workers to publish peer-reviewed research papers and thereby provide material for anyone interested in youth research -- policymakers, practitioners and youth work/youth studies students.ACYS also supplied information about youth research, policy and practice in the form of news articles, book reviews, and other products for its multi-disciplinary audience.
