The info at the top of the study in the Internet file is actually the full publication information.

We received this study as a printed volume bound with GBC binding (the plastic spine type) from the Motor Accidents Authority of New South Wales, Australia. It is located in Sydney, Australia, and is a government agency. It should be cited as the report of a government agency.

The cover says:
The Effectiveness of Bicycle Helmets - A review
Revised Edition Prepared by Dr. Michael Henderson for the Motor Accidents Authority of NSW
Reorder Number - MAARE-010995
ISBN 0 7310 6435 6

There is no date, but the cover letter which accompanied it was dated September 26, 1995 and signed by Anne Deans, Rehabilitation Manager, Motor Accidents Authority of New South Wales, Level 12 139 Macquarie Street, Sydney, NSW 2000, Australia. Telephone (02) 252-4677. Fax (02) 252-4710. It was Ms. Deans who gave us permission to put it up on the Internet.

In our opinion this study qualifies as primary research even though it is in the form of a literature review. In fact the author digests and summarizes the relevant topics so that the literature review feature becomes just another form of footnoting, done this way because it would be too cumbersome if done as traditional footnotes.
