Canadian Acoustics: Announcements

JASA will be a fully-online journal

2024-04-01T14:27:37-07:00

Here is an announcement received from our colleague (and former president of the CAA), Stan Dosso: JASA will be a fully-online journal by 2025!

------------------------------------------------

I am writing to give you advance notice that the Acoustical Society of America (ASA) will cease publication of printed (paper) issues of the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America (JASA) in January 2025, after which JASA will be a fully-online journal.

There are several reasons for this:

The number of ASA members and institutions choosing JASA in-print has been steadily decreasing over many years and is now very small relative to the total number of subscriptions;
Discontinuing JASA in-print will provide a significant cost savings for the ASA in printing and postage charges;
Discontinuing JASA in-print will also eliminate the in-print color figure charges, making the journal more author-friendly and better configured for Read & Publish institutions;
Reducing paper printing is more environmentally friendly.

Please also note that the ASA will also no longer print paper issues of conference programs for similar reasons. PDF versions of the full programs will be available, and the ASA website and interactive apps will be available for improved meeting information.

Acoustically yours,

ASA and AWC Conference Proceedings

Attendees of the joint conference are invited to submit their conference proceedings to both ASA and CAA through the Proceedings of Meetings on Acoustics (POMA) and the Canadian Acoustics journal (JCAA). For the Acoustics Week in Canada conference proceeding, the manuscript is a two-page article (French and English preview) that can be formatted using the available Microsoft Word or Latex templates and that can be submitted directly, before May 1st 2024, to the Proceedings of the Acoustics Week in Canada section. Per the agreement in place between ASA and CAA, the title of the proceeding paper must be different in both system for proper indexing and citation.

Program and Costs
ASA School 2024 will take place at the Westin Ottawa Hotel, which is the ASA meeting hotel. Lectures
and demonstrations followed by discussions will be given by distinguished acousticians in a two-day
program covering topics in acoustical oceanography, animal bioacoustics, computational acoustics,
musical acoustics, physical acoustics, signal processing in acoustics, structural acoustics and vibration,
and underwater acoustics. Although ASA School 2024 will focus primarily on these 8 technical areas,
graduate students and early career professionals in all areas of acoustics are encouraged to attend to
achieve a broader understanding of the diverse field of acoustics.

The registration fee is \$50. Hotel rooms at the Westin Ottawa Hotel for two nights (double occupancy)
and meals will be provided by ASA. Participants are responsible for their own travel costs and
arrangements including transportation to the Westin Ottawa Hotel.

Participants and Requirements
ASA School 2024 is targeted to graduate students and early career acousticians (within 3 years of
terminal degree) in all areas of acoustics. Attendance is limited to 60 participants who are expected to
attend all School events and the ASA meeting immediately following on 13-17 May 2024. ASA School
attendees are required to be an author or co-author on an abstract for presentation at the ASA Ottawa
meeting.
