Ning Xiang · The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America · 2012
The Journal of Acoustical Society of America (JASA) is an archival, peer-reviewed journal that has served the acoustics community for over 80 years. A rigorous peer-review process often results in significantly improved manuscripts qualified for publication; it also allows relative academic freedom and fairness. To help prospective authors disseminate their research results and progress, the JASA editorial board regularly publishes detailed, updated information, and guidelines. In addition to following these guidelines, a better understanding of the peer-review process is also critically important for prospective authors. This talk will provide some insights into the different roles and the interrelationship between the author(s), and the reviewers. This talk will also discuss criteria for accepting manuscripts, and engagement of knowledgeable reviewers using some disguised examples.
