The Journal of the Acoustical Society
F. R. Watson · The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America · 1939
The Acoustical Journal is the official publication of the Acoustical Society. It includes scientific papers describing important developments in acoustics, also various miscellaneous items of interest. It reaches a wide circle of readers at home and abroad, thus satisfying the demand for authoritative information about acoustics. The Journal is managed by an Editorial Board that determines the policy of the magazine, reviews all the material intended for publication and has general charge of the Journal activities. The final editing of papers is delegated to the capable supervision of the Editorial office of the American Institute of Physics, which also makes arrangements for the printing. The papers published cover a wide variety of subjects—the fundamental characteristics of sound, the phenomena of hearing, supersonics, the control of sound in buildings, the characteristics of musical sounds with reference to speech, music and musical instruments, etc.—all of which indicate the active interests in acoustics in the United States. The Journal is an integral unit in the Acoustical Society, setting forth in a permanent record the progress and accomplishments of this young and vigorous organization.
