The AEWG endorses the Journal of Acoustic Emission (JAE), but the JAE is not part of the AEWG itself. As a a special benefit for AEWG members any JAE back volume can be given to AEWG members for a donation of $50 per volume to AEWG (tax deductible as AEWG being a charitable organization) plus shipping costs ($3 for CD (up to 6), $5 per volume inside US, $9 outside for print before 2000.).

1. Aims and Scope of the Journal

Journal of Acoustic Emission is an international journal designed to be of broad interest and use to both researcher and practitioner of acoustic emission. It will publish original contributions of all aspects of research and significant engineering advances in the sciences and applications of acoustic emission. The journal will also publish reviews, the abstracts of papers presented at meetings, technical notes, communications and summaries of reports. Current news of interest to the acoustic emission communities, announcements of future conferences and working group meetings and new products will also be included.

Journal of Acoustic Emission includes the following classes of subject matters:

A. Research Articles: Manuscripts should represent completed original work embodying the results of extensive investigation. These will be judged for scientific and technical merit.

B. Applications: Articles must present significant advances in the engineering applications of acoustic emission. Material will be subject to reviews for adequate description of procedures, substantial database and objective interpretation.

C. Technical Notes and Communications: These allow publications of short items of current interest, new or improved experimental techniques and procedures, discussion of published articles and relevant applications.

E. AE Program and Data Files: Original program files and data files that can be read by others and analyzed will be distributed in CD-ROM.

Reviews, Tutorial Articles and Special Contributions will address the subjects of general interest. Nontechnical part will cover book reviews, significant personal and technical accomplishments, current news and new products.

2. Endorsement

Acoustic Emission Working Group (AEWG), European Working Group on Acoustic Emission (EWGAE), have endorsed the publication of Journal of Acoustic Emission.

3. Governing Body

The Editor and Associate Editors will implement the editorial policies described above. The Editorial Board will advise the editors on any major change.

Only papers not previously published will be accepted. Authors must agree to transfer the copyright to the Journal and not to publish elsewhere, the same paper submitted to and accepted by the Journal. A paper is acceptable if it is a revision of a governmental or organizational report, or if it is based on a paper published with limited distribution.

Compilation of annotated data files will be accepted for inclusion in CD-ROM distribution, so that others can share in their analysis for research as well as training. ASCII or widely accepted data formats will be required.

The language of the Journal is English. All papers should be written concisely and clearly.

2. Page Charges

No page charge is levied. One copy of CD-ROM will be supplied to the authors free of charge.

3. Manuscript for Review

Manuscripts for review need only to be typed legibly; preferably, double-spaced on only one side of the page with wide margins. The title should be brief. An abstract of 100-200 words is needed for Research and Applications articles. Except for short communications, descriptive heading should be used to divide the paper into its component parts. Use the International System of Units (SI).

References to published literature should be quoted in the text citing authors and the year of publication. These are to be grouped together at the end of the paper in alphabetical and chronological order. Journal references should be arranged as below. Titles for journal or book articles are helpful for readers, but may be omitted.

Abbreviations of journal titles should follow those used in the ASM Metals Abstracts. In every case, authors' initials, appropriate volume and page numbers should be included. The title of the cited journal reference is optional.

Illustrations and tables should be planned to fit a single page width (6.5"). For the reviewing processes, these need not be of high quality, but submit glossy prints or equivalent electronic files with the final manuscript. Lines and letters should be legible.

4. Review

All manuscripts will be judged by qualified reviewer(s). Each paper is reviewed by one of the editors and may be sent for review by members of the Editorial Board. The Board member may seek another independent review. In case of disputes, the author may request other reviewers.

5. Electronic Media

This Journal will be primarily distributed electronically by CD-ROM. In order to expedite processing and minimize errors, the authors are requested to submit electronic files or floppy disk copy of the paper. We can read Macintosh and IBM PC formats. On the INTERNET, you can send an MS Word file to ono@ucla.edu.
