Open Access Publications Policy

The latest version of our Open Access Publications Policy (v1.3) has now been approved and is published online. Adapting to a rapidly changing landscape for scholarly publications, we believe this allows for authors to comply with the latest open access mandates from funders, institutions and national governments, while protecting the Society's interests as publisher. It contains guidelines for Journal paper authors and clarifies the options available to convention/conference authors.

Latest Standards Activity

The standard AES67-2013 specifies methods for high-performance streaming audio-over-IP network interoperability. A recent report, AES-R12-2014, summarizes the AES67 interoperability test event ("plugfest") held at the IRT in Germany from 27–30 October 2014. Ten companies tested 16 products against each other to confirm interoperability. The results are presented, together with the results of a range of tests of optional operational modes described in the standard.
