ACTA ACUSTICA united with ACUSTICA
ACTA ACUSTICA united with ACUSTICA is an international, peer-reviewed journal on acoustics which is published bimonthly by Hirzel Verlag together with the European Acoustics Association (EAA). It continues the tradition of ACUSTICA founded in 1951 by C.W. Kosten (The Netherlands, first Editor-in-Chief), F. Canac (France), A. Giacomini (Italy), E. Meyer (Germany) and E.G. Richardson (Great Britain). ACTA ACUSTICA (since 1993) was united with ACUSTICA in 1996. From 2001 the journal is known as ACTA ACUSTICA united with ACUSTICA. Today, the distribution of the journal covers more than 3.500 membership subscriptions and a significant number of library subscriptions.
It publishes original articles on all subjects in the field of acoustics, such as: general linear acoustics, nonlinear acoustics, macrosonics, flow acoustics, atmospheric sound, underwater sound, ultrasonics, physical acoustics, structural acoustics, noise control, active control, environmental noise, building acoustics, room acoustics, acoustic materials, acoustic signal processing, computational and numerical acoustics, hearing, audiology and psychoacoustics, speech, musical acoustics, electroacoustics, auditory quality of systems.
The journal reports on original scientific research in acoustics and on engineering applications. The journal considers scientific papers, technical and applied papers, book reviews, short communications, doctoral thesis abstracts, etc. In irregular intervals also special issues and review articles are published.
ACTA ACUSTICA united with ACUSTICA is recognised by the European Physical Society and is regularly listed in: Applied Mechanics Reviews, Cambridge Scientific Abstracts / Electronics and Communication Abstracts, Current Contents® / Physical, Chemical and Earth Sciences, Current Contents® / Engineering, Computing & Technology, Ei Compendex Plus (Engineering Information), FRANCIS (CNRS), INSPEC, Research Alert®, SciSearch®, Science Citation Index.
ACTA ACUSTICA united with ACUSTICA is available in print, on CDRom and online via Ingenta Connect. Ingenta Connect today is one of the most comprehensive collections of academic and professional publications. Tables of content and abstracts, beginning with Volume 87 (2001), can be downloaded for free from: www.ingentaconnect.com/content/dav/aaua.
