Advancing Research Through Open Access Publishing
Discover how AES Open Access publications expand the reach of audio engineering research, making scholarly work freely available to the global community while supporting knowledge sharing and innovation.
What is Open Access?
A growing number of countries and funding bodies require Open Access to the results of publicly-funded research. The AES OA policy explains the options available to authors, and also deals with archiving/preprints.
If an AES paper has been made OA it will have the OA logo next to it and will be freely downloadable from the AES E-Library by anyone, even if they are not an AES member or E-Library subscriber.
AES Open Access Publication Fees
(otherwise known as Author Processing Charges or APCs).
All articles accepted for publication will be subject to the following page fee charges. For Research Papers, Engineering Reports, Communications, and Letters to the Editor, no charge up to 10 pages; pp. 11+ will be charged $100 per page. For Review Papers, there will be no charge up to 20 pages, but $100 will be charged per extra page starting from page 21.
