Aerosol Science and Technology: A professional society-library-publisher partnership in open access

Abstract

Like many professional societies, the American Association for Aerosol Research (AAAR) serves its community by publishing a journal that provides a forum for researchers in the field to share the results of their research. Through peer review, journals like Aerosol Science and Technology, which is published by Taylor & Francis for the American Association of Aerosol Research, vet papers, certifying both the quality of the science and the exposition of the manuscript. Both the editors who manage the process and the reviewers who provide their expert opinions voluntarily invest their efforts to ensure that only quality research appears within the pages of society journals. Commercial publishers who produce printed and electronic versions of the papers contained within the pages of the journal, on the other hand, run businesses that must return a profit to their shareholders.
