Peer Review

Peer review of contributed papers was offered to contributors to the International Congress on Acoustics, ICA 2010, as an option, selected by the author. The papers were sent to two reviewers with expertise in the topic area. The names of referees were kept anonymous from the authors. The referees reviewed the papers to ensure they were of high standard for the conference, and provided written feedback on the quality of the manuscripts. Where doubt remained after this process, the papers were reviewed by the scientific committee chairman. The referee criteria included: technical content, originality, clarity, English expression and technical significance. Authors were advised to make all changes recommended by the reviewers, or provide the editor with a technical justification for not making particular changes. The organising committee wishes to thank the scientific committee and the authors for their cooperation to enable this review process to occur. The following list of reviewed papers were accepted for the conference following this peer review process.
