Ocean Acoustics Monograph Series

Abstract : LONG-TERM GOALS. To produce a series of monographs on a set of subjects in ocean acoustics that summarize our knowledge in those fields and give readers a view of the direction for the future. OBJECTIVES. Through the careful reviewing of each of the manuscripts the Board of Editors recommends or suggests to the authors changes to the text as necessary to assure a uniform standard to the subjects both in objective and technical level. The final manuscript for each subject is approved by the Board. APPROACH. Authors submit to the Board a draft of their manuscript for review, as stated above. Also they can request guidance when necessary. The objective of the Chair of the Board is to collate the opinions and suggestions of the other members, promote dialog when necessary to assure that clear and focused changes and recommendations are given to the authors. The approach is to work both individually and collectively with the other Board Members and then to provide guidance to the authors either individually or as a group, depending on the approach that the Board feels is best.
