STM publisher Springer and the Acoustical Society of America (ASA) have announced that they will collaborate to publish new books to bring important research to scientists and practitioners in the area of acoustics, as well as provide members of the ASA with a dedicated venue to publish their work. All types of books, from SpringerBriefs to textbooks and authored monographs, will be part of this new effort. The aim is to publish books across the whole range of current research in acoustics, and because of this, these titles can appear in any of Springer's book series where appropriate. The review and approval of book projects will be overseen by an editorial board approved by the ASA Executive Council. Acoustics covers a wide range of study, from noise control and oceanography, to bioacoustics and musical and architectural acoustics. The society's imprint – ASA Press – is the first book imprint dedicated to encouraging new books in acoustics. The intention is for titles to reflect the full range of cutting-edge work currently being undertaken in this area.
