Breaking radio silence to inquire ....

Perhaps you could provide information on the distinction between a AES Preprint and an AES Paper. I ask because the information on the AES site seems to be unclear on the matter. For example the information in Information for Convention and Conference Authors (http://www.aes.org/journal/con_infoauth.html) speaks about "convention and conference papers" and the term Preprint doesn't even appear. This area does provide the following information regarding coprwright:

"The standard AES paper cover is copyrighted by the Audio Engineering Society and may not be reproduced without permission. Copyright to the content (but not the AES format) of an AES paper remains with its author. However, when submitting a paper for presentation at an AES convention, an author agrees that the AES Journal will have the first opportunity to consider it for publication. If it is accepted for publication in the Journal, authors will be asked to execute a transfer of copyright agreement."

Again, mention of a "submitting a paper", not a preprint. As to what the AES publishes in its "Journal" we learn only that, for convention and conference papers, it has "the first opportunity to consider" for publication. There is certainly nothing about authors submitting papers for AES publication, nor for that matter anything at all about a submission/review/accept-reject process your post seems to hint at, or at least it seems to me that the following hints as such a process:

"It does not, however, reflect the opinion of the AES. Merely that it was submitted, and deemed not acceptable for publication.

The reasons for non-acceptance will of course, be different between the author and those who rejected it. Not being one who rejected it, I cannot say why."

To add to the confusion the Publication Contents list (at http://www.aes.org/publications/) included:

Convention Preprints .... a link that leads to a list of Preprint items

CD-ROMs of Convention Papers ... a link that leads a list of complete/single Convention Preprints

The 2nd item clearly fails to distinguish between a "Paper" and "Preprint".

Oh, BTW, since the Risch Paper/Preprint can be located by either of these routes, that the AES *publishes* said paper is *indisputable*; sorry for pointing out something all-too-obvious.

Anyway, as I cannot find information on the AES site on the process for authors submitting material for inclusion in a AES Journal I was hoping you could provide additional information on the topic.

Cheers, bjh
