AIC ANNUAL REVIEW (AIC AR)

This Website was implemented and edited in 2024 by the AIC President thanks to the Public Knowledge Project.

The AIC Annual Review, released every March, is a peer-reviewed Diamond Open Access publication, ensuring that its content is freely accessible to readers worldwide without subscription fees. It provides a detailed account of the AIC's global network, featuring:

  • The Editor's note, AIC and Executive Committee updates.
  • The AIC President's Report.
  • Reports from AIC Regular, Associate and Affiliated members.
  • Reports from AIC Study Groups.
  • Summaries of AIC Awards, Congresses and Conferences, obituaries, financial reports, and more.

The editorial team has included prominent experts in the field. The editorial leadership of the AIC Annual Review and its predecessors reflects the dedication of distinguished experts in the field of color science. Alan Robertson served as editor for the AIC Annual Newsletters in 1986–1987, followed by Paul Green-Armytage (1990, 1993), Roy Osborne (1994–1997), Paula J. Alessi (1998, 2000–2001), and Roy S. Berns (2006, 2008–2009). Lindsay MacDonald took on the role from 2010 to 2017, overseeing the transition from AIC Annual Newsletters to the AIC Annual Report. Vien Cheung and Leslie Harrington began co-editing the AIC Annual Review in 2017, joined by Takahiko Horiuchi (2019–2020), Robert Hirschler (2021), and Ingrid Calvo Ivanovic (2022–2023). The 2022-2024 Editor, Maurizio Rossi, continues this legacy, establishing this website to organize and collect together over 40 years of information on the activities in the color sector at a global level, ensuring these publications maintain their high standards and comprehensive coverage of the AIC's activities. At the end of 2025, the editorial leadership passed to Verena M. Schindler, who brings a long-standing and extensive experience of collaboration with the AIC. As Editor, she will ensure continuity in editorial quality while further strengthening the AIC Annual Review’s role as a key reference for the international color community. Her appointment reflects a commitment to sustained excellence and informed stewardship of the series.

As a fundamental part of its mission, the AIC Annual Review promotes peer-reviewed interdisciplinary collaboration, knowledge dissemination, and innovation in all the areas of color, supporting the AIC's overarching goals of fostering research and global understanding of color.
