AIC ANNUAL REVIEW (AIC AR)

This Website was implemented and edited in 2024 by Maurizio Rossi (Politecnico di Milano) 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 current 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.

As a fundamental part of its mission, the AIC Annual Review now 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.
