Focus and Scope

The Journal of the International Colour Association (JAIC) is an online, free-access, double-blind peer-reviewed journal devoted to all aspects of colour. Multi-disciplinary papers are particularly welcome and authors are encouraged to avoid the use of discipline-specific jargon and nomenclature where at all possible.

The journal is published exclusively in digital form: full-text articles may be accessed for free via the internet. The journal encourages the effective use of colour, multimedia, hyperlinks, and other digital enhancements. JAIC is affiliated with the International Colour Association (AIC), an international organisation devoted to research, training, and dissemination of knowledge in colour.

The first five issues of the journal were published by The Society of Dyers and Colourists (UK) as Colour: Design and Creativity. Issue 6 was the first issue published by the International Colour Association as JAIC.
