AIC ANNUAL REVIEW (AICAR)

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 AIC President's Report and Executive Committee updates.
  • Reports from regular, associate, and affiliated members and study groups.
  • Summaries of congresses and conferences, financial reports, award announcements, obituaries, 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 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 2011 to 2016, overseeing the transition from 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, ensuring the publication maintains its high standards and comprehensive coverage of the AIC's activities.

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