Re: Breaking radio silence to inquire ....

Hey there..aha, a lurker..

JR is the one who makes the distinction as to his paper being a "pre-print". He is the one who stated that his paper did not make it through some "culling" process.

I noted way back then, that anybody at all can submit a paper and call it a pre-print. As a pre-print, it can be entirely worthless, or it could be a gold mine.. It could have been rejected because it was obviously worthless, or as JR stated, because somebody didn't like him..(actually, I think he said politics). Another reason for rejection (that I can think of) could be something as simple as the topic fell outside some categories of interest. I do not know firsthand, the reason w/r to JR's submission.

Nonetheless, the descriptor "paper" carries with it the underlying assumption that the contents were somehow blessed by the AES, which is not correct. Yes, they own it, but no, they didn't consider, for whatever reason, it worthy of publication in a specific journal..

I cannot speak on AES Journal procedures w/r to acceptance or rejection, as I have never submitted to them. My experience is limited to other organizations, none of which have rejected any of my submissions or those of my collaborators. This could be construed as excellence on my part, or that they will publish anything at all as they are desperate!!..:-) Honestly, it may be something as simple as a lack of peers capable of understanding the content...(well ok, maybe staying awake while wading through the crap is the real reason) You could ask JJ about the process for AES.

I have, however, refereed papers for a technical journal, and have on occasion sent back submitted papers with severe technical errors (I checked that box that said:...""The author(s) should be advised to revise the paper according to the enclosed report.""

So I can speak on why a paper would be rejected on technical merit, but cannot speak on rejection for other reasons.

Cheers, John
