Popular Social Media Posts – November

It’s time to look at some of last month’s most popular social media posts on Facebook, Instagram, X (Twitter), and LinkedIn. The following posts got people to like, share, save, and perhaps most importantly, read the published research!

On the ASA Facebook page, a JASA Express Letter post featuring “Sound power of NASA’s lunar rockets: Space Launch System versus Saturn V” had really good engagement. You can visit the post first or read the article at https://doi.org/10.1121/10.0022538.

Users on Instagram really liked the cover image from Acoustics for Engineers from ASA Press. You can check out the IG post or get the book yourself at https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-662-63342-7

Then, on the The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America (JASA) X (Twitter) account, the post featuring an article from the Fish Bioacoustics Special Issue shared multiple times. See the original tweet here or read the article at: https://doi.org/10.1121/10.0021878.

Last, but certainly not least, a post inviting media to attend the press conference for the 185th ASA Meeting in Sydney, Australia piqued the interest of users on Linked In. See the original post and help spread the word by sharing the press release invitation at https://acoustics.org/press-conference/

Linked In

In fact, many of our upcoming social media posts will be about 185th Meeting, Acoustics 23 and will contain #Acoustics23. If you will be attending, be sure to include the hashtag so that we can follow along! We are especially looking forward to the POMAs that come after the meeting!

Call for Papers: Special Issue on Active and Tunable Acoustic Metamaterials

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America (JASA) and JASA Express Letters are calling for papers for a joint Special Issue on Active and Tunable Acoustics Metamaterials. This Special Issue invites all manuscripts exploring new active and tunable acoustic or elastodynamic metamaterials. Guest Editors for this Special Issue are Michael R. Haberman, Christina Naify, Bogdan Popa, and Serife Tol. The submission deadline is September 31, 2024. Read more here!

How joint Special Issues work: Authors have the option to select JASA or JASA Express Letters to submit a paper to for a Special Issue. Accepted papers will be published in the next available regular issue of the selected journal and identified as belonging to the Special Issue. After all papers have published for the Special Issue, they will be included in a cross-journal online collection at the JASA and JASA Express Letters websites. For more on how to submit, see the Call for Papers.

From POMA to Peer Review

Last week, we talked about how Lay Language papers are a great steppingstone towards writing a POMA, but did you know that the publication “path” can go even a bit further? As it turns out, publishing research in POMA is not considered prior publication for JASA or JASA Express Letters. That means you can build on the effort you made with your POMA, reaping the benefits of both publishing in POMA and in one of the ASA’s peer-reviewed journals.

Here are some recent examples of POMAs that helped pave the way for JASA or JASA Express Letters publications (pun intended).

POMA: Time-domain simulation of acoustic scattering and internal propagation from two gas bubbles, by Jiacheng Hou, Zhongquan Charlie Zheng, and John S. Allen
JASA Express Letters: Time-domain immersed-boundary simulation of acoustic propagation between two spherical gas bubbles, by Jiacheng Hou and Zhongquan Charlie Zheng
POMA: Low-frequency directional characteristics of a gamelan gong by Samuel David Bellows, Dallin T. Harwood, Kent L. Gee, Timothy W. Leishman
JASA: Directional characteristics of two gamelan gongs, by Samuel D. Bellows, Dallin T. Harwood, Kent L. Gee, and Micah R. Shepherd
POMA: Design and realisation of a directional electric vehicle warning sound system, by Nikolaos Kournoutos and Jordan Cheer
JASA: Investigation of a directional warning sound system for electric vehicles based on structural vibration, by Nikolaos Kournoutos and Jordan Cheer
POMA: Applying unsupervised machine learning clustering techniques to hospital soundscapes, by Kenton Hummel, Erica Ryherd, and Bethany Lowndes.
JASA: Relating clustered noise data to hospital patient satisfaction, by Kenton Hummel, Erica Ryherd, Xiaoyue Cheng, and Bethany Lowndes

Give it a shot yourself! The next time you present at an ASA meeting (maybe Sydney?), write a POMA, then use it as a jumping off point for a JASA or JASA Express Letters article. Your research can start making an impact almost immediately in POMA, then be developed further in a peer-reviewed JASA or JASA Express Letters article. Don’t miss out on any of the options available to you! If you have any questions about the process of turning your POMA into a JASA or JASA Express Letters article, reach out to Liz Bury, Senior Managing Editor of the ASA.

October 2023 JASA Express Letters Cover

The October JASA Express Letters cover features a photo of a big brown bat provided by the authors of “Representation of frequency-modulated sweeps in the cochlear nucleus of the big brown bat,” by Andrea Megela Simmons, Michaela Warnecke, and James A. Simmons.

This month’s issue also included a few Editor’s Picks you don’t want to miss:

“Higher-order mode filtering by a resistive layer,” by Svetlana Kuznetsova, Yves Aurégan, and Vincent Pagneux
“Computation of spherical sector harmonics norm with application to blind source separation,” by Deepika Kumari and Lalan Kumar

Popular Social Media Posts – October

It’s that time of the month where we take a look at some of our popular publications social media posts on Facebook, Instagram, X (Twitter), and LinkedIn. The following posts got people to like, share, save, and perhaps most importantly, read the published research!

On the ASA Facebook page, a Proceedings of Meetings on Acoustics (POMA) post featuring “Modeling the sound radiation of gamelan gongs using analytic rigid spherical models” got shared quite a bit. You can visit the post first or read the article at https://doi.org/10.1121/2.0001754.

Users on Instagram really liked the loudspeaker array from “Sound field synthesis for psychoacoustic research: In situ evaluation of auralized sound pressure level” published in The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America (JASA). You can like the IG post or go check out the entire article at https://doi.org/10.1121/10.0021066.

Then, on Linked In, the Acoustics Today (AT) collection covering Human Psychoacoustics piqued users’ interest. Leave your own reactions on the post or check out the articles at https://acousticstoday.org/at-collections-human-psychoacoustics/.

Over on the JASA Express Letter X (Twitter) account, the post featuring the Editor’s Pick, “Higher-order mode filtering by a resistive layer” got a lot of love. See the original tweet here or skip straight to reading the article at: https://doi.org/10.1121/10.0021283.
