• In memory of Prof. Sadaoki Furui [posted on 4 August 2022]
  

  It is with great sadness that we report that Professor Sadaoki Furui passed away on July 31, 2022. He was the founding President of APSIPA serving from 2009 to 2012. He was a pioneering researcher in the speech area, an inspirational leader, and a close friend to many of us. He was instrumental in helping to establish and provided distinguished leadership to APSIPA. We will all greatly miss him. The next APSIPA newsletter will have a memorial article dedicated to Prof. Furui and at this year’s APSIPA ASC in Chiang Mai, Thailand we will have a special event and sessions to celebrate his life and achievements.

• APSIPA is a technical sponsor of IEEE ICME 2017 [posted on 15 Sept 2016]

• ATSIP has now been accepted for inclusion in the Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI). This is a new database in the Web of Science Core Collection from Thomson Reuters. ESCI complements other Thomson Reuters indexes by providing earlier visibility for sources under evaluation as part of the Science Citation Index (SCI). We are still awaiting an answer on our initial application made to the SCI and we will try to obtain an answer from Thomson Reuters as soon as possible. Just to be clear, inclusion in the ESCI does not mean that the journal is included in the Journal Citation Reports (JCR) - the database that leads to a journal being given an impact factor. What it does mean, however, is that the journal is now more discoverable, which will hopefully lead to more citations, thus strengthening our case for inclusion in the SCI and JCR. ATSIP papers published from 2016 onwards will now be included in the ESCI.

  More information on the ESCI can be found here: http://wokinfo.com/products_tools/multidisciplinary/esci/
