We discourage the use of color for color's sake. There is no extra charge for articles including color in the version that is published online. If a Reviewer feels that the use of color is superfluous, he or she can request that it be removed in the revision of the manuscript. Manuscripts submitted to ARLO are allowed only one revision. The Author may make a request to the Associate Editor that the manuscript continue in the standard review process of the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, outside the ARLO system.
Reviews primarily focus on content.
The Manuscript Manager and the Associate Editor will be happy to assist you if you have questions about the reviewing process. Contact them by e-mail, using the appropriate pull down option on the Manuscript Status page.
