ISA Members Receive Free Access to ISA Transactions

ISA is now providing online access to ISA Transactions, a journal of advances and the state-of-the-art in the science and engineering of measurement and automation, at no cost to ISA members.

The latest in a long list of new and improved member benefits, access to the journal will be advantageous for leading-edge industrial practitioners and applied researchers. The journal, which seeks to bridge the gap between practice and theory in measurement and automation, is published quarterly on behalf of ISA by Elsevier, a leading scientific publisher serving 30 million scientists, students, and health and information professionals worldwide.

The journal includes peer reviewed articles centered on measurement topics such as sensors, perception systems, analyzers, signal processing, filtering, data compression, data rectification, fault detection, inferential measurement, soft sensors, and hardware interfacing. Articles relating to the measurement topics also study several different techniques such as artificial intelligence, fuzzy logic, communication systems, and process analysis.

The journal also focuses on automation topics like statistical and deterministic strategies for discrete event and continuous process control, modeling and simulation, event triggers, scheduling and sequencing, system reliability, quality, maintenance, management, and loss prevention. Techniques and best practices in automation are also covered, with article topics ranging from optimization, learning systems, and gaming strategy development to security and human interfacing and training.

"ISA is pleased to add another great member benefit to our comprehensive package, and we're confident that the unbiased, state-of-the-art technical information found in the journal each quarter will further deliver on our promise to provide unparalleled technical content to our membership," said ISA Executive Director and CEO Patrick Gouhin.
