American Journal of Audiology (AJA), first published in 1991, pertains to all aspects of clinical practice in audiology. Articles concern screening, assessment, and treatment techniques; prevention; professional issues; supervision; and administration, and may appear in the form of clinical forums, clinical reviews, letters to the editor, or research reports that emphasize clinical practice. Print issues of AJA are published in June and December of each year.
Beginning January 1, 2010, all ASHA journals will be online-only. FAQs for ASHA members are now available.
An Editor’s Award is presented each year to the AJA editor's choice of the most meritorious single article appearing in the journal during the preceding calendar year. A list of previous winners is posted on the ASHA Web site.

The American Journal of Audiology (AJA) annually publishes summary statistics of acceptance/rejection rates and manuscript processing times. These summary statistics provide data on acceptance/rejection rates, frequently used by tenure/promotion committees, as well as average manuscript processing times, often of interest to contributing authors.
Table 1 shows the rates of acceptance and rejection for manuscripts receiving a final decision in 2005 through 2007, regardless of the year the manuscript was submitted originally. Accepted manuscripts are those for which a final decision to accept has been made. Rejected manuscripts are those judged unsuitable for publication and for which no further revision or resubmission has been requested.
Table 1. Accept/reject rate for decisions made 2005-2007.
| Decision | No. | Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Accept | 62 | 67% |
| Reject | 30 | 33% |
| Total | 92 | 100% |
Figure 1 presents data for manuscripts that had completed the review process as of year-end 2007. The submission-to-decision interval is calculated from the date the editor's office receives the new or revised manuscript to the date a decision is made on the manuscript.
As of May 2008, the circulation for AJA was 8,979.
