ISAE members: please share your open-access papers or temporary Elsevier author share-links with the Society by contacting the Communications Officer (). Only published (not in press) papers will be posted. New papers will be added once a week (typically on Saturdays). For permanent open-access papers, please include a photo (at least 650x400 pixels, widthxheight) to be featured with your paper; otherwise, a relevant photo taken by another ISAE member will be chosen to represent your article.
There are nearly 700 members worldwide and each year the Society assembles for a major International Congress, where in addition to addresses by special keynote speakers, members present their latest research findings. There are also regular regional conferences held to encourage local knowledge exchange.
