Journals
The preeminent scholarly journal publishing research papers in color science is Color Research and Application, started in 1975 by founding editor-in-chief Fred Billmeyer, along with Gunter Wyszecki, Michael Pointer and Rolf Kuehni, as a successor to the Journal of Colour. Previously most color science work had been split between journals with broader or partially overlapping focus such as the Journal of the [Optical Society of America], Photographic Science and Engineering, and the Journal of the Society of Dyers and Colourists.Other journals where color science papers are published include the Journal of Imaging Science & Technology, the Journal of Perceptual Imaging, the Journal of the International Colour Association, the Journal of the Color Science Association of Japan, Applied Optics, and the Journal of Vision.
