Audio Paper offers a conceptual and practice-based approach for researchers across a wide range of disciplines to integrate auditory culture into their published work in the form of the audio paper.

The audio paper is an academic publication format presented as an audio production. Introducing this new format, the book invites scholars to engage in dissemination of research that integrates aesthetic perspectives with scholarly outcomes through technological mediation. This text builds on the authors' experience developing the audio paper and newly collected insights from researchers who have been involved in the production of audio papers over the past ten years.

By providing the reader with historical perspectives, ranging from early radio production to electroacoustic music and present day podcasts, the audio paper is contextualized as a technologically driven publication format, with a grounding in auditory culture. Through a structural analysis of published audio papers, the authors seek a more robust understanding of the methods for analysis as well as the dramaturgical means employed. For the future development of the audio paper, the book proposes a series of directions, underlining how the audio paper holds a potential to become a subversive intervention in academic publishing and a vehicle for for thinking and doing research through sound.
