The International Association of Voice Stress Analysts (IAVSA) has announced the release of the second edition of the 2024 Journal of Credibility Assessment Techniques (JCAT). This journal serves as a critical resource for the Voice Stress Analysis (VSA) industry, offering technical insights and updates to VSA users worldwide at no cost.
JCAT stands out as the first and only professional journal dedicated to the VSA community. Its unique position in the industry underscores its importance, as no other professional association or vendor currently produces a similar publication. This makes JCAT a cornerstone for anyone involved in VSA, providing essential knowledge and fostering a sense of community among professionals.
The current edition of JCAT includes an article by an international member from South Africa, highlighting the global reach and interest in VSA technology. The journal's content is relevant to all six different VSA systems available in the market today, ensuring comprehensive coverage of the industry's needs.
Looking ahead, the IAVSA plans to release the third edition of JCAT in December 2024, with a call for papers to be announced later this year. This ongoing commitment to publishing and sharing knowledge reflects the dynamic nature of the VSA industry, which is undergoing significant changes.
In addition to the journal, the IAVSA is set to introduce new VSA training programs later in 2024, including online options. This expansion in training offerings aims to meet the evolving needs of law enforcement, government agencies, and industrial security departments, who rely on VSA for various applications.
The IAVSA has a long-standing reputation for providing high-quality voice stress analysis training programs. As the only independent VSA training provider, the association is known for its reasonably priced and comprehensive certification programs. These programs include extensive testing to maintain the integrity and credibility of the certification process.
The 2024 edition of JCAT is formatted according to the American Psychological Association (APA) standards, ensuring that the publication meets high academic and professional criteria. The journal is available in PDF format on the IAVSA website at www.iavsa.com.
As the VSA industry continues to evolve, resources like JCAT play a crucial role in providing up-to-date information and fostering professional development. The release of the second edition of JCAT for 2024 marks another milestone in IAVSA's ongoing efforts to support and advance the field of voice stress analysis.
