Journal of Aviation Technology and Engineering
The Journal of Aviation Technology and Engineering (JATE) is an Open Access, refereed publication serving the needs of collegiate and industrial scholars and researchers in the multidisciplinary fields of aviation technology, engineering, and human factors. A key focus of the JATE is to promote the bridging of these fields by publishing scholarly articles related to the integration of theory and application in an academically rigorous, theoretically sound manner. This process may consist of researchers working collaboratively toward a mutually supported end product or process improvement that is properly conceptualized using theory and made practical through application.
JATE publishes both quantitative and qualitative peer-reviewed research articles. Relative topics include air carrier and general aviation flight and ground operations, the technological aspects of airport operation, aviation maintenance and engineering, aviation human factors and applied training research in both collegiate and industry settings, and significant developmental and historical topics related to these areas.
The JATE is an Open Access journal. This means that articles are free for users, immediately on publication. In a global industry such as aviation, with many practitioners as well as academic researchers, the founders of the JATE regard free access to evidence-based research as essential for the development of the discipline.
JAAER (The Journal of Aviation/Aerospace Education & Research)
The JAAER publishes innovative scholarship on the integration and discovery of scientific knowledge and its application to aviation and aerospace. Each published article is read and reviewed by the editors and by at least two subject matter experts. All peer reviews are double-blind (or double anonymous). That is, the identity of the external reviewer is not known to the writer, and the writer’s identity is only revealed after publication. (If the article isn’t published, the writer’s identity remains confidential.) The journal is published on a free, open-access platform supported by the College of Aviation (Daytona Beach) at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. There are no fees for article submission and publication, and no charge for reader access. The JAAER invites submissions from researchers in academia, industry, government, and the military covering all dimensions of aviation / aerospace. More specifically, we encourage submission of original research; industrial application and design integration; education and workforce development; and reviews of important issues in aviation / aerospace theory and practice. The journal is inter- and cross-disciplinary in nature, covering a wide range of areas.
