Abstract:

Aerospace Science and Technology (AESCTE) is a high quality Elsevier journal rating among the first in the field of Aerospace Engineering. In the last few years, the quality of the published articles, the impact factor of AESCTE, and as a result both the number of submissions and the number of rejections have been increased. The goal of this presentation is to provide background information on academic publishing in AESCTE. It outlines the various important steps that, as an Author, you need to follow in preparing your manuscript so that it becomes appealing to editors and reviewers, for going fast through the review process, and finally achieving a successful publication in AESCTE. It also aims to provide advice about how to properly structure your article in order to avoid as possible editorial comments that potentially delay or put serious obstacles to the publication of your work. From the title and keywords, right through to the conclusion and references, all the essential criteria are covered to make sure it can be a success. It goes without saying that the most important aspects for successful publication, which will make your work to distinguish among others and will accelerate the review and acceptance, are the innovative ideas it contains and the scientific value of your work. These elements will also lead to larger number of citations that will eventually befit you in the academic environment and in turn the AESCTE journal because they will contribute to further increase of the impact factor.
