About the Journal

Scope and Focus
Aviation and Aeronautics welcomes research spanning aerodynamics, propulsion, avionics, aircraft design, flight operations, air traffic control, UAVs, human factors, aviation safety and security, airport logistics, and policy or regulatory studies. We support interdisciplinary submissions linking engineering innovation to aviation systems and real‑world impact.

Open Access Policy
All articles are freely available on publication under a Creative Commons licence. There are no paywalls or reader fees; anyone worldwide may view, download and cite the work.

Editorial and Peer Review Process
Each manuscript is evaluated through double‑blind peer review with a minimum of two expert reviewers. Our process balances rigour and fairness with efficiency clear decisions are typically shared within 6–8 weeks.

Copyright & Licensing
Copyright remains with the author(s). Published articles are shared under a CC BY licence, enabling reuse with proper credit.

Article Processing Charges
We do not charge submission fees. If accepted, authors pay a modest APC to cover DOI registration and indexing support. Fee waivers are available to promote equitable access.

DOI Assignment & Indexing
Every paper receives a DOI. We aim to have Aviation and Aeronautics indexed in established databases to enhance visibility and citation impact within the SERN ecosystem.

Sponsorship and Disclosures
SERN provides full hosting, peer‑review management and platform technology at no cost to the journal. Authors must declare funding sources and any potential conflicts of interest during submission.

Privacy Statement
Author information (names, affiliations, emails) is used exclusively for managing the submission and publication process. Personal data is not shared with third parties without explicit consent.

Mission & Community
Our mission is to bridge theoretical engineering and operational aviation research from UAV flight systems to air transport policy. We welcome contributions from academics, engineers and practitioners worldwide, especially work that advances sustainable, safe and efficient aerospace systems.
