Submission Rules

Submitted manuscripts cannot be previously published, nor be forthcoming in an archival journal or book (print or electronic).  Please note: “publication” in a working paper series does not constitute prior publication. In addition, by submitting material to the International Journal of Aviation Research, the author is stipulating that the material is not currently under review at another journal (electronic or print) and that he or she will not submit the material to another journal (electronic or print) until the completion of the editorial decision process at the International Journal of Aviation Research. If you have concerns about the submission terms for the International Journal of Aviation Research, please contact the editors.

Plagiarism

All manuscripts submitted to the International Journal of Aviation Research will be assessed for originality using plagiarism detection software.  Plagiarism or other acts of scholarly dishonesty are serious offenses that may result in the manuscript being rejected and the authors prohibited from submitting scholarly works for future publication consideration.
