Journal of Guidance, Control, and Dynamics Ping Lu, Editor-in-Chief Publications Committee 15 January 2014
Vision for JGCD • Goals • To be a most influential and respected journal in aerospace engineering • Surpass and maintain the lead over the IEEE Transactions on Aerospace Electronic Systems in SCI impact factor to become the highest-ranked research journal in Aerospace Engineering (For 2012 the JGCD had an impact factor of 1.27 vs. 1.29 for TAES) • Implementation Plan • Seek to further increase the submission of high-quality papers • Identify and recruit AEs with strong technical background in targeted/emerging areas • Publish focused special sections on advanced technology achievements from high-profile programs
Vision for JGCD • Implementation Plan Continued • Publish papers from rigorous studies on technology needs, assessments, and trends • Appoint 2 senior Associate Editors to assist the EIC in the endeavor of enhancing JGCD’s reach, influence, and impact • Publications Committee Action • Consideration of JGCD to become a monthly publication • Annual submissions (630) support a monthly publication • Currently with 300 pages, each JGCD issue has become too thick • Although a monthly publication may put pressure on production, but will contribute to the increase of the impact factor
