AEROSPACE LETTERS - INFORMATION

Introduction

Aerospace Letters are brief communications (approximately 2000 words) that describe new and potentially important ideas or results, including critical analytical or experimental observations that justify rapid publication. They are stringently prescreened, and only a few are selected for rapid review by an Editor. Accepted Aerospace Letters are published here as soon as they are processed (before appearing in print), and they are freely available to everyone for a period of six months. After that six-month period, they will be removed from this section of the Web site but will continue to be available to AIAA Journal subscribers in both the print and online versions of the journal issue in which they appear. (Search AIAA Journal tables of contents to locate specific Letters.)

Submissions

Authors who wish to submit an Aerospace Letter for possible publication should go to www.writetrack.net and follow the instructions given there.

Reference Citations

Authors who wish to cite an Aerospace Letter appearing in the advance publication list above should use the following format if the paper has not yet been published in a regular journal issue:

Doe, J., "Title of Letter," AIAA Journal, published online 30 Nov. 2006. doi: xxxxxxx [use number appearing in full-text version of Letter]

If the paper has been published in an issue, use this format:

Doe, J., "Title of Letter," AIAA Journal, published online 30 Nov. 2006, Vol. xx, no. xx, 2006, pp. xxxx-xxxx. doi: xxxxxxx [use number appearing in full-text version of Letter]

Read the section on Digital Object Identifiers (right sidebar) for an explanation of the DOI® number. Add regular publication data (volume, issue, pages) to your citation as soon as that information is available.
