New SAE Journals Recognize Excellence, Give Greater Academic Visibility to SAE Technical Papers

WARRENDALE, Pa., April 9 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A new compilation from SAE International recognizes the best SAE technical papers written each year while giving the authors and the content greater visibility within the academic community.

SAE International Journals pull together the best SAE technical papers and research in ground vehicle and aerospace engineering technology. The collection will be presented in seven topic-specific journal titles: aerospace, commercial vehicles, engines, fuels and lubricants, materials and manufacturing, passenger cars-mechanical systems, and passenger cars-electronic and electrical systems. The journals will use the universally accepted format for paper citation.

The journals will be available April 10 in print and online formats. The online format will feature linking systems that facilitate academic research, discovery and citation of featured SAE International technical papers to increase authors' eligibility for inclusion in the scientific community's various indexes. More information on both the print and online formats can be accessed at www.sae.org/journals.

SAE International is partnering with HighWire Press to produce the online journals. HighWire is a division of Stanford University Libraries and host to 71 of the 200 most frequently cited journals.

SAE International is a global association of more than 121,000 engineers and related technical experts in the automotive, aerospace and commercial-vehicle industries.
