Focus issues are an exciting new addition to SAE International’s Scholarly Journals Program.
Promoting dynamic “hot” topics in the field, focus issues offer comprehensive overviews of a wide range of promising and innovative research areas in mobility engineering. All focus issue proposals are initially evaluated by an editor-in-chief and associate editors of the applicable journal and guest editors are carefully vetted by SAE staff and journal editors. Each focus issue is administered by a panel of guest editors (in consultation with regular journal associate editors and/or editors-in-chief) and is comprised of rigorously peer-reviewed articles from top researchers across industry, academia, and government. Manuscripts submitted for focus issue consideration are further evaluated by SAE staff for plagiarism and by an associate editor with relevant expertise for topical relevance and scientific integrity. If the manuscript is found suitable on those grounds, it is then handled by the guest editor in the same manner as regular manuscript submissions—subject to a double-blind peer-review process, with a minimum of three independent subject expert reviewers. Upon recommendation by the guest editor after reviews and manuscript revision, the editor-in-chief evaluates the manuscript, reviews, and recommendation. Approval must be given by the editor-in-chief for publication in the focus issue, with the editor-in-chief’s decision being final.
