Navigation-Journal of the Institute of Navigation

《航海》是航海学会出版的季刊。该杂志发表了关于艺术、科学和技术定位、导航和计时的所有领域的原创同行评论文章，包括位置、速度、姿态和时间的估计，以及支持确定这些数量的技术。支持技术包括助航设备和仪器、算法和方法、误差和完整性分析、信号处理、生物导航系统、测量和大地测量。该杂志还出版精选的历史和调查文章，以及从研究所会议记录中提取的具有卓越质量的论文。导航索引在扩展的汤森路透科学引文索引（也称为scisearch?）、汤森路透期刊引文报告/科学版和汤森路透最新内容/工程计算和技术中。此外，导航在电气和电子文摘中被抽象。导航文章的引文和摘要也可以使用inspect在线数据库找到。截至2016年，导航具有1.6个期刊影响因素（JIF）。学术期刊的JIF是一种测量工具，用于计算期刊上最近发表文章的年平均引用次数，并表明期刊在其领域内的相对重要性。一般认为，影响因素较高的期刊，由于其引用率较低，被认为比影响因素较低的期刊更重要。这个国际学术联合会把导航列为班上十大学术期刊。

NAVIGATION, The Journal of the Institute of Navigation is a quarterly journal published by the Institute of Navigation. The journal publishes original, peer-reviewed articles on all areas related to the art, science and technology positioning, navigation and timing including estimation of position, velocity, attitude, and time, and the technologies that support the determination of these quantities. Supporting technologies include navigation aids and instrumentation, algorithms and methods, error and integrity analysis, signal processing, biological navigation systems, surveying and geodesy. The journal also publishes selected historical and survey articles, as well as papers of exceptional quality drawn from the Institute’s conference proceedings. NAVIGATION is indexed in the Thomson Reuters Science Citation Index Expanded (also known as SciSearch? ), Thomson Reuters Journal Citation Reports/Science Edition, and Thomson Reuters Current Contents?/Engineering Computing and Technology. Additionally, NAVIGATION is abstracted in Electrical and Electronics Abstracts. Citations and abstracts of articles in Navigation can also be found using the INSPEC online database.As of 2016 NAVIGATION has a 1.6 Journal Impact Factor (JIF). The JIF of an academic journal is a measurement tool used to calculate the yearly average number of citations to recent articles published in a journal and is an indication of the relative importance of the journal within its field. It is generally recognized that journals with higher impact factors are deemed more important than those with lower ones due to its citation rate. This JIF ranks NAVIGATION in the top ten academic journals in its class.
