1.1 Relevance and Accessibility

An article will be published in Aerlines Magazine if it is deemed relevant and accessible.

Relevance of an article will primarily be determined by its topic and by the way this topic is covered or presented. Relevance is not determined by an article’s level of expertise, i.e. whether the article’s topic is very specialist, but it is rather determined by the added value of the article and by how the author manages to present his/her ideas, research and analysis in such a way that these can be of interest to a broad range of readers. An article has added value if it adds something new to the existing knowledge on aviation. This may include new knowledge, new insights, or new views on any topic within the aviation industry.

Accessibility of an article is determined by the soundness of the arguments, the use of language, as well as by the assumed prior knowledge among its readers. It is not determined by linguistic issues, such as command of the English language, although articles that require excessive editing will not be published.
