Notes
* These journals have accepted to cooperate with DGLR on papers from the German Air and Space Congress (DLRK)
** Both CEAS Journals are part of the current publication option of the German Air and Space Congress (DLRK)
*** The CEAS Aeronautical Journal claims on it's web page to be indexed in SCOPUS, however neither SCOPUS, nor CWTS, nor SJR show evidence of it!
Springer show a SCOPUS screen shot with 103 (from 153) articles listed, but does not (can not) explain, why no metrics are given.
