History

• The title began in 2000 as KSAS International Journal, issued twice a year by the society so that Korean aerospace work could reach readers outside the peninsula.该刊 2000 年以《KSAS International Journal》的名义创刊，由学会每年出两期，让韩国的航空航天研究成果进入半岛以外的视野。
• Volume numbers settle the date. Volume 3 belongs to 2002 and volume 27 to 2026, which puts the first volume in 2000 with no restart in between.卷号把年份钉住，第 3 卷属 2002 年，第 27 卷属 2026 年，据此第 1 卷落在 2000 年，中间没有重起。
• The present name came in 2009 at volume 10, when the society took its own name off the masthead to attract submissions from abroad.现刊名于 2009 年第 10 卷启用，学会把自己的名字从刊头撤下，以便吸引海外投稿。
• Frequency doubled a year later, from two issues to four, and volume 11 of 2010 is the first to run from issue 1 to issue 4.一年后刊期翻倍，由每年两期改为四期，2010 年的第 11 卷首次从第 1 期编到第 4 期。
• Money from the Korean Federation of Science and Technology Societies from 2011 paid for production work that is visible in the volumes of the following decade.2011 年起韩国科学技术团体总联合会提供资助，制作水准的改善在此后十年的卷次里看得出来。
• Clarivate added the journal to Science Citation Index Expanded with volume 13, issue 1, in 2012, fixing its place in the aerospace category.Clarivate 于 2012 年把该刊收入 SCIE，起点是第 13 卷第 1 期，其在航空航天类目中的位置由此确立。
• A contract with Springer changed the production side in 2018, when volume 19, issue 1 opened a co-publishing arrangement and the publisher's archive begins at that volume.2018 年与 Springer 签订的合同改变了出版环节，第 19 卷第 1 期起转为合作出版，出版方的电子存档也从这一卷开始。
• Digital identifiers record the same break, since volumes 3 to 18 carry the society's 10.5139/ijass prefix and every item from volume 19 onward carries 10.1007/s42405.数字对象标识符记下了同一次转折，第 3 卷至第 18 卷用学会自有的 10.5139 前缀，第 19 卷起的所有条目改用 Springer 的 10.1007/s42405。
• Three numbers sit in the record. Crossref still gives 1229-9626 as the print number of the society's first registration, items deposited for volume 14 in 2013 already show 2093-274X, and the electronic 2093-2480 appears with volume 19.记录里有三个刊号，Crossref 至今把 1229-9626 列为学会最初注册的印刷刊号，2013 年第 14 卷的存档条目已用 2093-274X，电子刊号 2093-2480 随第 19 卷出现。
• Issue counts moved again afterwards. Four issues a year held from 2010 through 2020, volume 22 ran to six issues in 2021, and five issues a year has been the pattern since volume 23 in 2022.刊期此后仍有变动，2010 年至 2020 年维持每年四期，第 22 卷在 2021 年出到六期，2022 年第 23 卷起固定为每年五期。
• The 2025 volume closed with five issues dated January to October, and volume 27 carries five dated January to July 2026, with issue 5 released out of sequence in March.2025 年的第 26 卷以五期收尾，日期从 1 月排到 10 月，第 27 卷的五期落在 2026 年 1 月至 7 月，其中第 5 期提前到 3 月出版。
• Open access is an option rather than the rule. The journal runs a hybrid model, gold open access took 11.7 per cent of its 2025 output, and 105 open access articles sit on the platform.开放获取是可选项而非通例，刊物采用混合模式，2025 年金色开放获取占发文的 11.7%，平台上现有 105 篇开放获取文章。
• Impact factors rose from 0.902 in 2021 through 1.233, 1.4 and 1.4 to 1.9 in 2025, with a five-year figure of 2.0, a JCI of 0.53 and a percentile of 55.1.影响因子从 2021 年的 0.902 经 1.233，1.4，1.4 升到 2025 年的 1.9，五年影响因子 2.0，JCI 为 0.53，百分位 55.1。
• Output grew with the impact factor, reaching 227 articles in the 2025 count against 1866 citations to the whole run and a cited half-life of 4.2 years.发文量随影响因子一同增长，2025 年统计为 227 篇，全刊累计被引 1866 次，引用半衰期 4.2 年。
• Indexing reaches past Clarivate, since Scopus, EI Compendex, INSPEC and the Korea Citation Index all cover the title, and the publisher's list adds ADS, Current Contents and the Chinese platforms CNKI and Wanfang.收录范围超出 Clarivate，Scopus，EI Compendex，INSPEC 与韩国引文索引都覆盖该刊，出版方的名单上还有 ADS，Current Contents 以及 CNKI 与万方。
