Abstract

The Faculty of Aeronautics as one of the centers of scientific research in the field of aviation in Slovakia is trying by different ways to promote their research results. A very common way of promotion is in the form of contributions in other various scientific journals or through their own Acta Avionica scientific journal, which seeks with its quality integrate into one of the international professional databases and become the media of major importance in aviation fields. To achieve this objective, however, a journal must fulfil certain requirements and support of electronic publishing. The paper deals with the transformation process of scientific-reviewed journal Acta Avionica to a modern magazine with supporting the electronic publishing. For this process is used an Open Journal System as a tool for fully supporting the editorial and publishing process to improve both the scholarly and public quality of refereed research. The open access to Acta Avionica journal has substantially increased its legibility and its citation, which is an important factor which indicates the quality of the journal and makes it possible integrate to a professional journal database as Thomson Reuters Master Journal List and Scopus lists.
