Topical Collection Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid advancement of drone technology has resulted in an array of innovative applications that have far-reaching implications across various disciplines. Drones takes immense pride in spearheading the dissemination of groundbreaking research and providing insights pertaining to drone technology. Last year, Stanford University published an update of the list of the top 2% most widely cited scientists—the World’s Top 2% Scientists—and 25 Editorial Board Members from Drones were featured in it. In light of this, Drones is thrilled to announce a Topical Collection dedicated to showcasing the exceptional work of scholars from the World's Top 2% Scientists and the Highly Cited Researchers List.
The Topical Collection aims to encapsulate the latest advancements, breakthroughs, and visionary concepts in drone technology and its multifaceted applications. By focusing exclusively on the work of the world's most influential researchers, we seek to present a collection of research articles and reviews that collectively define the cutting edge of drone innovation.
This Topical Collection accepts manuscripts in the form of an original research article or a review in the realm of drones. Manuscripts will undergo rigorous peer-review to ensure the highest standards of quality and impact.
We eagerly anticipate your participation in this Collection.
