The article looks at publishing options in the field of aircraft design to find that no dedicated journal on aircraft design exists. For this reason, a Continuous Special Issue Aircraft Design of the well established journal “Aerospace” at the Open Access publisher MDPI is started. Often special issues of a journal are introduced for “hot topics”. Here, the subset “special issue” is used for a scientific domain—in this case “aircraft design”. Recurring single special issues are numbered in sequence and are identified by the year of the deadline for manuscript submissions. This allows for the delivery of several single special issues over time in a row without the need to define a publishing schedule up front. Together these single issues form the Continuous Special Issue Aircraft Design and offer a new publishing home for the aircraft design community.

Authors, law journal staff members, and courts can create permanent citations to online resources with Perma.cc, a free library-sponsored service. This article explores expanding the use of Perma.cc to capture material otherwise inaccessible behind “paywalls” and to material the Bluebook requires authors to cite in print. These expansions would be simple to implement and would enhance the utility of legal citations. The author suggests three areas in which Perma.cc might expand: using Perma.cc to capture images of print-only materials, using Perma.cc as a legal blog repository, and expanding Perma.cc beyond legal citations.
