《航?！肥呛胶W會出版的季刊。該雜志發表了關于藝術、科學和技術定位、導航和計時的所有領域的原創同行評論文章，包括位置、速度、姿態和時間的估計，以及支持確定這些數量的技術。支持技術包括助航設備和儀器、算法和方法、誤差和完整性分析、信號處理、生物導航系統、測量和大地測量。該雜志還出版精選的歷史和調查文章，以及從研究所會議記錄中提取的具有卓越質量的論文。導航索引在擴展的湯森路透科學引文索引（也稱為scisearch?）、湯森路透期刊引文報告/科學版和湯森路透最新內容/工程計算和技術中。此外，導航在電氣和電子文摘中被抽象。導航文章的引文和摘要也可以使用inspect在線數據庫找到。截至2016年，導航具有1.6個期刊影響因素（JIF）。學術期刊的JIF是一種測量工具，用于計算期刊上最近發表文章的年平均引用次數，并表明期刊在其領域內的相對重要性。一般認為，影響因素較高的期刊，由于其引用率較低，被認為比影響因素較低的期刊更重要。這個國際學術聯合會把導航列為班上十大學術期刊。

NAVIGATION, The Journal of the Institute of Navigation is a quarterly journal published by the Institute of Navigation. The journal publishes original, peer-reviewed articles on all areas related to the art, science and technology positioning, navigation and timing including estimation of position, velocity, attitude, and time, and the technologies that support the determination of these quantities. Supporting technologies include navigation aids and instrumentation, algorithms and methods, error and integrity analysis, signal processing, biological navigation systems, surveying and geodesy. The journal also publishes selected historical and survey articles, as well as papers of exceptional quality drawn from the Institute’s conference proceedings. NAVIGATION is indexed in the Thomson Reuters Science Citation Index Expanded (also known as SciSearch? ), Thomson Reuters Journal Citation Reports/Science Edition, and Thomson Reuters Current Contents?/Engineering Computing and Technology. Additionally, NAVIGATION is abstracted in Electrical and Electronics Abstracts. Citations and abstracts of articles in Navigation can also be found using the INSPEC online database.As of 2016 NAVIGATION has a 1.6 Journal Impact Factor (JIF). The JIF of an academic journal is a measurement tool used to calculate the yearly average number of citations to recent articles published in a journal and is an indication of the relative importance of the journal within its field. It is generally recognized that journals with higher impact factors are deemed more important than those with lower ones due to its citation rate. This JIF ranks NAVIGATION in the top ten academic journals in its class.
