Preface
This is the 36th edition of the Yearbook Agricultural Engineering - again with some changes that we have made this year! For example, we have set up an Editorial Board. Another focus was on the content and structure of the website. The driving force behind this is our goal of listing the Yearbook Agricultural Engineering in scientific databases. This should increase the visibility of the community and the value of the yearbook. To this end, we are in good contact with Scopus and others, which is why we are looking forward to its realization in 2025. By expanding the "Community" section, we have also extended the research options. It is now possible to link to agricultural dissertations, historical documentation and much more. Last but not least, the many authors at the heart of the yearbook have once again written very important and varied articles. Without their commitment, often over many years, which cannot be taken for granted, the yearbook would not be possible in this form and scope! The same applies to the reviewers, who make an important contribution to maintaining the quality of the articles.
The new Agricultural Engineering Yearbook will now be published as usual on the homepage. We wish all readers a good read with many positive impressions!
Prof. Dr. Ludger Frerichs
The Yearbook Agricultural Engineering offers a wealth of specialised knowledge from experts in agricultural technology (science, associations and industry). The articles are organised according to specialist disciplines and in particular reflect current trends in the sector as well as new developments. The attached bibliographies allow for in-depth reading.
The articles are published regularly in the first quarter of each year, with the publication cycle varying from annually to triennially depending on the specialist area. All articles are published online in German or English; at the request of the authors, the articles can undergo a scientific review process.
The Yearbook Agricultural Engineering is published by Prof. Dr Ludger Frerichs, Head of the Institute of Mobile Machinery and Commercial Vehicles at the Technische Universitaet Braunschweig. The articles are written by experts from science, associations and industry who contribute their knowledge and time free of charge. This also applies to the reviewers in the review process. The publication of the Yearbook is supported by the Institute of Mobile Machinery and Commercial Vehicles and the Max Eyth Society for Agricultural Engineering of the VDI (the Association of German Engineers). Further information on the structure can be found in the Editorial Board section.
