Preface
Agricultural technology is constantly evolving: digitalization, automation, and new drive systems using alternative energy sources are now shaping the industry's latest developments and science work. This is clearly evident in this 37th edition of the Yearbook Agricultural Engineering, whose chapter on "Digitalization and Automation" is particularly extensive. The Yearbook Agricultural Engineering itself is also undergoing further development. A significant milestone has been reached with its listing in the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ). Listing with Scopus is also under review, which will further increase the visibility of the Yearbook Agricultural Engineering. Once again, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all the authors! Without their often years-long, continuous commitment, this comprehensive overview of agricultural technology innovations would not be possible. The same applies to the reviewers, whose meticulous reviews ensure the high quality of the contributions.
The latest articles for the 37th Yearbook Agricultural Engineering are now available as usual on the website. I wish all readers an enjoyable reading experience!
Prof. Dr. Ludger Frerichs
Herausgeber
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.
