About the journal
Transportation
|
Although the transportation needs of cities and nations around the world may differ in detail, there is much that is common. The benefit to be derived by sharing research findings and practical experience is therefore vast. Transportation lends itself to that vital process of information exchange by publishing carefully selected papers which advance the international fund of knowledge. Transportation lends itself to that vital process of information exchange by publishing carefully selected papers which advance the international fund of knowledge. Transportation focuses on issues of direct relevance to those concerned with the formulation of policy, the preparation and evaluation of plans, and the day-to-day operational management of transport systems . |
|
It concerns itself with the policies and systems themselves, as well as with their impacts on and relationships with other aspects of the social, economic and physical environment. Transportation is relevant to all parts of the world: industrialized, newly industrialized or developing. The journal has no model bias and is totally apolitical. Its mission is simply to help improve the transportation of people and goods by bringing an improved understanding of the subject to the theorists, practitioners and policy makers who study it.

Statement of Purpose and Editorial Policy
In our first issue, published in 1972, we explained that this Journal is intended to promote the free and vigorous exchange of ideas and experience among the worldwide community actively concerned with transportation policy, planning and practice. That continues to be our mission, with a clear focus on topics concerned with research and practice in transportation policy and planning, around the world.
These four words, policy and planning, research and practice are our key words. While we have a particular focus on transportation policy analysis and travel behaviour in the context of ground transportation, we willingly consider high quality papers relating to any aspect of transportation policy, planning and practice.
Our interest is not only with transportation policies - and systems and services - but also with their impacts on the social, economic and physical environment. We seek to be relevant to all parts of the world, helping improve the transportation of people and goods through a better understanding and appreciation of the key requirements, opportunities and constraints.
We are pleased to consider polemical papers, provided they are soundly based and well argued and do not seek to promote a particular policy interest or group.
Papers published in Transportation are subjected to peer review in accordance with standard international practice for scholarly journals.

Publication of a paper in Transportation therefore accords with the requirements of academic appointment and promotion panels.
