About the journal
Transportation Research: Part A
Transportation Research: Part A contains papers of general interest in all passenger and freight transportation modes: policy analysis, formulation and evaluation; planning; interaction with the political, socioeconomic and physical environment; design, management and evaluation of transportation systems. Topics are approached from any discipline or perspective: economics, engineering, sociology, psychology, etc. Case studies, survey and expository papers are included, as are articles which contribute to unification of the field, or to an understanding of the comparative aspects of different systems. Papers which assess the scope for technological innovation within a social or political framework are also published. The journal is international, and places equal emphasis on the problems of industrialized and non-industrialized regions
|
Part A's aims and scope are complementary to Transportation Research Part B: Methodological, Part C: Emerging Technologies and Part D: Transport and Environment. The complete set forms the most cohesive and comprehensive reference of current research in transportation science.
Selected abstracts from Transportation Research Part A: Policy and Practice are available on TransportConnect, the Elsevier Science www service for the academic and professional community |

Audience
Transportation Planners, Modellers, Administrators, Policy Analysts, Urban and Regional Geographers
Instructions to Authors
All authors must sign the 'Transfer of Copyright' agreement before the article can be published. This transfer agreement enables Elsevier Science Ltd to protect the copyrighted material for the authors, but does not relinquish the author's proprietary rights. The copyright transfer covers the exclusive right to reproduce and distribute the article, including reprints, photographic reproductions, microform or any other reproductions of similar nature and translations, and includes the right to adapt the article for use in conjunction with computer systems and programs, including reproduction or publication in machine-readable form and incorporation in retrieval systems. Authors are responsible for obtaining from the copyright holder permission to reproduce any figures for which copyright exists.
Authors are encouraged to submit their maunscripts electronically either to the Editor-in-Chief or to one of the Associate Editors. Manuscripts should be accompanied by a covering letter mentioning the title of the paper and the name of the corresponding author, together with mailing address, telephone and fax numbers and e-mail address.
All manuscripts are subject to peer review. In most cases, a written report with at least two referees' reports will be sent to the author within four months from the date the paper is received. If more is needed for review, the author will be sent an up-date on progress at the end of the fourth month after submission.
Special Note for Authors: The evaluation of your manuscript will be considerably expedited if you submit your paper electronically. Please be aware, however, that the full text version may be sent by e-mail to referees. Word for Windows (PC) is preferred. But other formats are acceptable.
Editor-in-Chief
Frank A. Haight: all subjects.
Associate Editors
Edward K. Morlok: General theory and policy studies; technological change; the freight modes.
Adib Kanafani: Transportation planning: Air transportation.
Joseph Berechman: Cost and market structure analysis; regulatory reform; transit economics; aviation industry; infrastructure investment; urban systems modelling.
Electronic Manuscripts
It is recommended that the final draft of the manuscript be submitted on diskette with two paper copies. Please observe the following criteria: (a) specify what software was used, including which release (e.g. WordPerfect 6.0); (b) specify what computer was used; ( ) include both text file and ASCII file on the disk; (d) the file should be single-spaced and should use wrap-around end-of-the-line feature (i.e. no returns at the end of the line). All textual elements should begin flush left: no paragraph indents. Place two returns after every element such as title, heading, paragraphs, figure and table callouts, etc.; (e) keep a backup disk for reference and safety.
Style of Manuscript
All sections of the manuscript (abstract, text, references) should be double-spaced, using a single typeface and style. Use underlining only for definitions and subsections; do not underline for emphasis. Footnotes should be limited in number and size, and should not contain mathematical expressions.
Figures are photo-reproduced and authors will be required to furnish camera-ready artwork or glossy prints. Each figure should be placed on a separate sheet of paper, and should be of good quality. Lettering which appears on the figure should be of sufficient size to allow for considerable reduction. Write on the back, the figure number and something to identify the manuscript (its number or author(s) last names). The figure captions should be typed on a separate page at the end of the paper.
Tables and their captions should be typed on separate sheets, numbered consecutively and indicated in the text at their approximate position.
The journal uses two levels of headlining: the first ("Sections") is centred, and is all capitals. The second ("Sub-sections") is flush left and is in italics. Normally these are not numbered, but if there are numerous cross-references, which might be needed for example in mathematical proofs, decimal numbering of sections and sub-sections is allowed. Do not under any circumstances use "bullets" (whether oversize dots, or dashes) to set out items in a list. Use (a), (b) ... and if possible incorporate the list into ordinary paragraphing. Do not use ultra-short paragraphs of a single sentence frequently; each paragraph should contain a single idea, not a single remark.
Equations should be clearly displayed, with any unusual symbols (including Greek letters) identified in the margin. Equation numbers should be placed in the right margin and numbered continuously, not by section.
The abstract should describe in straightforward language the contents of the paper, but not its motivation. It should explain briefly the procedures and the results, and must not contain abbreviations and acronyms. After the abstract list up to six keywords.
The Harvard system of references is used. References should conform to the following style.
