About the journal

The European Journal of Transport and Infrastructure Research (EJTIR) is a peer-reviewed scholarly journal, freely accessible through the internet. EJTIR aims to present the results of high-quality scientific research to a readership of academics, practitioners and policy-makers.

As early as in 2005, EJTIR was the first journal in transportation to adopt an open-access, internet-only publication format, and it is currently the only open-access e-journal in transportation with an ISI impact factor.

It is our ambition to be the journal of choice in the field of transport and infrastructure both for readers and authors. To achieve this ambition, EJTIR distinguishes itself from other journals in its field, both through its scope and the way it is published.

First and foremost, we are a scholarly journal. This implies that we will only consider papers that explicitly contribute to relevant academic literature, as documented in international peer-reviewed journals. We expect the introduction of every paper submitted to EJTIR to contain a review of past work on the paper's topic, which is used to explicitly identify an academic knowlegde gap. In addition, we expect submitted papers to explicitly mention in the introduction the aimed for contribution in terms of filling the identified knowledge gap. Note that the large majority of the 60% of papers that are rejected in our desk review-process are rejected because they fail to convincingly argue their contribution to the scholarly literature.

  • We do not only want to contribute to the academic debate on transport and infrastructure, we also want to contribute to practice. We are primarily interested in publishing research that makes a real difference in addressing the immense and growing challenges of today’s transport systems. This means that EJTIR encourages submission of scholarly papers that explicitly aim to support decision-making and policy-making in the field of transport and infrastructure.

  • Most of the issues related to transport policy- and decision-making are multidisciplinary by nature. As a result, EJTIR encourages submission of papers that present research positioned between disciplines.

  • Transport and infrastructure can be studied from a wide range of perspectives. EJTIR is particularly interested in papers that adopt a social science-perspective, such as papers with an orientation towards the economics, psychology, and public policy dimensions of transportation and infrastructure planning. We do consider papers with a predominant engineering perspective, but only if their quality and contribution to the literature are exceptional. To give an example, EJTIR may be the right journal for a paper that discusses policy-related causes and cures for cost overruns of large infrastructure projects, while papers discussing topics such as, for example, transit timetable optimization algorithms, optimal asphalt mixtures, and technical requirements for vehicle-to-vehicle communication, may be better suited for other journals with a more explicit engineering focus.

  • In addition, current transport problems often require that they are viewed from different perspectives. Therefore, EJTIR strongly supports special issues. Our ambition is to publish two special issues each year. We strongly encourage prospective guest editors to contact us with their ideas.

  • We are a European journal. Although papers from every corner of the globe are welcome, EJTIR expects authors whose papers focus on regions outside Europe, to explicitly discuss potential lessons relevant to the European context. In addition, when a submitted paper is based on a case study or data from non-European regions, we demand that its contribution to the scholarly literature (in terms of, e.g., theory development or a methodological advance) is particular noteworthy.

    We are an open-access journal. Readers pay no fees, and neither do authors. We strongly believe that access to ideas developed with the aim of addressing important transport-related challenges should not be restricted to those individuals and institutions that are able to pay publishers large (subscription) fees.

    We are an internet-only journal. Most scholars would say that the internet has replaced hardcopy material as the foremost scholarly medium of communication and dissemination. We agree with this view. The open-access, internet-only format brings important practical advantages to our authors and readers:

    • Authors can disseminate their published work easily to colleagues around the world, without any formal restriction. They can also freely use their published EJTIR-papers for educational purposes.

    • Authors benefit from the internet-based format as it allows us to drastically reduce turnaround times. Compared to most other journals in our field, EJTIR’s review and publication process is about twice as fast.

    • Readers can freely access our papers from wherever they are: the only requirement is access to the internet. In turn, the accessibility of papers published in EJTIR increases their potential impact.

  • Instructions to Authors

    The manuscript should be submitted to the Editor-in-Chief (Caspar Chorus) by e-mail: ejtir@tudelft.nl. Manuscripts are received with the understanding that they comprise original, unpublished material and are not being submitted for publication elsewhere. Furthermore, manuscripts submitted to EJTIR are received under the condition that all co-authors are aware of, and agree with, the submission. All manuscripts are subject to anonymous peer review. Before publication, the corresponding author must approve publication. 

    The manuscript should be produced using MS Word, and submitted in double-space, wide-margins format. The manuscript should be written in English: only UK spelling is allowed. Quality of the English language use by non-native speakers is the full responsibility of the authors. The manuscript should preferably consist of no more than 20 pages in total when single-spaced (or approximately 8000 words).

    Template

    A template is available from this link (word 6.0 or higher).

    Title page

    The title page's text is aligned to the left and should contain a title (bold, font 14), followed by the authors' name and affiliation (first name or initials, last name, university or institute, faculty (optional), city, country, and e-mail address). These affiliations are followed by an informative abstract of no more than 250 words, printed in Italic. This abstract should not contain abbreviations nor acronyms. The abstract is followed by a maximum of about six key-words, listed alphabetically.

    Main text

    Headings, Sub-headings, Numbering

    Within a manuscript, up to three levels of headings may be used, not including the title of the manuscript. The first two levels are numbered, the third is not, but is typed in Italic. Figures, tables and mathematical expressions are numbered throughout the manuscript, not by section.

    Footnotes/Endnotes

    Footnotes and endnotes should be limited in number and size, and should not contain mathematical expressions. Arabic numerals should be used. Endnotes should appear after the acknowledgments, before references.

    Mathematical Expressions

    An equation editor should be used to create equations. Every symbol used should be introduced. The numbering of mathematical expressions should be aligned to the right.

    Figures/ Illustrations / Tables

    Figures and tables should be placed within the paper’s text itself and in the size in which they are going to be displayed in the journal. Note that EJTIR’s internet publication allows the use of colours. Figures should be entities in themselves, not a combination of separate elements (arrows, boxes, etc) grouped together in MS Word. Tables' lay-out should be kept as simple as possible. Horizontal rules should be indicated, vertical rules avoided. Tables should be numbered and titled above, figures and illustrations below.

    Other

    Page design will be handled by the publisher. Text should be justified, no indenting should be used. Please confine yourself to only elementary text-formatting: only bold-, underline-, italic-, sub- and superscript- and strikeout-facilities of MS Word should be used. EJTIR allows limited use of bullet-type listings.

    Acknowledgments

    These should follow the main text and precede the references.

    References

    The Harvard system is to be used; author's names (no initials) an dates (and specific pages, only in the case of quotations) are given in the main body of the text, e.g. (Thomson, 1988, p. 29). References are listed alphabetically at the end of the paper, double spaced, and conform to current journal style:

    Journals: Button, K. (1992). Transport regulation and the environment in low income countries. Utilities Policy, 2(3), 248-257.

    Books: Hass-Klau, C. (1990). The Pedestrian and City Traffic. Belhaven Press, London.

    Chapters of edited books : Allsop, R.E. (1974). Some possibilities for using traffic control to influence trip distribution and mode choice. In Buckley, D.J. (ed) Transportation and Traffic Theory, Reed, Sydney.

    Other publications: Where there is doubt include all bibliographical details.

    Appendices

    Although the use of appendices is not encouraged, they might be applied to present text that is necessary for completeness of the main text, but would disturb the reading of it when placed directly in the main text, such as mathematical proofs or lengthy mathematical derivations. Appendices should be placed at the very end of the manuscript.

    Before publication, an electronic proof of the manuscript will be sent to the corresponding author. It is important that this proof is checked carefully and returned them to the publisher within one week. At this stage, only typographical errors may still be corrected; rewriting of the text is not permitted.
