About the journal

Aims and scope of journal
Reflecting changes in the research agenda, as of Volume 5 (2003), International Journal of Maritime Economics was re-titled Maritime Economics & Logistics (MEL).
The global economy relies heavily on maritime transport. In the European Union, 90% of the trade with third countries and 30% of intra-European trade takes place by sea. This requires efficient shipping and port sectors, as well as attractive intermodal transport solutions promoting trade and contributing to sustainable mobility of goods and passengers.
Research in maritime economics is changing, most noticeably from the rather narrow 'modal' approach of the past to one focusing on the optimisation of global supply networks. With such a perspective, ports, particularly container terminals, become crucial nodes in complex transport networks, while ocean carriers are being transformed into logistics service providers through vertical integration and investments in information technology.
The mission of MEL is to map the forefront of this research and thus promote maritime economics and logistics as a distinct and well-defined branch of both applied economics and international business.
All contributions to the main section of MEL are subject to strict peer-review. They are thoroughly researched, scientifically rigorous and, at the same time, of direct applicability and usefulness to practitioners and policy-makers alike. Often, MEL includes a special section under the heading 'Policy Perspectives'. Papers here, often solicited ones, emphasise strategic policy implications rather than scientific rigour in a strict sense. Papers in Policy Perspectives are not subject to peer review; this results in speedier publication. Papers submitted to MEL are submitted for both sections at the discretion of the Editors. Authors not wishing to have their papers considered by Policy Perspectives should state this in their cover letter.
Areas of interest to MEL include:
- shipping and trade liberalisation
- maritime logistics; decision-support systems in shipping
- freight and commodity markets modelling and forecasting
- shipping investment and finance
- risk management in shipping
- multimodal transport and logistics
- trans-European transport networks
- inland waterways transport
- short sea shipping
- maritime statistics
- maritime safety and environmental protection
- port management and organisation
- port competition
- port pricing
- port privatization
- economic and environmental impact assessment in shipping and portsTopof pag

Instructions to Authors
Note
Authors are advised that adherence to the instructions to authors will help speed up the refereeing and production stages for most papers. Topof page
Submission
Manuscripts should be sent by email to the Editor-in-Chief at haralambides@ese.eur.nl:
- Editor-in-Chief: HE Haralambides
Professor of Maritime Economics and Logistics Erasmus School of Economics Erasmus University Rotterdam Burg. Oudlaan 50 3062 PA Rotterdam THE NETHERLANDS E-mail: haralambides@ese.eur.nl
Manuscripts can only be accepted in MS Word format.
The corresponding author's name, affiliation, full address (including telephone and fax numbers, and e-mail address) and any other contact particulars should only appear in the cover letter.
Submission of a paper for refereeing means that the author certifies that the manuscript has not been accepted for publication by another journal, nor is it being refereed elsewhere at the same time.
Authors (and where applicable co-authors) are requested, together with their typescript and cover letter, to send a brief bio including their most recent publications in the area under consideration.
Authors should detail any commercial interests they might have in the subject matter of their article. Maritime Economics and Logistics will not publish articles whose argumentation and or modelling is based on privy, commercially sensitive, or otherwise confidential information. Prior to submission, therefore, authors are advised to seek publication permission from the respective information or data sources. Topof page
Open Access & Self Archiving
Authors of accepted papers can opt to pay an Article Processing Charge of £1600 / $2600 (+VAT where applicable) for their articles to be made Open Access online immediately upon publication. By paying this charge authors are also permitted to post the final, published PDF of their article on a website, institutional repository or other free public server, immediately on publication.
Please see our FAQs for further details or download our license to publish form.
Palgrave Macmillan's publishing policies ensure that authors can fully comply with the public access requirements of many major funding bodies worldwide - please visit www.sherpa.ac.uk for more information. However, it is the author's responsibility to take the necessary actions to achieve compliance. These may include self archiving, opting into Palgrave Macmillan's manuscript deposition service and/or choosing Open Access publication.
Authors of accepted articles are encouraged to submit the author's version of the accepted paper (the unedited manuscript) to their funding body's archive, for public release 18 months after publication of the final article in a full paginated journal issue. In addition, authors are encouraged to archive this version of the manuscript in their institution's repositories and on their personal websites, also 18 months after the original publication. This is in line with Palgrave Macmillan's self-archiving policy. Topof page
Ethics Policy
This journal is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics. We expect all prospective authors to read and understand our Ethics Policybefore submitting any manuscript to this journal. This policy details the responsibilities of all authors, editors and reviewers working with and for Palgrave Macmillan Journals as well as our own ethical responsibilities. This includes, but is not limited to, plagiarism, falsification of data, misuse of third party material, fabrication of results and fraudulent authorship. Please note that submitted manuscripts may be subject to checks using the iThenticate service, in conjunction with CrossCheck, in order to detect instances of overlapping and similar text. TheiThenticate software checks submissions against millions of published research papers, documents on the web, and other relevant sources. If plagiarism or misconduct is found, consequences are detailed in the policy. Topof page
Electronic submission
Papers can also be submitted by electronic mail. To maintain the integrity of the double-blind refereeing process, two separate files must be submitted:
Cover letter
The cover letter must contain: (i) the title of the paper as well as a statement indicating that the paper is not currently being considered by another journal; (ii) complete information on the corresponding author (address and other contact particulars); (iii) acknowledgements and headnotes as well as information on possible co-authors.
The main body
The editorial office can receive files only in MS-Word (*.doc) format. An electronic acknowledgement is sent when the paper has been safely retrieved. Topof page
Manuscript style
Submissions should be in English, typed in double spacing with wide margins (including notes and references) on one side of A4 paper and numbered consecutively. Only the title of the paper should appear on the first page of the manuscript. All authors should obtain assistance, if necessary, in the editing of their papers for correct spelling and use of English grammar.
Articles should normally not exceed 8000 words, be written clearly and concisely, and avoid unnecessary jargon. Articles must be preceded by an abstract of not more than 200 words, and six keywords suitable for indexing and online search purposes. The abstract should set out clearly the issues to be investigated (i.e. why the paper is written), the methodology used, and the main conclusions(s). Preferably the abstract should be written in non-technical language.
It is essential that the article concludes with a section where the author(s) summarise their main conclusions, possible need for further research, as well as the potential impact of the article on business, government or policy-making. To the extent possible, this section should be written in a way that is broadly understandable to the non-specialist.
IMPORTANT: authors are expected to be aware of, and make reference to, relevant works published earlier in the Journal. Abstracts of earlier works appear in the website of MEL.
Figures which contain only textual rather than diagrammatic information should be designated as tables. Figures and tables should be numbered separately and consecutively, and presented on separate sheets. Their position in the text should be indicated in the manuscript. All figures and tables should have a caption.
Authors are requested to follow our instructions on how to prepare and submit their figures, for more information see www.palgrave-journals.com/pal/palgrave_artwork_guidelines.pdf.
A running head of not more that 30 characters should be supplied for papers with longer titles.
Sections and subsections should be clearly differentiated but should NOT be numbered.
Papers must be written without the use of footnotes. Endnotes should be limited to the absolute minimum as they can be disruptive to the natural flow of the argument.
Mathematical expressions and Greek or other symbols should be written clearly with ample spacing. Any unusual characters should be indicated on a separate sheet.
Please use UK English spelling throughout. Take as a guide the new edition of the Concise Oxford English Dictionary. UK spellings will therefore prefer ‘-ize&rsquo to ‘-ise’ as a verb ending.
References in the text
The whole citation should follow the Harvard style, enclosed within parentheses (author surname, year) if not a natural part of the surrounding sentence; the year should be enclosed within parentheses if the names do form a natural part of the surrounding sentence. Citations of works by two authors should have ‘and’ (not an ampersand) between the names. Citations of works by three or more authors should have the first author followed by et al in italics with no trailing stop.
Publications by the same author(s) in the same year should be identified with a, b, c (e.g. 2008a, 2008b) closed up to the year.
Personal communications should be listed as such where they are cited in the text, and not listed in the references.
Example: Since Paterson (1983) has shown that… This is in results attained later (Kramer, 1984). Results have been reported (Don Graham, 1989, personal communication).
Articles not yet published should show ‘forthcoming’ in place of the year (in both the reference and the citation). ‘In press’ should be used in place of the volume, issue and page range details.
Example: Sharp Parker, A.M. (forthcoming) Cyberterrorism: An examination of the preparedness of the North Carolina local law enforcement.Security Journal, in press.
