Journal Information

Aims & Scope, Journal of Transportation Management

Journal of Transportation Management ceased publication with 30.1, the Summer/Fall issue, 2020, and is no longer accepting submissions.

The primary purpose of the Journal of Transportation Management was to publish managerial and policy articles that are relevant to academics, policymakers, and practitioners in the transportation, logistics and supply chain fields. Acceptable articles could include conceptual, theoretical, legal, case, and applied research that contributes to better understanding and management of transportation and logistics. Saying that, our policy requires that articles be of interest to both academics and practitioners, and that they specifically address the managerial or policy implications of the subject matter. Articles that are strictly theoretical in nature, with no direct application to the management of transportation and logistics activities, or to related policy matters, would be inappropriate for the Journal of Transportation Management. Articles related to any and all types of organizations, and of local to global scope, were considered for publication.

Acceptable topics for submission included broad logistics topics, logistics and transportation related legal issues, carrier management, shipper management of transportation functions, modal and intermodal transportation, international transportation issues, transportation safety, marketing of transportation services, transportation operations, domestic and international transportation policy, transportation economics, customer service, and the changing technology of transportation. Articles from related areas, such as third party logistics, purchasing and materials management, and supply chain management, were acceptable as long as they related to transportation and logistics activities. Submissions from practitioners, attorneys or policymakers, co-authoring with academicians, were particularly encouraged in order to increase the interaction between groups.
