A Journal of the World Conference on Transport Research SocietyTransport policy is a multidisciplinary field where engineering, economics, sociology and law must come together in well-articulated and effective solutions. Despite being a field of effective intervention, most scientific publications address transport policy with a theoretical and often abstract approach, making its understanding difficult for non-senior academics and even more opaque for practitioners. While the merits of case study methods both for undergraduate and graduate teaching are recognised, academics struggle to find empirical material that provides objective and operational illustration of the theories and approaches lectured. This is a major barrier not only in the teaching context but also for practitioners.Case Studies on Transport Policy covers this gap by providing a repository of relevant material to support teaching and transferability of experiences. Observation of field experience highlighting the details and drawbacks of implementation is invaluable to show how Transport Policy can be applied in the operational field, maintaining consistency with strategic options. Teaching with case studies introduces students to challenges they may face in the real world, and provides a very rich learning method for executive training at every institutional level. For practitioners, and specially governments, case studies are a powerful tool to show the potential benefits from policy measures and packages.Case Studies on Transport Policy and its sister journal Transport Policy provide a valuable reference for the specialised study of transport policy offering in-depth theoretical analysis and detailed case study description and analysis, and in this way providing very complete material for decision makers planners and practitioners to undertake transferability of experiences.
Cleaner Logistics and Supply Chain (CLSCN) is an international, transdisciplinary companion journal to the Journal of Cleaner Production focusing on the domain of green, sustainable, and circular logistics and supply chain management. CLSCN serves as a platform for addressing and discussing how each paper contributes to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and to a zero-carbon society within the domain of cleaner logistics and supply chain management. High quality contributions are welcome from both academics and professionals working in the field of logistics and supply chain management.Methodologically, CLSCN covers the full range of empirical, conceptual, modeling, quantitative, and qualitative research studies. All empirical studies should contribute to theory. Application of technologies to achieve sustainability is within the journal's scope, but technology development alone are not research papers suitable for CLSCN.CLSCN articles can include original research, short communications and technical notes, covering all aspects of logistics and supply chain management in general or to a specific industry. Topics can include, but are not limited to, the following:Green, sustainable, and/or circular operations, logistics and supply chainsSustainable and circular business model innovation for logistics and supply chainsGreen, sustainable, and/or circular procurement and supply managementGreen, sustainable, and/or circular manufacturing and supply chainsGreen, sustainable, and circular performance measurement, indicators, and performance managementSustainability in reverse and closed-loop supply chainsSupply chain sustainability in a globalized economySupply chain sustainability in emerging economies and at the bottom of the pyramid (BoP)Industry 4.0 applications to promote CLSCNDigitalization for green or sustainable logistics and supply chainsSupply chain sustainability and risk managementResilient and robust CLSCN planning and response to emergencies, disasters or pandemicsGreen and sustainable freight transportation and warehouse managementGreen and sustainable routing and schedulingPlanning and decision-making for logistics and supply chain sustainabilityCorporate social responsibility in logistics and supply chainsGreen, Sustainable and/or circular operations in urban settings and planningInteractions between multiple stakeholders for CLSCN topicsGovernment, regulatory, inter-governmental and non-governmental relationships to CLSCN topicsAgility, Flexibility, and CLSCN topicsPolicy and sociological behavioral concerns for CLSCN topicsWe encourage those interested in organizing a special issue or a virtual special issue within the scope of the journal to fill out this form and contact the editors-in-chief for more information.

The APC for papers published from 2022 to 2025 will be fully covered by Southeast University. Please contact the editor via [email protected] to get the waiver or discount.MULTRA provides a forum for high-quality, cutting-edge research in transportation science and technology. MULTRA covers all modes - road, rail, air, maritime - and the integration of multimodal transport. Papers concerning multimodal integration or emerging transportation technologies are particularly welcome, as is work focusing on Intelligent Transportation Systems, Smart Transportation, or Big Data, as applied to transport planning, network modeling or traffic safety. MULTRA is an interdisciplinary journal and embraces work from a wide range of disciplines, including, but not limited to, transportation, logistics, economics, operations research, and urban planning.MULTRA publishes papers in two categories:Theory and Methodology: Papers in this category employ mathematical modeling, optimization theory, etc., to develop new concepts and technologies, rather than the refinement of established theories.Empirical Research: Papers in this category can either employ quantitative techniques from statistics, AI, machine learning etc., or qualitative research methods such as one-on-one interviews, focus groups, case study research etc., to obtain new insights into specific aspects of transportation science.Regardless of the category, MULTRA papers are expected to clearly articulate their expected impact on the practice of transportation science.
