  • Transportation Research Part A: Policy and Practice

    • ISSN: 0965-8564
    Transportation Research: Part A considers papers dealing with policy analysis (design, formulation and evaluation); planning; interaction with the political, socioeconomic and physical environments; and management and evaluation of transport systems. Topics may be approached from any discipline or perspective: economics, engineering, psychology, sociology, urbanism, etc., but must have a clear policy concern or be of interest for practice, and must be based on solid research and good quality data. 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. Part E: Logistics and Transportation Review. Part F: Traffic Psychology and Behaviour. The complete set forms the most cohesive and comprehensive reference of current research in transportation science.

  • Journal of Historical Geography

    • ISSN: 0305-7488
    As the benchmark sub-disciplinary quarterly, the Journal of Historical Geography publishes articles on all aspects of historical geography and cognate fields in the social sciences, arts, and humanities. As well as hosting original research papers and special issues of interest to a wide international and interdisciplinary readership, the journal encourages agenda-setting interventions into methodological and conceptual debates and new challenges facing researchers in the field. Each issue includes a substantial review section (of books, exhibitions, databases, and others), and there is a regular feature on 'Historical Geography at Large' devoted to engaged research, and its impact, beyond the academy. The journal is especially keen to expand its scholarship into those regions and academic communities beyond anglophone Europe and North America which have traditionally been underrepresented in the journal. We offer extra editorial support to students, early career researchers, underrepresented researchers, and those for whom English is not their first language: please contact [email protected]... commonly addressed in the journal include:How to describe, represent, and reconstruct past geographies (spaces, places, landscapes, environments, mobilities and networks)?How is the presentness of the past produced through landscapes, texts, memories and archives? How can we recognise diverse spatial and temporal imaginaries (for instance, ancestral, spiritual, religious, or environmental)? What has been the reach and influence of different models and institutional hubs of historical geography? How can the theories and methods used to study historical geography be applied to geography's disciplinary histories?
  • Technology in Society

    • ISSN: 0160-791X
    Technology in Society is an international journal devoted to the global discourse on the dynamics of technological change and the intersection of social, economic, business, digital and post digital transformations shaping the world around us. The journal aims to publish high-quality research that advances understanding of how emerging and established technologies influence socio-cultural structures, economic systems, governance frameworks, organizational practices, and managers to engage thoughtfully and intentionally in decisions that shape these dynamics A common thread across the journal’s focus areas is comparative international research on the role of technology in society and its impact on economic, social, entrepreneurial, management, and innovation processes.The journal welcomes research employing quantitative, mixed-methods, and theoretical approaches to science and technology, technology forecasting, economic growth, government policy, and ethics. It also includes applied perspectives such as business innovation, international management, technology management, engineering as well as development-oriented approaches including technology transfer, technology assessment, and economic leapfrogging. Additional information on the journal's aims and scope for specific topics can be found in our Special Issues and Article Collections.
  • Research in Transportation Economics

  • Transportation Research Part C: Emerging Technologies

    • ISSN: 0968-090X
    The focus of Transportation Research: Part C (TR_C) is high-quality, scholarly research that addresses development, applications, and implications, in the field of transportation systems and emerging technologies . The interest is not in the individual technologies per se, but in their ultimate implications for the planning, design, operation, control, maintenance and rehabilitation of transportation systems, services and components. In other words, the intellectual core of the journal is on the transportation side, not on the technology side. The integration of quantitative methods from fields such as operations research, control systems, complex networks, computer science, artificial intelligence are encouraged.Of particular interest are the impacts of emerging technologies on transportation system performance, in terms of monitoring, efficiency, safety, reliability, resource consumption and the environment. Submissions in the following areas of transportation are welcome: multimodal and intermodal transportation; on-demand transport; intelligent transportation systems; traffic and demand management; real-time operations; connected and autonomous vehicles; logistics; railways; resource and infrastructure management; aviation; pedestrians and soft modes.Special emphasis is given in open science initiatives and promoting the opening of large-scale datasets for papers published in TR_C that can support transferability and benchmarking of different approaches. The realization of data opportunities that arise from emerging technologies and new sensors in transportation can revolutionize how this data reshape our understanding of congestion mechanisms and can contribute in efficient and sustainable mobility management.
