Journal overview

Transport Reviews is an international review journal covering all aspects of transport. It provides authoritative and up to date research-based reviews of transport related topics that are informative to those that are knowledgeable in the subject area. It also provides a means by which experts from different backgrounds can find out about the subject area, so the papers should be accessible to a wide ranging readership.

Transport Reviews encourages submissions from all disciplinary perspectives (e.g. economics or engineering), all relevant subject areas (e.g. social issues or environment), and all methodological approaches (e.g. modelling, qualitative approaches or mixed-methods). The reviews normally present new methodological approaches, new analysis, innovative perspectives and original data, but are not exclusively research based.

Transport Reviews has authors from a range of backgrounds, including conventional academic authors, and those working in consultancies, local authorities, government departments and the international agencies. The geographic spread of authors is extensive.

A Review Paper “takes a comprehensive overview of a subject, bringing together the material and coming to some interesting conclusions”. There are four main elements that we are looking for:

a) The review should be authoritative, critical and add value to the literature;
b) The paper should primarily be a review, although secondary data showing general trends can be used. Primary data analyses (including data collection and data analysis) are beyond the scope of the journal. The conclusions should always relate to the review elements of the paper;
c) In all cases, the discussion must be in the context of the relevant peer-reviewed literature, and as relevant, the grey literature. More general conclusions should be drawn so that the paper is of interest to a wide range of readers;
d) The review should be interesting, readable, up to date and be written in such a way that it will provide valuable insights and encourage discussion and debate.
