Transport Reviews

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, and it can use case study material from experience at the international, country or city levels. The conclusions should relate to the review
elements of the paper and not the case study;
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;
