Our policy is to provide refereeing and publication decisions within three months of receipt of
manuscript. Some papers may take more time, but we are strictly committed to editorial times.
JTL-RELIT considers submissions of papers previously presented in conferences, symposia
and seminars. The journal strongly encourages authors to present their research in many
research forums and improve their papers according to comments received before submission.
The journal contains two sections: Research Directory and Reviews & Essays
Research Directory
The purpose of the Research Directory Section is to present the transportation community
with original, high-quality research. Papers published in this Section contain the latest
outstanding developments in the field and innovative contributions to the study of the
problems of emerging transportation markets.
Reviews & Essays
The purpose of the Essays & Surveys Section is to help transportation researchers and
practitioners keep abreast of research in the field. To this end, the journal publishes extended
survey articles and essays, and book reviews. Papers published in this section must be
formatted as a self-contained article, providing the reader with a broader view of the covered
area of subject (extended survey), instead of simply reviewing an article or book. Essays with
less innovative but interesting papers are also published in this section.
