Aims and scope
1. Theoretical, empirical and policy analyses on management, operation and performance in logistics and supply-chain management.
2. Environmental and social / equity impacts on freight and passenger transport and implications of movement on cost and movement, capacity, demand, pricing, externalities.
3. Efficiency of freight and passenger transport.
4. Impact of driving forces (i.e. transport volume, modal split, technology, efficiency), on freight and passenger transport, its social, economic, environmental and ecologic impacts on society.
5. Impacts of policy instruments (e.g. prices, regulations, infrastructure policy) on these driving forces, the efficiency of transport and its impact on society.
The journal has updated the name in 2021 to Logistics, Supply Chain, Sustainability and Global Challenges as this better reflects the development of the research field, encompassing supply chain, sustainability and global challenges, which are of utmost importance for logistics. From the field and content perspectives the updated journal title is broader that the previous title (Logistics & Sustainable Transport) focusing on the transportation and logistics only.
