International Journal of Physical Distribution and Logistics Management has its roots in moving and storing physical products. This won’t change, but they now want to align more closely with the UN SDGs.
Look for Yao J.’s LinkedIn post about the clues he looks for to detect AI usage in papers.
Ivan Russo, Andrea S. Patrucco, and Matthias Klumpp… we need to start by operationalizing some of the ideas from our paper in International Journal of Physical Distribution and Logistics Management.
The Journal of Business Logistics started with logistics, but now welcomes papers related to sourcing and operations. They want research that resonates with both academics and practitioners. Articles should be memorable and should have the potential to change how practitioners do their work. JBL wants the work to extend directly into practice, beyond the pages of the journal.
Each paper needs to be tailored to the journal you are submitting to.
The number of submissions are increasing rapidly. Desk rejections are increasing, too, in large part because of AI. There is an increase in “well-written drivel.” These papers are desk-rejected, and are altering the statistics significantly.
Common questions that editors ask when deciding whether to desk reject: - Does this paper contribute to the conversations in our journal? - Are they referencing papers from our journal? - Is it formatted according to the journals stanadard? - What is the duplication percentage? This indicates whether it is truly original work.
Transportation Journal was most influential during the deregulation of trucking in the U.S., because much of the focus is on policy impact. The goal is to create a coherent dialogue between academics, practitioners, and policy-makers.
All four journals are empirical, look at end-to-end, and are interested in sustainability.
