International Journal of Logistics Research and Applications

Aims & Scope

International Journal of Logistics: Research & Applications publishes original and challenging work that has a clear applicability to the business world.

As a result, the journal concentrates on papers of an academic journal standard but aimed at the practitioner as much as the academic.

High quality contributions are therefore welcomed from both academics and professionals working in the field of logistics and supply chain management.

Papers should further our understanding of logistics and supply chain management and make a significant original contribution to knowledge.

In this context the term ’logistics’ is taken in its broadest context as "the management of processes, flow of materials and associated information along the entire supply chain, from raw materials through to the final user of the product".
