Overview

Top Research Topics at European Transport Research Review?

European Transport Research Review covers a variety of subjects, including Transport engineering, Public transport, Operations research, Order (exchange) and Simulation. The journal facilitated discussions that integrated Transport engineering and Occupational safety and health. Aside from Occupational safety and health, the journal also covered works in the field of Suicide prevention.

The main emphasis of the journal is the research on Public transport, emphasizing the topic of Mode choice.

  • Transport engineering (31.79%)
  • Public transport (10.66%)
  • Operations research (9.05%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Short-term traffic flow prediction using seasonal ARIMA model with limited input data (218 citations)
  • Super Light Car—lightweight construction thanks to a multi-material design and function integration (126 citations)
  • The vibrations induced by surface irregularities in road pavements – a Matlab ® approach (120 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at European Transport Research Review:

The published papers are organized to reinforce research efforts on Transport engineering, Environmental economics, Transportation planning, Sustainable transport and Order (exchange). While Transport engineering is the focus of the published papers, it also provides insights into the studies of Injury prevention and Human factors and ergonomics. The journal papers focus on Environmental economics but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Quality (business), Performance indicator and Public transport.

What topics the last edition of the journal is best known for?

  • Statistics
  • Artificial intelligence
  • Mechanical engineering

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

European Transport Research Review primarily focuses on research topics in Public transport, Transport engineering, TRIPS architecture, Order (exchange) and Operations research. In addition to Public transport research, European Transport Research Review aims to explore topics under Regional science, Demographic economics and Willingness to pay. The study on Transport engineering presented is investigated in conjunction with research in Bottleneck.

It focuses on TRIPS architecture but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Multivariate analysis, Mode of transport and Marketing. European Transport Research Review holds forums on Operations research that merges themes from other disciplines such as Mode (statistics), Consistency (database systems), Control (management), Port (computer networking) and Container (abstract data type). European Transport Research Review explores topics in Traffic flow which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Kilometer, Congestion pricing and Externality.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Impact of SARS-CoV-2 on the mobility behaviour in Germany (17 citations)
  • Post-COVID-19 travel behaviour patterns: impact on the willingness to pay of users of public transport and shared mobility services in Spain (16 citations)
  • The trade-off behaviours between virtual and physical activities during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic period (9 citations)

Papers citation over time

A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.

The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.

The top authors publishing in European Transport Research Review (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Cathy Macharis (9 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Dewan Md Zahurul Islam (9 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Thomas H. Zunder (8 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
  • Juha Luoma (7 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
  • Anna Anund (6 papers) absent at the last edition.

The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.

Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered

The top affiliations publishing in European Transport Research Review (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Transport Research Institute (25 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 1 more than at the previous edition,
  • German Aerospace Center (25 papers) published 5 papers at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland (18 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 5 less than at the previous edition,
  • Newcastle University (14 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
  • National Technical University of Athens (13 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition.

The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.

Publication chance based on affiliation

The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.

The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.

During the most recent 2021 edition, 5.45% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 26.92% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 11.54% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 25.00% of all publications and 36.54% were from other institutions.

Returning Authors Index

A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.

The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.

Returning Institution Index

The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.

The experience to innovation index

Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).

The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:

  • Novice - P < 5 or C < 25 (the number of publications less than 5 or the number of citations less than 25),
  • Competent - P < 10 or C < 100 (the number of publications less than 10 or the number of citations less than 100),
  • Experienced - P < 25 or C < 625 (the number of publications less than 25 or the number of citations less than 625),
  • Master - P < 50 or C < 2500 (the number of publications less than 50 or the number of citations less than 2500),
  • Star - P ≥ 50 and C ≥ 2500 (both the number of publications greater than 50 and the number of citations greater than 2500).

The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.
