Overview

Top Research Topics at Journal of Transport and Land Use?

The main research concerns discussed in the journal are Transport engineering, Land use, Travel behavior, Public transport and Built environment. It connects research in Transport engineering with the related topic of Destinations. The majority of Land use studies are focused on the issues of Land-use planning.

The research on Travel behavior tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Mode choice, Mode (statistics), Demographic economics, Econometrics and Advertising. The study on Built environment presented in Journal of Transport and Land Use intersects with the topics under Urban design.

  • Transport engineering (37.08%)
  • Land use (34.83%)
  • Travel behavior (23.15%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Explaining walking distance to public transport: The dominance of public transport supply (177 citations)
  • Linking urban transport and land use in developing countries (176 citations)
  • Cities as Organisms: Allometric Scaling of Urban Road Networks (151 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Journal of Transport and Land Use:

The journal articles facilitate discussions on Transport engineering, Travel behavior, Land use, Land-use planning and Public transport. While Transport engineering is the focus of the most cited articles, it also provides insights into the studies of Sample (statistics), Human factors and ergonomics and Urban area. The journal articles facilitate discussions on Land use that incorporate concepts from other fields like Economic growth, Urban planning, Built environment, Real estate development and Environmental economics.

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

  • Law
  • Statistics
  • China

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Journal of Transport and Land Use is organized to address concerns in the fields of Land use, Public transport, Transport engineering, Travel behavior and Mode (statistics). Land use research featured in Journal of Transport and Land Use incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Econometrics, Regional science, Socioeconomic status, Zoning and Process (engineering). While Public transport is the focus of the journal, it also provided insights into the studies of Independence, Market segmentation and Demographic economics.

The journal tackles research in Microsimulation, Trip generation and Transportation planning as part of the general discipline of Transport engineering, however, it also discusses concepts in Service (systems architecture). The study of Mode choice and how it intertwines with concepts under Rural area and Sustainable transport were explored in the presented Travel behavior research. The studies in Mode (statistics) featured incorporate elements of Transport economics, Preference (economics) and Built environment.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Understanding jobs-housing imbalance in urban China: A case study of Shanghai (3 citations)
  • The role of perceived satisfaction and the built environment on the frequency of cycle-commuting (3 citations)
  • Infrastructure is not enough: interactions between the environment, socioeconomic disadvantage and cycling participation in England (2 citations)

Papers citation over time

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, 15.38% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 11.36% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 18.18% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 27.27% of all publications and 43.18% 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.
