The main research concerns discussed in Research in Transportation Economics are Public transport, Transport engineering, Industrial organization, Competition (economics) and Finance. The research on Public transport featured in it combines topics in other fields like Public economics, Procurement, Marketing, Corporate governance and Government. It dives deep in exploring the relationship between the study of Corporate governance and Port (computer networking).
Transport engineering and Occupational safety and health are closely related fields of research discussed in the journal. Attendees of Research in Transportation Economics participated in discussions that delve into both Occupational safety and health and Human factors and ergonomics. It connects research in Human factors and ergonomics with the related topic of Injury prevention.
The study of Competition (economics), which falls within the realm of Microeconomics, was the main focus of the presentations. The work on Finance addressed in it expands to the thematically related Investment (macroeconomics).
The most cited papers primarily focus on research topics in Transport engineering, Public transport, Marketing, Port (computer networking) and Industrial organization. The journal articles focus on Transport engineering but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Sustainable transport, Service (business) and Land use. The featured Industrial organization studies in the published articles mainly concentrate on Competition (economics) but also cover areas of interest in Deregulation.
Research in Transportation Economics was organized to reinforce research efforts on Environmental economics, Public transport, TRIPS architecture, Industrial organization and Order (exchange). The studies on Environmental economics discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Carbon neutrality, Greenhouse gas, Life-cycle assessment, Government and Urban consolidation. Research in Transportation Economics emphasizes research on Public transport, which includes concerns such as Modal shift.
Some problems in Industrial organization that were presented in it overlapped with concepts under Competition (economics), Value (economics), Profitability index, Domestic market and Last mile. In addition to Order (exchange) research, the journal aims to explore topics under Mode choice and Quality (business). The Mode choice study featured falls within the larger field of Transport engineering.
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 Research in Transportation Economics (based on the number of publications) are:
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.

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.
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, 9.35% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 6.19% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 11.34% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 18.56% of all publications and 63.92% were from other institutions.
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.
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.
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:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.
