Guidelines and step-by-step instructions for submitting your manuscript to the Journal of the Transportation Research Forum.
Getting Started
We welcome scholarly papers for consideration for publication in the Journal of the Transportation Research Forum. Prospective JTRF authors are asked to follow the guidelines as specified by the RETREC series of journals:
📋ISSN 0739-8859 | ScienceDirect.com by Elsevier — Full author submission guidelines
To ensure your submission is processed by the JTRF editors, authors must choose the SI: JTRF volume dropdown box for new RETREC submissions when submitting online using Evise (see step-by-step instructions below).
If you do not complete this action as instructed, your submission will not reach JTRF but instead be considered as a general RETREC submission. If the latter occurs, it is highly likely your submission will be desk rejected by the RETREC general editor since it will not be compatible with other current (special) issues of RETREC.
Step-by-Step
Go to the RETREC Editorial Manager submission portal:
If you do not yet have an account, create one. Then log in with your credentials.
Click "Continue to Evise".
Click "Start New Submission".
In the dropdown box, select "SI: JTRF volume". This is the critical step — do not skip or change this selection.
✓ Required: Select "SI: JTRF volume"Select the article type, then complete all remaining submission requirements as prompted.
You need to choose the SI: JTRF volume option on the dropdown menu(s) every time you perform an online submission or online re-submission. If you do not do this, your paper will go elsewhere within RETREC. It is very difficult to redirect the paper back under JTRF editorial control and may jeopardize the status of your paper within JTRF.
