What are the aims of Journal of Shipping and Trade?
Journal of Shipping and Trade (JST) is an open access publication that focuses on business & management, as well as transportation-related fields.
JST aims to promote practices in shipping and to improve the management of global trade activities. We do this by providing a vehicle to facilitate professionals, academics, researchers, and policy makers in the field to disseminate information and learn from one another’s work.
As a scholarly journal promoting shipping and trade related studies and research, JST plays a key role in establishing communication links among global shipping and trade researchers. JST also aims to contribute to current and emerging issues in shipping and trade as raised by global and regional public bodies (such as the World Bank and OECD) and major market players.
What topics does JST cover?
JST considers papers covering shipping economics, trade and economic development, transportation management, global port management, regional studies, environmental management in shipping and trade, business model development, as well as other related topics.
