Abstract
We have several announcements to make in this issue. First, Mary Holcomb, Co-Editor-in-Chief of Transportation Journal, has finished her term and will be stepping down soon. Mary served as the Industry Note Editor for three years prior to being appointed as the co-editor of the journal. We very much appreciate her long-time service commitment to this journal. She has made a number of improvements for the journal. During her time as co-editor, the journal’s statistics, including paper submissions and impact factor, have improved considerably. She has done a great job for the journal, and she will be missed by all of the editorial team members. We wish her the best for the next chapter of her career. Second, David Swanson, a faculty member at University of North Florida, will be joining the journal’s editorial team as the new Co-Editorin-Chief, replacing Mary. David is a well-known transportation scholar, and we are delighted to have him join the board. He will be working closely with Mary for the next few months. Third, Carrie Ann Johnson, Assistant Editor of Transportation Journal, will be finishing her two-year term and will be stepping down soon. Carrie Ann has done a great job of assisting the editors for handling papers. After completing her term, she will be concentrating on her Ph.D. program at Iowa State University to finish her degree. We thank Carrie Ann for her help during the last two years, and we wish her the best for her future career. Fourth, Michael Belding, a Ph.D. student in history at Iowa State University, will be joining the editorial team as the new Assistant Editor. Michael will be working closely with Carrie Ann over the next few months to ensure a seamless transition. Michael is expected to serve in this role until summer of 2021. We welcome Michael to the editorial team. Fifth, it is time again to report the acceptance rate of the journal for the calendar year 2018. Our method of calculating the acceptance rate is to simply divide the total number of articles published in the year (2018) by the total number of papers submitted during the year (2018). Submissions of revisions are not counted as separate submissions to produce conservative acceptance rates. Using this method, the acceptance rate of research papers for 2018 was computed as 18.6%, or equivalently, rejection rate of 81.4%. In the past two years, the acceptance rates were 13.2% (2016) and 13.6% (2017), so the journal’s acceptance rate seems to have increased slightly. This is mainly due to the fact that we published a larger number of articles in 2018
这一期我们有几条公告要发布。首先,《交通杂志》(Transportation Journal)联合主编玛丽·霍尔科姆(Mary Holcomb)已经结束任期,即将卸任。在被任命为该杂志的联合编辑之前,玛丽担任了三年的行业注释编辑。我们非常感谢她对本刊的长期服务承诺。她为这本杂志做了许多改进。在她担任联合编辑期间,该杂志的统计数据,包括论文提交和影响因子,有了很大的改善。她为杂志做出了巨大的贡献,所有的编辑团队成员都将怀念她。我们祝愿她在职业生涯的下一个篇章中取得最好的成绩。其次,北佛罗里达大学(University of North Florida)教员戴维•斯旺森(David Swanson)将取代玛丽,加入该杂志的编辑团队,成为新的联合总编辑。David是一位著名的交通学者,我们很高兴他能加入董事会。在接下来的几个月里,他将与玛丽密切合作。第三,《交通杂志》的助理编辑嘉莉·安·约翰逊即将结束她的两年任期,并将很快卸任。嘉莉·安在协助编辑处理稿件方面做得很好。学期结束后,她将专注于爱荷华州立大学的博士课程,以完成她的学位。我们感谢Carrie Ann在过去两年中对我们的帮助,并祝她未来的事业顺利。第四,爱荷华州立大学(Iowa State University)历史学博士生迈克尔·贝尔丁(Michael Belding)将加入编辑团队,担任新的助理编辑。在接下来的几个月里,迈克尔将与嘉莉·安密切合作,以确保无缝过渡。迈克尔预计将担任该职位至2021年夏天。我们欢迎Michael加入我们的编辑团队。第五,是时候再次报告2018日历年期刊的接受率了。我们计算录用率的方法是简单地用该年(2018年)发表的文章总数除以该年(2018年)提交的论文总数。为了产生保守的接受率,提交的修订不被视为单独的提交。采用该方法计算2018年科研论文的被接受率为18.6%,即被拒率为81.4%。近两年的接受率分别为13.2%(2016年)和13.6%(2017年),因此该期刊的接受率似乎略有上升。这主要是由于我们在2018年发表了更多的文章
