Initial Submission

Manuscript Submission Guidelines

The JSDTL values the efforts made by authors to prepare their manuscripts for publication and accepts articles in any format.

The only requirements for the text are as follows:

1. It is required that articles be blinded, meaning that they should not include information about the authors, their affiliations, or any disclosures/conflicts of interest.
2. Abstracts are necessary for certain article types and must be provided accordingly. Please see below to determine if your article requires an abstract.
3. It is important that the word count of your article falls within the prescribed limits, which will be provided below. Please note that the word count should not include the abstract, references, tables, or figure legends.
4. References only in APA style.

If submitting a new version of a previously rejected paper, authors should include the original article number and a detailed explanation in the cover letter.

Correspondence

Correspondence regarding the manuscript will be directed to the author who submits it, who will serve as the contact author throughout the entire publishing process. At the time of submission, the corresponding author must verify that all authors meet the authorship criteria and have reviewed and approved the manuscript. After the final revision of the manuscript has been accepted, the senior author must sign a Publication Agreement (refer to "Copyright").

Manuscripts

The JSDTL only considers manuscripts that meet certain criteria, including not having assigned copyright elsewhere, not being duplicates of previously published material, and not being under simultaneous consideration for publication elsewhere. Manuscripts based on preprint servers are accepted. If the manuscript is based on or cites an article that is in press, a copy of that article must be included.

Abstracts should be limited to 250 words, stating the research question, methods used, results, and conclusions for original articles. For opinion pieces, a summary of the arguments should be included.

Citations, figures, and tables should not be included in the abstract, but study year(s), location, and population should be included if applicable.

Lengthy tables should be avoided.

The editorial board may request that authors shorten their papers further.

Authorship

The International Committee for Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) has established criteria to determine authorship credit, which includes making substantial contributions to the conception, design, data acquisition, analysis, and interpretation of data, drafting or critically revising the article, and giving final approval of the version to be published. All authors must meet these conditions, and each author must confirm their participation in the work and take public responsibility for its content. The names of authors and their contributions should be listed in OJS Submission System and detailed in the cover letter, but should not appear in the blinded manuscript. When responding to invited commentaries or letter replies, the lead authors are responsible for contacting all authors of the original paper to confirm their interest in being included in the reply.

Authorship and AI Tools (2023)

The Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) has released a new position statement regarding the use of AI tools, including ChatGPT, in authorship of academic papers. The statement asserts that AI tools should not be considered as authors of a paper, as they cannot take responsibility for the content submitted, and their usage must be fully disclosed to ensure transparency.

COPE Position Statement (2023) - (https://publicationethics.org/cope-position-statements/ai-author)

"AI tools cannot meet the requirements for authorship as they cannot take responsibility for the submitted work. As non-legal entities, they cannot assert the presence or absence of conflicts of interest nor manage copyright and license agreements.

Authors who use AI tools in the writing of a manuscript, production of images or graphical elements of the paper, or in the collection and analysis of data, must be transparent in disclosing in the Materials and Methods (or similar section) of the paper how the AI tool was used and which tool was used. Authors are fully responsible for the content of their manuscript, even those parts produced by an AI tool, and are thus liable for any breach of publication ethics."

COPE | Artificial Intelligence in the News (2023)

https://publicationethics.org/news/artificial-intelligence-news

Conflicts of Interest

Journal of Sustainable Development of Transport and Logistics requires all authors, editors, members and reviewers to disclose any conflicts of interest that may be inherent in the submissions. Financial relationships, personal relationships, academic relationship, intellectual passion, etc., are usually considered to be the most important conflicts of interest. Such arrangements must be disclosed where there is any risk of a perception of compromise. The policy of the journal is that the judgment or decision taken on the submitted manuscript should not be compromised or affected by any conflict of interest. The corresponding author must ensure that all authors have been asked to disclose any conflict of interest. Reviewers must disqualify themselves from reviewing the specific manuscript if they believe that they are involved in any conflict of interest. If a potential bias exists, editors and editorial staff should withdraw themselves from handling the paper.

When a conflict of interest is disclosed either by the author or editor, a footnote describing the conflict must be included with the published article. All sources of funding must be disclosed at the end of the main text under a separate heading ‘Funding’. Authors, referees, or editors who have deliberately or recklessly failed to disclose conflicts of interest may receive sanctions, including being banned from publishing in the Journal of Sustainable Development of Transport and Logistics for a period of time.

Editors, authors, and peer reviewers have a responsibility to disclose interests that might appear to affect their ability to present or review data objectively. These include relevant financial (for example, patent ownership, stock ownership, consultancies, speaker's fees), personal, political, intellectual, or religious interests. The editors of JSDTL require statements about conflicts of interest from authors. Editors should explain that these statements should provide information about financial (for example, patent ownership, stock ownership, consultancies, speaker's fees), personal, political, intellectual, or religious interests relevant to the area of research or discussion.

Crossref Funding Data Registry

The Crossref Funding Data Registry is a database that provides information about research funding sources. When submitting a manuscript, authors are encouraged to include information about the funding sources that supported their research in the manuscript metadata. This information is then made available through the Crossref Funding Data Registry, which aims to increase transparency and facilitate the discovery of research funding sources.

Multipart Papers

The JSDTL has a strong policy discouraging the submission of multipart papers. In case such papers are submitted, they should be structured in a way that allows different parts to be assigned to different editorial board members and outside expert reviewers for evaluation.

Language Editing

Submitted papers should be written in good English. Authors may use SciView's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions. If you use an alternative service that provides a confirmation certificate, please send a copy to the Editorial Office. Authors from economically developing countries or nations should consider registration with AuthorAid (https://www.authoraid.info/en/). AuthorAid is a free pioneering global network that provides support, mentoring, resources, and training for researchers in low and middle-income countries (https://www.authoraid.info/en/about/).

If English is not your first language, you have the option to have your manuscript language-edited to ensure that its academic content is fully understandable by journal editors and reviewers. Please note that language editing is not a guarantee of acceptance for publication.

Writing in English (Springer Nature Resources) - https://t.ly/7Dw0

Revisions

When you receive feedback from the reviewers and editors, you may need to revise your manuscript to address their comments and concerns. You should carefully review the feedback and make the necessary revisions to improve the clarity, accuracy, and quality of your paper. Once you have made the revisions, you should resubmit your manuscript along with a detailed cover letter explaining the changes you made in response to the feedback. The reviewers and editors will evaluate your revisions and determine if your manuscript is now suitable for publication in the JSDTL.

Acceptance

After the editor(s) handling your paper have reviewed it and determined that it is suitable for publication in the JSDTL, it will be moved to the "accept with technical review" phase. At this stage, the editorial office will provide you with a customized list of changes that must be made to the text, tables, figures before the paper can be finally accepted. Although the paper is not yet published, you may consider it "in production" for citation purposes.

Text Guidelines

Use the APA Style, 6th Edition, as a reference guide.

Ensure you use American English spelling and follow either Webster's Third New International Dictionary or Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, 11th Edition, for spelling and word division.

Template

Title of the Paper

The title of a research paper should effectively capture the purpose, scope, and methods used in the study while also drawing the reader's attention to the research problem.

A working title should be developed early in the research process and used to anchor the focus of the study.

The final title should accurately indicate the subject and scope of the study, use positive language to stimulate reader interest, avoid abbreviations, and use current nomenclature from the field of study.

The title should also identify key variables, be limited to 10-15 substantive words, and avoid constructions such as "study of" or "analysis of."

Subtitles may be used to explain additional context, add substance to a title, qualify the geographic or temporal scope of the research, or focus on investigating the ideas or work of a particular individual.

Title and Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

To improve the visibility of your article and its search engine ranking, there are several uncomplicated techniques that you can apply.

For instance, incorporate a few relevant keywords from your article in the title. However, avoid lengthy titles. To enhance the article's optimization, choose 5-8 keywords that combine generic and specific terms relevant to the topic. It is also advisable to use as many of the selected keywords as possible in the first two sentences of the abstract. Additionally, use some of the keywords in the level 1 headings. These techniques will aid in maximizing your article's discoverability and search engine rankings.

Code of Ethics

The Code of Ethics is a set of guidelines that researchers and authors must follow when submitting articles to academic journals. The purpose of the code is to ensure that articles are produced in a way that is ethical, honest, and transparent. The code covers a range of topics, including authorship, plagiarism, data manipulation, and conflicts of interest. It is important that researchers and authors adhere to these guidelines to ensure the integrity and quality of academic research.

The purpose of a code of ethics is to provide a framework for responsible and ethical behavior in academic publishing. This includes issues related to authorship, plagiarism, data falsification, conflicts of interest, and ethical considerations in human and animal research.

Authorship is a particularly important issue in academic publishing. A code of ethics typically outlines the criteria for authorship, which include making substantial contributions to the research, participating in the writing of the manuscript, and approving the final version of the manuscript. The code of ethics also typically requires that all authors disclose any conflicts of interest that could potentially influence their research or the publication of their findings.

Plagiarism and data falsification are also serious ethical concerns in academic publishing. A code of ethics typically requires authors to cite their sources appropriately and to ensure that their research is based on accurate and reliable data. Editors and reviewers are also expected to identify and report any instances of plagiarism or data falsification.

In addition, a code of ethics may address ethical considerations related to human and animal research. This may include issues related to informed consent, confidentiality, and the use of animals in research.

Ethical considerations related to human and animal research are crucial to ensure that research is conducted in a responsible and humane manner. For human research, the ethical principles of autonomy, beneficence, and justice must be followed. This means that individuals must have the right to make their own decisions about participating in research, that the research must be designed to maximize benefits and minimize harm to participants, and that research must be conducted fairly and equitably.

Human research must also obtain informed consent from participants, which means that they are fully informed about the study and have given their voluntary agreement to participate. Privacy and confidentiality must also be maintained, and research must be reviewed and approved by an institutional review board (IRB) or ethics committee.

For animal research, ethical considerations include the principles of replacement, reduction, and refinement. This means that alternative methods to animal research should be used wherever possible, the number of animals used should be minimized, and procedures should be designed to minimize pain and distress.

Animal research must also follow strict guidelines and regulations, such as the Animal Welfare Act and the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals. Animal research must be reviewed and approved by an institutional animal care and use committee (IACUC) before it can be conducted.
