Introduction of Journals Cooperating with 29th ITS World Congress

Journal of Traffic and Transportation Engineering was founded in 2001 with wide coverage of the five major transportation modes of railway, highway, aviation, water transportation and pipeline, including four secondary disciplines, namely road and railway engineering, vehicle operation engineering, transportation planning and management, traffic information engineering and control.

This journal has become a paper source of several well-known databases, such as The Engineering Index (Ei) of the United States, Scopus of Netherlands, Chinese Science Citation Database (CSCD core database), as well as Chinese Science and Technology Papers and Citation Database (CSTPCD) etc.

This journal ranks first in the field of integrated transportation in the Annual Report on Comprehensive Citation of Chinese Academic Journals (Core Edition).

Journal of Chang'an University (Natural Science Edition) is the core journal of Chinese road transportation identified by A Guide to the Core Journals of China (First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Edition). It is a paper source of several famous databases, such as Chinese Scientific and Technological Papers (Chinses Core Scientific and Technological Journal), Scopus, International Road Research Documentation Database (IRRD), Chinese Science Citation Database (CSCD). In addition, it is a core periodical reported by Chinese Road Documentation Service Center (CRDS) and selected by Chemical Abstracts (CA) (2014) of the United States, Japan Science and Technology Corporation (JST) (2018) of Japan, Russian Abstract Journal (AJ) (2014) of Russia and Chinese Science Citation Database (CSCD) (2017 -2018) (including extended version).

Journal of Highway and Transportation Research and Development (Chinese Edition)are the core journals listed by A Guide to the Core Journals of China (2020) published by Peking University; the core journal of Chinese Science and Technology Journal; the core journals of Chinese Science Citation Database (CSCD); And of Research Center for Chinese Science Evaluation of Wuhan University.

Journal of Highway and Transportation Research and Development (English version)is included in databases of American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), Science Abstracts (SA, INSPEC) and Russian Abstracts Magazine (AJ, VINITI).

Scientific Papers

The 29^th ITS World Congress is a major forum for academic and scientific excellence in the ITS profession. If you have undertaken research in the area of Intelligent Transport Systems, the World Congress International Program Committee invites you to present your findings at the event in the form of a scientific paper.

All papers will be peer-reviewed by at least one highly qualified reviewer from each of the three World Congress regions and only those who meet high scholarly standards can be accepted. Papers which are submitted as scientific ones, may still be accepted as technical papers, if the committee deems fit.

Technical Papers

Technical papers may address not only technical subjects but also political, institutional, business and economic aspects of ITS. All papers must be original and report on recent significant and substantive achievements. The paper for only commercial purposes may not be accepted. Draft technical papers should be (5) five to (10) ten pages including references and should be written in English. Technical papers will be reviewed by a peer panel that will look for quality, relevance, and significance of the findings.

General Guidelines for Papers

Authors will be required to include enough content for the reviewers to judge your paper appropriately.
A minimum of 5 pages and a maximum of 10 pages (for the final paper) will be required for Technical Papers.
Full Scientific Papers should be submitted, normally no less than 9 pages and not exceeding 12 pages, and formatted according to the Paper Template.
