2023 TSL Best Paper Award – Call for Submissions

Extended Submission Deadline: June 15, 2023

The TSL Best Paper Award is given once a year to an outstanding paper in the field of transportation science and logistics. The paper must be published in a refereed journal and present innovative approaches for solving complex problems in transportation and/or logistics, with an emphasis on operations research, analytics, and quantitative methods. An author can submit only one paper; in addition, no individual may be a co-author on more than two papers submitted to the competition.

A paper is eligible for the competition if its main topic is related to the field of transportation science and logistics, it is written in English, and it has been published or appears in pre-print form online through the publishing agency between June 1, 2020 and May 31, 2023. In the case of papers that are only available in pre-print form online at the time of consideration, the online publication date must be easily verifiable.

All topics related to the field of transportation science and logistics will be considered, including but not limited to airline operations, facility logistics, freight, maritime logistics, intelligent transportation systems, transit, urban transportation planning methods, and vehicle routing.
