TRANSPORTATION RESEARCH PART E-LOGISTICS AND TRANSPORTATION REVIEW

I submitted once and got the rejection letter the next day. The letter is as follows: Thank you for choosing Transportation Research as a channel for publishing your manuscript. After reading the paper, I agree that the topic of the paper is interesting and impressive. However, I still have two main questions. First, the paper, including its subject matter and content, may not be suitable for the journal’s aim and scope. The evidence I have supporting this is that, no relevant TRE references have been cited for discussion to show that this paper will be of interest to most TRE readers. Second, the research content of the paper may not meet the publication standards. TRE prefers a paper that can clearly demonstrate its incremental contribution to the field of transportation and logistics. Relevant literature should be cited to clarify the following: (1) the importance of solving this problem and the method for solving the problem, (2) the novelty and unique characteristics of the proposed method relative to published methods or models, and (3) important findings and management insights from analyzing the results. Unfortunately, I didn’t find sufficient rationales and discussion to clarify the issue. Specifically, this paper seems to be application-oriented, while the methodological innovation over published models appears to be weak.

transportation research series is almost the authority of their respective transportation fields.The part e impact factor has been increasing year after year, and the level of the article has been greatly improved compared with previous years.The hit rate is not so low, but it can't reach 50%. I feel that 30% is not much.
