Maritime Economics & Logistics

MEL是一份同行评审的季度科学出版物，致力于全球供应链的方法分析，即海洋运输、港口、海运码头和海运物流。论文将被彻底研究，科学严谨，同时对从业者和政策制定者有直接的适用性和有用性。通常，MEL在标题“政策视角”下包含一个特殊的部分。这里的论文，往往是征求意见，强调战略政策的影响，而不是严格意义上的科学严谨。从政策角度看，论文受到的同行评议较少，这导致出版速度更快。作为国际海事经济学家协会（IAME）的官方刊物，MEL始终处于海事经济学和物流前沿学术研究的前沿。

MEL is a peer-reviewed quarterly scientific publication committed to the methodological analysis of global supply chains; that is, ocean transportation, ports, marine terminals and maritime logistics. Papers are expected to be thoroughly researched, scientifically rigorous and at the same time of direct applicability and usefulness to practitioners and policy makers alike.Often, MEL includes a special section under the heading ‘Policy Perspectives’. Papers here, often solicited ones, emphasise strategic policy implications rather than scientific rigour in a strict sense. Papers in Policy Perspectives are subject to lighter peer review and this results in speedier publication.As an official journal of the International Association of Maritime Economists (IAME), MEL is always timely at the forefront of cutting edge academic research on maritime economics and logistics.
