International Journal of Logistics: Research & Applications publishes original and challenging work that has a clear applicability to the business world. As a result the journal concentrates on papers of an academic journal standard but aimed at the practitioner as much as the academic. High quality contributions are therefore welcomed from both academics and professionals working in the field of logistics and supply chain management. Papers should further our understanding of logistics and supply chain management and make a significant original contribution to knowledge. In this context the term ’logistics’ is taken in its broadest context as "the management of processes, flow of materials and associated information along the entire supply chain, from raw materials through to the final user of the product". The journal covers all aspects of logistics and supply chain management including, but not limited to, the topics and areas listed below: Inbound and outbound logistics including distribution, transport, warehousing, 3PL and 4PL Materials Management MRP, DRP, ERP and Vendor or Co-Managed Inventories (VMI) Modelling and simulation of logistics and supply systems and processes Decision support tools, methods and systems such as Value Stream Mapping Intra and inter enterprise communication tools and methods such as EDI, Internet, Extranet, RFID etc. Approaches and methods for Collaborative, Planning, Forecasting and Replenishment (CPFR) Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Efficient Consumer Response (ECR) Procurement, e-Commerce, e-auctions Mass Customisation, Order Postponement, Responsiveness Supplier Development Supply chain performance management Collaboration and relationship management approaches in the extended supply chains including supplier networks Environmental and sustainability issues in logistics and supply chain including Reverse Logistics Managing international logistical operations including outsourcing Training and Education issues in Logistics and Supply Chain Management Research Methodologies Case studiesAll published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees.
