The ICTCT was one of the co-founders, and currently is a platinum sponsor of the Traffic Safety Research journal (ISSN 2004-3082).
Special agreement for ICTCT members
A special agreement is arranged with the journal, offering publication fee waivers for papers submitted by the ICTCT members.
The eligibility is determined by the first author, who must be a personal member of the ICTCT, or affiliated with an organization that is an ICTCT member.
The agreement is limited to ten papers per year. ‘First come, first served’ applies. In practical terms, this means that the remaining funds are being checked on each paper’s acceptance date, and the costs are covered as long as the funds allow for that. Any unused funds are transferred to the next year’s budget.
The special agreement deals with the article production costs only; during the review stage, the journal editors apply the same rigorous quality criteria to all submissions regardless of their origins.
About the journal
Traffic Safety Research (TSR) is an academic-led international interdisciplinary peer-reviewed Fair Open Access scientific journal. It was founded in 2021 with the overarching aim to contribute to the global shift towards the Safe System within road transportation.
The journal topics cover (but not limited to):
- system analysis and policy research related to road safety
- in-depth exploration and causal explanation of accident mechanisms
- behaviour and attitudes in traffic related to safety
- safety of specific groups in traffic, such as cyclists, pedestrians, children or elderly
- medical, economical, psychological and other consequences of accidents
- methodological development covering a wide palette of methods such as accident modelling, in-depth investigations, data linkage, self-reporting, surrogate measures of safety, behavioural observations and naturalistic studies, virtual reality, micro-simulations, etc.
- innovative approaches and explorative studies that bring in new theoretical insights or explanatory mechanisms (even if based on smaller datasets)
- development and evaluation of road traffic safety counter-measures
- state-of-the-art knowledge summaries and literature reviews.
The main criteria in selection of papers for publication are scientific excellence and contribution to practical knowledge within traffic safety.
