At present, transport is one of the key branches playing a crucial role in the development of economy. Reliable and properly organized transport services are required for a professional performance of industry, construction and agriculture. The public mood and efficiency of work also largely depend on the valuable functions of a carefully chosen transport system. A steady increase in transportation is accompanied by growing demands for a higher quality of transport services and optimum efficiency of transport performance. Currently, joint efforts taken by the transport experts and governing institutions of the country are required to develop and enhance the performance of the national transport system conducting theoretical and empirical research. The journal Transport publishes articles in the fields of transport policy, fundamentals of the transport system, technology for carrying passengers and freight using road, railway, inland waterways, sea and air transport, technology for multimodal transportation and logistics, loading technology, roads, railways, airports, ports, pipeline transport, industrial and technological transport, agricultural motor vehicles, traffic safety and environment protection, design, manufacture and exploitation of motor vehicles, transport energetics, fuels, lubricants and maintenance materials, teamwork of customs and transport, insurance, transport information technologies, transport economics and management, transport standards, transport educology, transport history, etc. All papers published in the journal Transport are peer reviewed by the members of the Editorial Board or by the appointed experts.

Ecography is a journal issued by the Nordic Ecological Society OIKOS, representing ecologists in Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. Ecologists from all countries are invited to publish original results on its pages.ECOGRAPHY publishes papers focused on broad spatial and temporal patterns, particularly studies of population and community ecology, macroecology, biogeography, and ecological conservation. Studies in ecological genetics and historical ecology are welcomed in the context of explaining contemporary ecological patterns. Manuscripts are expected to address general principles in ecology, though they may do so using a specific model system if this frames the problem relative to a generalised ecological issue.Papers generally are expected to be based on concise hypotheses or to relate to concise theoretical concepts based on sound natural history. Purely descriptive papers are considered only if breaking new ground and/or describing patterns seldom explored. Manuscripts merely confirming or marginally extending results of previous work are discouraged. Papers are judged by virtue of their originality, appeal to general interest, and their contribution to new developments in ecological research concerning spatial and temporal patterns. There is no bias with regard to taxon, biome, or biogeographical area.
