WRITR provides an international forum for practitioners, academics and policymakers to exchange concepts, research and best practices in the field of intermodal transportation. The demand for transportation that is safe, efficient and cost-effective has led to increasing use of responsive multimodal transportation systems within the supply chains of many firms. Policy makers also have an interest in developing systems that balance the safety/security needs of their constituents with business/consumer objectives. Furthermore, long-term sustainability is an important goal of any system.

View a list of the latest free articles available from Journal of Sport & Tourism The Journal of Sport & Tourism (JS&T) is a multidisciplinary publication featuring high quality articles on all aspects of the relationship between sport and tourism. It welcomes submissions from all relevant subject areas, such as sport, leisure, physical education and tourism, and from a wide range of disciplines including, but not confined to: sociology, psychology, geography, policy studies, management studies, economics and marketing. Submissions may be empirical or conceptual, but should have a clearly articulated theoretical basis. JS&T takes an inclusive and wide-ranging view of the definitions of both sport and tourism, and therefore considers professional and amateur, competitive and non-competitive, social, recreational, and informal activities, as well as leisure, business, and day-trip tourism, to fall within its scope. The journal is interested in tourism incorporating any form of sporting interest, not just tourism to actively participate in sport. Consequently, manuscripts relating to tourism where sport is a subsidiary interest or activity are as appropriate for submission to JS&T as manuscripts relating to tourism where sport is the prime purpose. JS&T also covers wider aspects of the relationship between sport and tourism, such as policy partnerships between sport and tourism agencies or the role of tourism in sports development, and is interested in manuscripts that bring perspectives traditionally associated with the tourism area to the study of sport, and vice-versa. All manuscripts published in JS&T are double-blind peer reviewed by accomplished scholars in the subject/topic area of the manuscript and in the disciplinary or methodological approach used. The standard for publication in JS&T is that the paper must make a clear contribution substantively, theoretically or methodologically, to the body of knowledge relating to the relationship between sport and tourism. Peer Review Statement As noted above, all research articles in JS&T undergo a rigorous peer review process. This involves initial screening by the Editor and an Assistant Editor prior to double-blind peer review by at least two reviewers. As such, all research articles published in JS&T have been scrutinised by at least four scholars working in the field. Research Notes published in JS&T are subject to the same peer review process as full research articles.
