About the Journal

The Palmyra Journal of Supply Chain and Logistics Operations publishes peer-reviewed research on how goods, services and information move from source to use: supply chain management and strategy, logistics and transport operations, procurement and supplier relationships, inventory and warehousing, ports, maritime and multimodal freight, humanitarian and disaster-relief logistics, supply chain risk and resilience, sustainable and circular supply chains, and digital supply chains and operations analytics.

It welcomes empirical, modelling and case research that is reported fully enough to be reproduced, with a particular interest in trade corridors, reconstruction logistics and supply chains in the Middle East and other regions where infrastructure is being rebuilt. Palmyra itself was a caravan city on the trade routes between the Mediterranean and the East.

Current status

Palmyra Journal of Supply Chain and Logistics Operations is a journal in development. It is not yet open for submissions and has not yet published. It has no ISSN and is not indexed in any database; none is claimed. The journal opens once its Editor-in-Chief and an international editorial board have been appointed and confirmed.

Editorial board

The editorial board is being constituted. Named members, with their real institutional affiliations, will be listed here once each has confirmed appointment in writing. No name appears on this page without that confirmation.

Scholars interested in serving as an editor or reviewer are invited to write to editor@palmyrapub.org with a CV and a statement of expertise.

Peer review

All research submissions undergo double-anonymised peer review by at least two independent reviewers. Authors and reviewers are not made known to one another. The editor's decision is based on the reviewers' reports and on the manuscript's fit with the journal's aims and scope.

Manuscripts are first checked by the editorial office for scope, completeness, ethical declarations and similarity screening. Manuscripts that fail this check are returned without review.

The journal publishes on a continuous schedule of two issues per year. Review times depend on reviewer availability and are not guaranteed; this journal makes no promise of rapid acceptance.

Open access and charges

This journal provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge.

There are no article processing charges (APCs) and no submission fees. The journal is published on a diamond open-access basis: costs are borne by the publisher, not by authors or readers.

Copyright and licensing

Articles are published under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) licence. Authors retain copyright and grant the journal right of first publication.

Publication ethics and malpractice statement

This journal follows the principles of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). Editors decide on the basis of scholarly merit alone, without regard to the author's nationality, institution, gender or seniority. Submissions are screened for similarity; plagiarism, fabrication, falsification, image manipulation, duplicate submission and undisclosed conflicts of interest are grounds for rejection or, after publication, retraction.

Corrections and retractions are published openly and linked from the original article, which is never silently removed. Allegations of misconduct may be sent to editor@palmyrapub.org and will be investigated with the author's institution where appropriate.

The journal does not sell authorship, does not guarantee acceptance, and does not levy any charge on authors at any stage.
