# Transportation Research Part B: Methodological (transportation-research-part-b-methodological)

## Journal positioning

Transportation Research Part B (Methodological) is the Elsevier methodological
flagship of the transportation research family, publishing work whose primary
contribution is a **methodological or theoretical advance** in transportation
modeling and analysis: traffic flow theory, network equilibrium and traffic
assignment, transportation network design and optimization, travel-demand and
discrete-choice modeling, transport economics methods, and freight/logistics
modeling. The defining expectation is a generalizable method, model, or theorem —
a new formulation, a proven property, a new estimator or algorithm with
analytical justification — not an applied case study that uses existing methods.
A well-executed empirical application with no methodological novelty belongs in
