Title change announcement:

‘Journal of Modern Transportation’ (JMT) renamed as ‘Railway Engineering Science’ (RES) from Jan. 1, 2020

To seek a better development in the superior domain of the Journal and build a high influential journal for railway academic and engineering communities, the Editorial Board has decided to narrow the Journal's publication scope from the general area of transportation covering various transportation systems (railway, highway, air, etc.) to the cutting edges of railway engineering science. With the approval of the State Administration of Press and Publication of China, the title of the Journal shall be changed from Journal of Modern Transportation (CN 51-1739/U, ISSN 2095-087X) to Railway Engineering Science (CN 51-1795/U, ISSN to be issued) with effect from Jan. 1, 2020. Under the new title, the Journal exclusively focuses on fundamental research progresses in theories and emerging technologies of various rail transit systems, such as high-speed railways, urban rail transit systems, heavy-haul technologies, maglev railways, and hyperloop transportation, aiming to provide a forum for dissemination of innovations in railway research and promote academic exchanges in all aspects of railway engineering science.

Thanks for the great support to this Journal from all the editorial board members, editors, reviewers, authors and readers.

Welcome contributions to Railway Engineering Science.
