Aims and scope

The POLARIS Journal of Maritime Research (PJMR) is an internationally peer-reviewed journal that covers subject areas such as maritime safety, maritime energy, maritime administration, management and operations, marine environment protection and gives special attention to human factors, impacts of technology, and policy-making in this context. PJMR is for academics, researchers and professionals in the maritime industry. It aims at serving the international maritime community by presenting current thinking and evidence-based arguments on those subjects of topical interest, reporting on relevant research findings and addressing inter-relationships among those subjects in a multi-disciplinary manner to improve the efficacy of maritime transport.

The Journal accepts articles and book reviews for publication. Articles should be conceptually reasoned and/or empirically data-driven. Articles reviewing relevant literature in a systematic manner are also considered for publication. Reviewing recently published books in the field is welcomed for publication.
