Editorial: Journal of Shipping and Trade

摘要

Journal of Shipping and Trade (JST) is an open access and multi-disciplinary academic journal that focuses both shipping business and transport related areas. Shipping is closely associated with trading activities. JST aims to promote best practices in shipping and to facilitate global trade activities. JST provides a platform for academics and policy makers in the shipping and trade related fields to disseminate research findings and to share the work with others. As a scholarly journal emphasizing shipping and trade related studies, JST is important in establishing communication links among global researchers. JST also aims to contribute to current and emerging issues in shipping and trade as raised by global and regional public bodies (e.g., AIIB, ASEAN, UNCTAD, and World Bank).
