Aims and scopeJournal metrics Editorial board Emphasizing computational methods and theoretical studies, this unique journal invites articles on neutral-particle transport, kinetic theory, radiative transfer, charged-particle transport, and macroscopic transport phenomena. In addition, the journal encourages articles on uncertainty quantification related to these fields. Offering a range of information and research methodologies unavailable elsewhere, Journal of Computational and Theoretical Transport brings together closely related mathematical concepts and techniques to encourage a productive, interdisciplinary exchange of ideas. Peer Review Policy All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and if found suitable for further consideration, will be peer-reviewed by independent and anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single anonymized. Publishing Ethics Statement The Journal adheres to the highest standards of publishing ethics, with rigorous processes in place to ensure this is achieved. Taylor & Francis is a member of Committee of Publication Ethics (COPE) and utilizes Similarity Check via CrossRef for all journals. More information on our ethical standards and policies can be found here: http://authorservices.taylorandfrancis.com/ethics-for-authors/. The Journal has an appeals and complaints policy which can be viewed here: https://authorservices.taylorandfrancis.com/peer-review-appeals-and-complaints-from-authors/. Read full aims and scope
