Aim & Scope

Railway Engineering Journal is directed by an editorial team on behalf of the Railway Engineering Association in Turkey. It is a prominent academic journal with a comprehensive scope about railway engineering published in Turkey since 2014. It is a double-blind peer-reviewed, open-access and international journal which publishes research output for railway engineering or from other disciplines related to railway engineering. The main goal of the journal is to maintain publishing high-quality academic papers for the scholars and engineering society interested in railway research. The publication costs Railway Engineering Journal are fully covered by Railway Engineering Association so, no article-processing charges are requested from authors.
