TRB Committee ABJ30 - Paper reviewer survey

by Stacey Bricka

Hi - the TRB paper review cycle is about to begin. ABJ30 and its subcommittees traditionally receive more than 100 papers each year for review. Administratively, each paper requires a minimum of 3 reviews but technically the process works better with more reviews so we assign 5 reviewers to each paper. As with prior years, members should expect to receive 4-5 papers to review from this committee. Friends are asked to review 1-2 papers for ABJ30. You may receive additional reviews from different committees. The review period is August 15 - September 15. To help us route papers to the right reviewers, please complete this very short survey by *Sunday August 13*: <https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/5TVKFW5> https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/5TVKFW5 Two important reminders: 1. Paper review assignments take place within the MyTRB system. Please login and check the email you have listed in your MyTRB profile and enter that same email here in the survey so we can find you. 2. Please login to MyTRB and accept/decline each paper assigned as quickly as possible. This helps us manage the review process more efficiently. Thanks in advance for your assistance - please let me know if any questions Stacey Stacey Bricka, PhD Chair, ABJ30 512-921-6791

FW: TRB Annual Meeting Paper Submission Policy update -- please read carefully!

by Stacey Bricka

Please note some important changes to the TRB Annual Meeting Submission Policy. For more information, please visit: <http://www.trb.org/GetInvolvedwithTRB/GetInvolvedSubmitaPaper.aspx> http://www.trb.org/GetInvolvedwithTRB/GetInvolvedSubmitaPaper.aspx Stacey Bricka, PhD Chair, TRB Committee ABJ30 512-921-6791 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- I want to give you advance notice about a few changes to paper submission and review that will go into effect when the paper submission site opens tomorrow in preparation for the 2018 Annual Meeting: * The instructions for Authors, Reviewers, Review Coordinators, and Event Planners has been reviewed and revised to clean up material that has accrued over time, eliminate duplication, clarify policy, include volunteer suggestions, and generally try to tighten up the language and make it more professional. * The Compendium of Papers will no longer be produced. As you know, the Compendium is a subset of the material that is contained in Annual Meeting On Line. AM On Line includes papers accepted for presentation as well as powerpoints and poster materials. The Compendium contained only the papers accepted for presentation but in a static downloadable file. This duplication of material costs tens of thousands of dollars. The result of this decision is that Annual Meeting registrants and TRB sponsors will continue to have access to all the content they have previously had access to, only not in the particular format of the Compendium. * The review criterion related to the quality of writing has been reworded to emphasize that a paper must be written well enough to be readily understood and that poor English grammar is sufficient grounds for rejection of the paper. This revision is the result of recommendations from the TRR Review Advisory Board and concerns expressed by a number of reviewers about the poor writing quality of many papers. In addition, Neil has been asking us to be stricter about this issue because poorly written papers require an inordinate amount of time from editors, which adds to the cost of the TRR and the time it takes to get papers published. * Authors who submit papers for presentation will no longer be able to opt out of including their accepted papers in AM On Line. Approximately 20% of the authors who submit for presentation do not allow us to include their accepted paper in Annual Meeting On Line. We have received a number of complaints from Annual Meeting registrants and from sponsors that they are not finding papers from Annual Meeting sessions in AM OnLine, papers which are promised as part of the benefit they receive from registration and/or sponsorship.

FW: Special Issue on "Choice Modelling Using Emerging Data Sources", Journal of Choice Modelling

by Stacey Bricka

Apologies for cross-postings - please contact Charisma or Anita if any questions. Happy Monday- Stacey From: Charisma Choudhury [mailto:C.F.Choudhury@leeds.ac.uk] Sent: Monday, May 8, 2017 9:00 AM To: sgbricka(a)gmail.com Cc: maren.outwater(a)rsginc.com Subject: Special Issue on "Choice Modelling Using Emerging Data Sources", Journal of Choice Modelling Dear Stacey and Maren, Can you please forward the following call for papers on 'Choice Modelling Using Emerging Data Sources' to the members and friends of ABJ30? Thanks in advance. Best Charisma -- Charisma F. Choudhury, PhD, FHEA Deputy Director, Choice Modelling Centre Leader of the Choice Modelling Group, Institute for Transport Studies University of Leeds http://www.its.leeds.ac.uk/people/c.choudhury From: Charisma Choudhury Sent: 08 May 2017 14:47 To: 'Universities Transport Study Group (UTSG(a)JISCMAIL.AC.UK <mailto:UTSG@JISCMAIL.AC.UK> )' <UTSG(a)JISCMAIL.AC.UK <mailto:UTSG@JISCMAIL.AC.UK> > Subject: Special Issue on "Choice Modelling Using Emerging Data Sources", Journal of Choice Modelling Dear colleagues, Please find below the call for papers for a special issue of the Journal of Choice Modelling on Choice Modelling Using Emerging Data Sources. The special issue will include both methodological and applied papers on the innovative use of emerging data sources in various domains of choice modelling ranging from transport, health, consumer choice, etc. Submission is open from now till 15 January 2018 and the accepted papers will be available online on a rolling basis. Full details are available below. We are happy to answer any queries you may have. Best regards Charisma Choudhry ( <mailto:c.f.choudhury@leeds.ac.uk> c.f.choudhury(a)leeds.ac.uk) and Anita Rao ( <mailto:anita.rao@chicagobooth.edu> anita.rao(a)chicagobooth.edu) Guest Editors for the Special Issue Title: Choice Modelling Using Emerging Data Sources Background and Scope: Choice modellers have traditionally relied on manually collected survey data which are expensive to obtain and thereby generally have limited sample sizes and lower update frequencies. Moreover, such data are prone to reporting errors. On the other hand, over the last decade, passively collected data sources, which are typically very large and commonly termed as 'Big Data', have emerged as a very promising source of long, medium and short-term choices. These range from GPS tracks, mobile phone records, credit card transactions, social media data, supermarket scanner and loyalty card data, health records, online browsing information, etc. These passive data sources not only provide information about the choices made in different contexts but also about the attributes of the unchosen alternatives, which is very often not the case in traditional data sources. Further, they also provide useful insights about the decision makers. For instance, social media data provide information about the general likes and dislikes of the user as well details of the characteristics and composition of his/her online social network. Data sources like these, which are continuously generating invaluable information, have already gained widespread interest among the choice modelling community. However, there are significant challenges associated with utilising the full potential of these data sources due to the missing information (socio-demographics of the decision maker and his/her choice set for instance), privacy issues, potential biases etc. Further methodological issues often arise due to the sheer volume of the data which challenge the applicability of the same modelling techniques as used in the traditional choice modelling data. The special issue of Journal of Choice Modelling invites paper both on methodological research on choice modelling using emerging data sources and its applications in various domains of choice modelling ranging from health, consumer choice, transport, etc. Potential topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following: . Innovative use of emerging data sources for choice modelling . Cross comparison of choice models developed using traditional and emerging data sources . Methodologies to account for the limitations of the emerging data sources . Application and validation issues of choice models estimated using such data sources Important Dates: Submission deadline: 15 Jan 2018 Date for full publication: 15 Dec 2018 (the accepted papers will however be available online on a rolling basis) Guest Editors: Charisma Choudhury, Choice Modelling Centre, Institute for Transport Studies, University of Leeds <mailto:c.f.choudhury@leeds.ac.uk> c.f.choudhury(a)leeds.ac.uk Anita Rao, The University of Chicago Booth School of Business <mailto:anita.rao@chicagobooth.edu> anita.rao(a)chicagobooth.edu Special Issue Submission Guidelines: The submission website for this journal is located at: <http://www.evise.com/evise/jrnl/EVISE_JOCM> http://www.evise.com/evise/jrnl/EVISE_JOCM To ensure that all manuscripts are correctly identified for inclusion into the special issue, authors should select the name of the special issue when they upload their manuscripts as SI: Emerging Data Sources.
