Tips from International Scientific Committee (ISC)
(1) Encouragement to submit Practical Papers
We strongly promote the participation of practical experts who belong to governments and/or transportation-relating businesses. We make much of active discussions between experts and researchers at the conference. Thus, we have set up a Practical Papers category following the Dalian Conference. Practical Papers cover the practical issues and problems with good suggestions for transportation systems in the Eastern Asia region. As the evaluation process for Practical Papers is simpler than that for Academic Papers, we expect many Practical Papers dealing with timely and useful topics such as on-going transportation projects, recent issues or practical comments on transportation policies, etc. The paper evaluation of Practical Papers values their usefulness, timeliness, reliability, and practical novelty rather than completeness or academic originality. The accepted Practical Papers will be presented at the Conference.
(2) Conference CD-ROM, Proceedings and Journal Publication
ISC publishes the following three publications: Conference CD-ROM, Proceedings of EASTS and the Journal of EASTS.
First, the Conference CD-ROM contains all papers qualified for conference presentation. It includes both Academic Papers and Practical Papers. The advanced registration is required for their papers to be included in the Conference CD-ROM. This CD-ROM is published before the Conference.
Secondly, the Proceedings of the EASTS contains all papers that have been presented at the Conference. It includes both Academic Papers and Practical Papers. The Proceedings will be uploaded to the J-Stage web site after the conference. Note that any paper that has not been presented at the Conference cannot be contained in the Proceedings.
Thirdly, the Journal of the EASTS contains the refereed Academic Papers that have been qualified through the paper review process. The presentation at the Conference is required for their papers to be included in the Journal. Papers that will be contained in the new Journal are not included in this existing Journal. The Journal will be provided through the J-Stage web site after the Conference.
Finally, the new Journal contains excellent Academic Papers and Practical Papers that have been presented at the conference. The Journal will be provided through the J-Stage website periodically.

(3) IRG Relating Papers
ISC plans to organize some "Special Sessions" which consist of papers relating to subjects of "International Research Group" (IRG).
When papers are submitted, authors may check 'v' to indicate that their papers are relating to any of IRGs as far as these papers are informed
to and agreed by the representative of relating IRG in advance of the submission to ISC.

(4) Prospect of Transportation Study
ISC provides the Research Vision report which describes the areas and views of the research directions in Asian region. It covers not merely general topics but regional topics such as history and culture also. Those who are willing to join the Conference and to submit papers are recommended to read it in advance of your entry. You can download it at the following URL:
