Publication Opportunities
In addition to publishing in conference proceedings with ISSN, selected papers will be published in our official journal, Operations and Supply Chain Management: An International Journal (http://journal.oscm-forum.org). The OSCM journal is indexed/listed in SCOPUS and ESCI (Web of Science); Cabell’s Journal Directory; Index Copernicus; Journal list of Finnish Universities; Australian Business Deans Council (ABDC) Journal list; The Norwegian Publication Database “Publiseringskanaler”; and Google Scholar.
When submitting your full paper, please indicate if your paper is intended ultimately for journal publication. If yes, your full paper should reflect a paper for journal publication.

Few other journals will also publish special issue after the conference, including World Review of Intermodal Transportation.
Special Sessions
Next generation intermodal transportation systems
Organized by:
- Dr. Violeta Roso, Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, violeta.roso@chalmers.se
- Dr. Ceren Altuntas Vural, Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden ceren.altuntasvural@chalmers.se
- Prof. Per Hilletofth, Jönköping University, Sweden, per.hilletofth@ju.se
There is an increasing demand for transportation solutions that are responsive, safe, sustainable, smart and cost-efficient. This has resulted in an increased emphasis on functional intermodal transportation systems. The aim of this special session is to capture new trends in the field of intermodal transportation. We are interested in the following sub-themes but are open to other research ideas:
- International trade and transportation
- Infrastructure, network design and optimization
- Design, planning and control of transportation systems
- Intermodal, intelligent and sustainable transportation solutions
- Transportation cost/benefit analysis
- Railroad, terminal and port development
- Port/terminal operations and management
- Transportation regulations, standards and security
- Environmental impact, liability and insurance
- Risk analysis and management
- Information technology and decision support systems
- Strategic alliances and relationship management
- Government involvement and incentives
The best papers in this special session will be invited to submit an updated version for a special issue in World Review of Intermodal Transportation (Scopus). The journal’s review process will be handled separately after the conference.
Workshop for Doctoral Students and Early Career Academics/Researchers
This workshop is dedicated for doctoral and young academics. The workshop will include such topics as:
- How to publish in reputable journals?
- How to become productive and impact-making academics?
- How to manage a doctoral research programme?
and will be led by renowed scholars in the area of operations and supply chain management.
Industry Sessions
In this conference, we are also organising presentations from practitioners that address innovation, improvements, or even problems encountered in the area of operations and supply chain management. The objectives are to provide practitioners with a forum to network and share their knowledge and best practices in managing complex supply chain under uncertainty, linking production and distribution decisions, best practices in managing transportation/distribution, etc.
The 9th International Conference on Operations and Supply Chain Management (OSCM) is hosted by the collaboration of RMIT University, Vietnam and Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS), Indonesia
