21st Logistics Colloquium on
October 1 and 2, 2025 in Karlsruhe

The Scientific Society for Technical Logistics (WGTL e.V.) invites you to the 21st Logistics Colloquium in Karlsruhe. The annual event serves to promote the exchange of information and cooperation between science and practice in the field of technical logistics.

All necessary templates and deadlines can be found on the event page.

 

Basic conditions for the publication of articles in the Logistics Journal

The publication of a scientific article in the Logistics Journal requires that it relates thematically to technical logistics and methodically prepares research objects for scientific benefit.
The technical focus is on the technology and operation of material flow processes in industry, trade and services.
Among other things, design solutions, planning and control procedures and the operation of individual trades as well as overall systems are considered, taking into account information technology, interface design and superordinate and subordinate processes. The focus is on intralogistics.

A narrow, local limitation of the selected subject area leads to exclusion if the transferability of the methodology is not recognizable. In addition, only articles on civil logistics (no military content) will be considered.

The principles of good scientific practice apply. Politically motivated text contributions and those that are directly or indirectly promotional will not be published.

The Logistics Journal is indexed in Scopus, the database for scientific literature.

Detailed and legal information on our author guidelines can be found here.

Classification of articles in the subseries of the Logistics Journal:

(1) Refereed Articles (Peer Review) and
(2) Editorially Reviewed Articles (Editorial Review)

You have the option of publishing your scientific articles in the Logistics Journal with the procedures of a peer review (subseries: Peer Reviewed) or an editorial review (subseries: Editorial Review). The Editorial Review procedure with editorial review is suitable for short-term publications within a few days. The peer-reviewed procedure is considerably more time-consuming, stricter and identifies high-quality and scientifically particularly valuable articles to the scientific community. The processing time can be six months.

(3) Proceedings - articles from the WGTL specialist colloquium

Articles presented at the regular WGTL colloquium have previously been submitted to the WGTL committee in short form (abstract), reviewed and approved from a selection of submitted articles with the long application. After publication of these articles in the WGTL Colloquium, they appear in the Logistics Journal in the Proceedings subseries.
