STM publisher Elsevier, Netherlands, has announced that it will publish the Journal of Choice Modelling (JOCM), beginning January 2013.
JOCM was founded in 2008 by its editors, Stephane Hess (University of Leeds) and John Rose (University of Sydney), who will remain in charge after the transfer to Elsevier. The team of Associate Editors will continue to comprise of: Michel Bierlaire (Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne), Michiel Bliemer (University of Sydney), Juan de Dios Ortúzar (Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile), Riccardo Scarpa (Queen's University Belfast) and Kenneth Train (University of California, Berkeley).
JOCM publishes papers which either make a methodological contribution to or present an innovative application in the field of choice modelling. The journal covers topics such as transport and marketing where the analysis of choice behaviour is a topic of interest. While it mainly focuses on the use of discrete choice models, other methods and survey design are also discussed.
The journal will publish four issues in 2013. The current back catalogue consisting of the first five volumes of JOCM will be hosted on Elsevier's ScienceDirect journals platform where they will continue to be available free of charge to any reader.
