SJRQ1-Maritime Economics and Logistics-8000 words-Chicago-no student papers-hybrid

Articles should normally not exceed an all-inclusive MS-Word count of 8000 words, be written clearly and concisely, and avoid unnecessary jargon. Articles must be preceded by an abstract of not more than 200 words, and six keywords suitable for indexing and online search purposes. 

Use UK spellings consistently throughout. 

Cover Letter

Normally, it is against MEL policy to communicate with students, or to have students as corresponding authors. The reason for this is often a lack of publishing experience which leads to unnecessary communications. Unfortunately, MEL does not have the capacity to deal with these. In principle, the corresponding author must therefore be a senior coauthor/supervisor who fully endorses the paper in terms of readability (English and style); structure; methodology; and societal ramifications of the results; aspects that are often found challenging for students. MEL referees are fully committed colleagues but also very busy, and we wouldn’t want to burden them with papers of a high likelihood of rejection.

The template for the required Cover Letter can be downloaded here: Cover Letter Template

Reference StyleSubmissions should be emailed to the Editor-in-Chief at: haralambides@ese.eur.nl.

The journal uses Chicago Reference Style, which is based on the Chicago Manual of Style. Please follow these guidelines when preparing your manuscript:

1. Do not abbreviate journal names; they are always spelled out.

2. Do not abbreviate the authors’ first names if they are submitted in full.

Global bottled water

 

https://www.zerohedge.com/personal-finance/how-popular-bottled-water-around-world

Overall, the quality of tap water is pretty good in Europe, with 99 percent of the population in many countries having access to safely managed drinking water (data from 2022).

Yet, as Statista's Anna Fleck reports, data from a Statista Consumer Insights survey reveals, a sizable chunk of respondents questioned in 2024 said they regularly drink bottled water (daily or weekly consumption). 

 

You will find more infographics at Statista

This is despite the fact that the plastic waste generated is allegedly harmful to the environment, and that bottled water is much more expensive: up to 100 times more expensive than tap water. What's more, several scientific studies have shown that bottled water is a leading source for human intake of microplastics, and could therefore potentially have harmful effects on health.

As the chart shows, of the 21 countries covered by the study, Italy, Mexico and Brazil are home to the most regular consumers of bottled water, at between 65 to 70 percent of the population.
