The PortStudies database contains all the papers dealing with port economics, policy and management that were published in academic journals and is based on a systematic review of the content of all the academic Journals since the 1950s.
The list of papers is updated at the end of each month. Comments regarding any mistakes or omissions are welcomed.
The database includes papers on the role of ports in maritime, logistics and intermodal transport networks, logistics functions of ports, papers on clustering of maritime activities, spatial developments in port regions, studies of port performance, studies of market structures in ports and so on. It does not include papers on port engineering, terminal operations, terminal equipment, waterfront development and port history.
