The Traffic Safety Research (TSR) journal is hosted by the platform Open Journals at Lund University (OJLU).
The data collected from registered and non-registered users falls within the scope of the standard functioning of academic journals. It includes information that makes communication possible for the editorial process; it is used to inform readers about the authorship and editing of content; it enables collecting aggregated data on readership behaviours (visit- and download statistics).
Data that will assist in developing this journal system (Open Journal Systems—OJS) may be shared with its developer Public Knowledge Project (PKP) in an anonymized and aggregated form. The data will not be sold by the TSR journal, OJLU or PKP, nor will it be used for purposes other than those stated here.
All users who register with the TSR journal, including authors and peer reviewers, consent to having the personal information being stored in OJLU and processed by the platform and journal editorial teams. Authors who make a submission to the TSR journal consent to the personal information of all contributors they supply as part of the submission being stored in OJLU and processed by the platform and journal editorial team.
OJLU collects anonymised usage log data for each journal, including IP addresses, pages visited, date visited, browser information, and geographical data. This information is not used to identify visitors personally and it is not used for any purpose other than monitoring usage statistics.
The platform also uses session cookies to manage session history. A cookie titled OJSSID is created when first visiting a journal page and is stored on the visitor's computer. It is used only to facilitate logins and to store a session ID. Cookies can be disabled in your browser settings. Doing so will not prevent access to published content, but will however disable all functions that require you to log in to the system.
The managers of the OJLU platform and the TSR journal seek to be compliant with industry standards for data privacy, including the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) provision for ‘data subject rights’. These rights include the right of access to registered personal data, as well as the right of deletion of such data (also known as ‘the right to be forgotten’).
All users whose details are stored in the OJLU platform can exercise their rights of the individual, as they are detailed in the GDPR. If you have a user account and wish to have it deleted, please email publicera@lub.lu.se.
For information about personal data processing at Lund University and its obligations as a public authority and public record keeping, please see Processing of personal data at Lund University.
Traffic Safety Research uses a third-party platform Mailchimp (provided by Intuit) for sending email alerts and handling information about the alert subscribers. The company's Global Privacy Statement can be found here. In case a subscriber no longer wishes to receive alerts (indicating so by pressing the ‘Unsubscribe’ link provided at the bottom of each email), Traffic Safety Research permanently deletes the person from the audience, leaving no traces of information accessible to the editorial team.
Traffic Safety Research is accepted as a member of COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics).
The Traffic Safety Research journal calls for research papers addressing traffic safety issues in low- and middle-income countries.
