Webinar series ‘How to conduct and publish excellent research on traffic safety’—part 6
Have you ever wondered why some research papers are a pleasure to read, while others—far too many—feel like uninspired by-products of today's ‘publish or perish’ culture?
At Traffic Safety Research (TSR), our editorial team is committed to publishing the former: research that is engaging, meaningful, and impactful. As researchers and authors, we believe you share that goal. But what sets excellent research apart? And how can you plan for success from the very beginning?
To help answer these questions, the TSR has launched a new webinar series: ‘How to conduct and publish excellent research on traffic safety’. In this series, we invite leading experts in the field to share their insights, experiences, and advice on what makes research truly valuable—and how to turn it into outstanding publications.
‘Understanding the TSR's editorial priorities—a behind‑the‑scenes guide’
Aliaksei Laureshyn is an associate professor (docent) in traffic safety at Lund University, Sweden, and the current editor-in-chief of the Traffic Safety Research journal. His core competence is within theory and practical application of proactive (non-accident based) methods in safety analysis. Other research interests cover emerging technologies for data collection in traffic, safety of vulnerable road users, and policy and practice within traffic safety management, both in mature contexts, and in low- and middle-income countries.
Aliaksei is a passionate advocate and educator of the Safe System approach to traffic safety, having delivered lectures across a diverse range of countries including Sweden, Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, Hungary, Italy, China, India, Tanzania, Zambia, Ghana, and the United States.
