JHLSCM Paper Development Workshop for LMIC Authors

JHLSCM Paper Development Workshop for LMIC Authors

Monday 12th October 2026, 3pm-6pm GMT

The Journal of Humanitarian Logistics and Supply Chain Management (JHLSCM) is pleased to invite authors based in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) to the virtual paper development workshop.

About the journal

JHLSCM is an international, peer reviewed journal that publishes research focused on the logistics and management of supply chains in humanitarian contexts (i.e. disaster relief, development aid etc.). It provides a dedicated platform for advancing theory and practice at the intersection of logistics, supply chain management, and humanitarian action, with an emphasis on improving preparedness, response, recovery, and resilience of humanitarian systems. JHLSCM aims to bridge academic research and real‑world application, welcoming interdisciplinary and practice‑informed contributions that address the complex challenges faced by humanitarian organisations and affected communities worldwide.

As a Diamond Open Access journal, funded by HELP Logistics and the Kühne Foundation, there is no charge to the author.
