Working draft: WTPP. Volume 6, Number 1, 2000

7 March 2013: Here you have an example of a roughly 80% ready to go article for publication which still needs work with layout and graphics in order to provide a clean copy for the first of the e-journal versions of WTPP that came out back in early 2000.  The production process to bring it to this (a) starts with the original (unsearchable) PDF, (b) which we then convert to the present still imperfect text version (which in this case required about an hour of work to bring it to this stage). Next in a final preparatory stage, we will bring in graphics and clean up the formatting. Then we will be able to post in fully searchable, nicely readable final. If you have any thoughts or hints for us on this routine, please do get in touch.

WTPP Spring 2001. Vol. 7, No. 2. (Work in progress. For comment. )

Here you have a raw working copy which shows what we get when we run the PDF version of this edition  through the Nuance PDF convertor, and from there transfer the text in untouched raw form to these Archives. Let’s have a look and see what we can learn from this.

Pros: Quickly done, full text, reasonbly well laid out and in fully searchable form.

Cons: No graphics and some ugliness that needs reformatting. (But readers wishing the grahpics can always call up the PDF version available in the Eco-Logica site at http://www.eco-logica.co.uk/pdf/wtpp07.2.pdf ) Continue reading

Summer 2012. Vol. 18, No. 3. “Important . . . but don’t do anything about it yet”

The  Spring 2012 edition appears with articles by Arlene Tigar McLaren and Sylvia Parusel, Alan Hallsworth and Alfred Wong, and Chris Gillham and Chris Rissel .  In the article that follows you will find the hard-hitting lead editorial by founding editor John Whitelegg, which ends with this statement: “The persistence of road traffic danger as a scourge and blight on the lives of millions is profoundly indicative of the lack of intelligence, ethics and common sense on the part of the vast majority of those making decisions about transport, traffic, budgets and quality of life.”  QED.

Summer 2009. Vol. 15, No. 2

John Whitlegg, founder and editor of  the Journal of World Transport Policy and Practice makes a frontal attack on the need for radical overhaul of our transportation arrangements to move them closer to something that is sustainable and just. He takes the European Commission to task for utterly failing to develop a viable “Vision for the future of EU transport” — and offers a vision of his own. Continue reading

Volume 7, Number 1, 2001

What you have here is a working draft trial to determine what needs to be done to have clean copy of this as a sample WTPP number in the Archives. It needs of course to be cleaned up, properly formated and have the various graphics included. In the meantime, if you can make do with a PDF it is availablle on the Eco-Logica site at http://www.eco-logica.co.uk/pdf/wtpp01.1.pdf. The great advantage here, despite the presentation problems is that in this way our readers will be able to access by keyword the entire contents of the volume. Which of course is the main job of this archive. Continue reading
