THE “WHITE SPACE” OF LOGISTICS RESEARCH: A LOOK AT THE ROLE OF METHODS USAGE

Abstract

This paper examines the use of various research methods by contemporary researchers. The previous six years of articles in a leading logistics journal are examined and classified. The analysis seeks to identify and discuss changes and trends that are occurring in the use of such methods, as well as considering why the current conditions are in place, and what, if any, opportunities exist for logistics researchers given this situation.
