Abstract

In 2012, a first survey of theses registered or supported in France on transport and logistics was carried out by the French Association of Transport and Logistics Institutes (AFITL). This census was updated in 2016. This paper presents the survey methodology; compares the results with the previous survey (2014); analyzes the results. The data set consists of 469 theses defended since 2010 and further includes 345 theses registered -not yet defended- since 2009. 80% of the dissertations are in social sciences and 20% in engineering sciences. A large number of these theses -almost 44%, but this percentage varies by discipline- are headed by research directors whose name is found only once in the file; i.e. the thesis directors are not specialized in transport and logistics but occasionally supervise students working outside their usual area of research. There are clear groupings in the localities where the theses are registered. 43% are registered in the greater Paris region. There are four universities where the number of theses in all disciplines is greater than 50: Lyon, Marseille, Paris 1, Paris-Est, but 46 where it is under 10. By crossing disciplines and institutions, one easily finds the geography of research in transport and logistics in France.
