(ISL21 taking place virtually on 12 July and 13 July)

We have included seven papers in IJLM virtual issue for ISL. Given the limit of seven papers suggested by IJLM Editor-in-Chief, it became a difficult task as the journal has published a large number of high-quality papers that were shortlisted from ISL, and peer reviewed following the standard procedures of IJLM. The selection of the papers for the virtual issue is based on including the papers that relate to the theme of ISL 2021 (resilience). The selected papers cover a breadth of topics, and showcase research on logistics and supply chain issues in different parts of the world.
