Risk has long been an important aspect of logistics. This is especially prominent right now when the whole world is affected by COVID-19. Transportation Research Part E (TRE), as a well-established journal in logistics and transportation, has also featured many important studies related to “risk”. In this editorial article, we examine risk analysis research in logistics systems with special relevance to COVID-19. We first discuss the topics of risk analysis in logistics by reviewing some prior publications in TRE. We also introduce the related TRE special issues, including published ones and an on-going one. We then propose a research agenda, which hopefully can help inspire more innovative risk analysis research to overcome challenges in logistics during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
