Publications Policies

The function of INFORMS publications is to help disseminate knowledge and research among operations research and management science professionals. The INFORMS publications, which include books and journals, represent a range of disciplines under the OR umbrella, and each has its own mission statement. Each publication is guided by its editor in chief and editorial board. The work of these volunteers over many years has largely established the INFORMS journals as leaders in their fields. Their efforts and the efforts of other volunteers are central to the success of the research communities in INFORMS. The purpose of these web pages is to codify the policies and procedures related to publications.
