Instructions for Authors
Copyright Assignment form
Useful files:
Submission of Manuscripts. Manuscripts should be submitted to the
appropriate area editor or, in case the area is not easy to identify, to
the editor-in-chief. A manuscript should be submitted by sending an email
letter with a PDF file of the manuscript as an attachment. The e-mail
addresses of the editors are here. Authors are
also expected to provide a suitably formatted LaTeX file if the paper if
accepted. A pdf file can be produced from a LaTeX files by running
pdflatex or from a dvi file by running dvipdf.
To assist referees, copies of relevant unpublished or inaccessible
references should also be submitted, preferably in electronic form. By
submitting a manuscript, the authors represent that they consider it ready
for publication and that it has not been published or submitted for
publication elsewhere. As a condition of final acceptance of a paper for
publication in Mathematics of Operations Research, the author(s)
must indicate if their paper is posted on a working papers web-site, other
than their own. They are responsible for assuring that, if any part of the
paper has been copyrighted for prepublication as a working paper, the
copyright can and will be transferred to INFORMS when the paper has been
accepted. This includes both print and electronic forms of the paper.
Authors may post their working papers on websites after acceptance and
prior to publication, as long as the sites are not copyrighted or do not
serve as formal repositories. INFORMS provides each author with a PDF file
of the Web-published version of the paper after publication in the INFORMS
journal. Please send any questions or comments regarding INFORMS policy on
posting papers to permissions@informs.org.
Manuscript Style. Manuscripts should be in
English. Detailed instuctions and advice on LaTeX formatting are given here. The style
is specified in the style file mor.sty which,
when included in the LaTeX file, takes care of most stylistic issues. The
file template.tex
may be used as a template. Manuscripts should include a self-contained
abstract of up to 150 words describing the main results and should also
provide key words, MSC2000 classification
codes and OR/MS
classification words. Any and all acknowledgments should appear
at the end of the paper, before the references. Figures should be
suitable for a professional publication. If accepted, the figures should be
supplied as Encapsulated PostScript (.eps) files. References in the
text should be by authors' last names and the reference number, optionally
including the year. For example, Boyan and Moore
[1], or Gale et al. (1951) [4]. Full references will be printed as below;
abbreviations for journals are to be taken from the most recent index of Mathematical
Reviews. The bibilography style is the same as amsplain.bst.
Authors are advised to use BibTeX with that style to create the
bibliography.
