From Editorial Policy

   The European Journal of Operational Research (EJOR)
    publishes high quality, original papers that contribute to
    the methodology of Operational Research (OR) and to
    the practice of decision making.

   The relation with ongoing research should be demonstrated
    by providing proper reference to the recent OR literature.

   With application papers, originality should be demonstrated by
    applying OR to a problem with interesting new aspects or by
    providing fresh insights leading to successful implementation.

Final remarks

   With the current pressure on publications in top tier journals,
    the number of submissions to EJOR has grown significantly.

   In this situation, the Editors of EJOR had to adjust their
    editorial policy and became more strict regarding the focus
    of the submissions on Operational Research (OR).

   Although diversity and interface of OR with other disciplines are still
    strong points of EJOR, the Editors are now more demanding
    regarding the centrality of the use of OR methodology to support
    decision-making on real-world inspired problems.

                                                                              50
