About the journal
Operations Research Letters
Operations Research Letters is a publication for literature on all aspects of operations research and the management and decision sciences. The features distinguishing it from other journals in the field are
* concise articles, generally limited to 10 journal pages
* extended abstracts of 2 to 4 pages, announcing results without full proofs
* rapid review and fast publication
* broad coverage of the literature.
|
Apart from the page limitation, originality, relevance, quality and clarity are the only criteria for selecting the material to be published. The journal covers continuous and discrete optimization, stochastic models, and situations with multiple decision makers. The subject matter can be theory, methodology, empirical studies, and applications. The mainstream of contributions focuses on new models, theorems, algorithms, and experimental work that the author wants to disseminate rapidly. We will publish theory and methodology with proofs omitted or only sketched, provided that the author submits support material that enables us to verify the findings. We will also publish computational and experimental studies that are not necessarily based on new theory or methodology, but are of significant scientific value because they confirm or refute prior results. Similarly, we will publish reports on applications and case studies that demonstrate a novel use of existing techniques or contain significant ideas about data collection and analysis, modelling, or implementation. |

Instructions to Authors
1. Submit papers for publication to the appropriate area editor or, if they fall outside the areas, to the editor,
* preferably by e-mail,
* or otherwise in triplicate by ordinary mail.
See the inside front cover for our areas, e-mail and postal addresses.
Submission of a paper will be held to imply that it contains original unpublished work and that it is not being submitted for publication elsewhere. All papers submitted will be reviewed by the board of editors.
2. Language and length. Papers must be in English and not exceed 10 journal pages in total. A full text page of ORL contains about 700 words. Titles and subtitles should be short.
3. Manuscripts should be typewritten or typeset, single-sided and double-spaced. Number the pages consecutively.
4. The first page of the manuscript should contain the following information: (a) title; (b) names and institutional affiliations of authors; (c) an abstract of at most 50 words; (d) at most six keywords; (e) a footnote giving the name, e-mail address and postal address of the corresponding author. The e-mail address is needed to send the proofs, the postal address to send the offprints.
5. Acknowledgements, including support information, should be given in a footnote on the first page of the manuscript.
6. Footnotes in the body of the text are not allowed. Incorporate subsidiary material in the text.
7. Formulas that are referred to should be numbered consecutively throughout the manuscript as (1), (2), etc. on the right. Display only important formulas.
8. Figures, including graphs and diagrams, should be numbered consecutively in arabic numbers. Put each figure on a separate page. Make sure that lettering and symbols are of a comparable size. For detailed instructions on the preparation of electronic artwork, consult the Author Gateway from Elsevier Science at: http://authors.elsevier.com
9. Tables should be numbered consecutively in arabic numbers. Put each table on a separate page.
10. References. Cite only the most relevant references and list only those cited in the text. Indicate citations in the text by bracketed numbers, e.g., [2]. At the end of the paper list references alphabetically by the surname of the first author and number them consecutively. For articles, give authors, title, journal, volume, year, and pages. For books, give authors, title, publisher, and year. For example:
[1] M.M. Flood. The traveling-salesman problem, Operations Research 4 1956) 61-75. [2] A. Schrijver, Linear and Integer Programming, Wiley, 1986.
11. Accepted papers are to be sent by the author to the editor, and by him to the publisher, in the form of a source file in LaTeX, TeX or Word, as well as a PDF or Postscript file. The source file will be used for typesetting, the other file serves as a backup. The authors of an accepted paper will be asked to transfer its copyright to the publisher, which will ensure the widest possible dissemination of information.
12. Page proofs will be e-mailed as a PDF file to the corresponding author. Correct proofs carefully, and restrict corrections to points at which the proof is at variance with the manuscript. Deviations from the version accepted by the editor are only possible with the prior and explicit approval of the editor; such alterations will be charged. Fifty offprints of each paper are supplied free of charge to the corresponding author; additional offprints are available at cost if they are ordered when the proof is returned.
13. Other enquiries. Visit the Author Gateway from Elsevier Science (http://authors.elsevier.com) for the facility to track accepted articles and set up e-mail alerts to inform you of when an article's status has changed. The Author Gateway also provides detailed artwork guidelines, copyright information, frequently asked questions and more.
Contact details for questions arising after acceptance of an article, especially those relating to proofs, are provided when an article is accepted for publication.
