Editorial policy
The key focus of the journal is on topics which have a substantial management content rather than being primarily of a technical nature. The main objective of the journal is to provide a communication medium for all those working in the operations management field, whether they work in academic institutions, in industry or in consultancy. High quality contributions are therefore welcomed from both academics and professionals working in the field. Papers should further our understanding of operations management and make a significant contribution to knowledge.

Articles may be of a theoretical nature, be based on practical experience, present details of a case study or survey results. The prime requirement for acceptance of an article will be that it conforms to the criteria detailed under "Review Process"
Review process
All authors should be listed. For the purposes of blind review, author's details must be printed on a separate sheet and the authors should not be identified anywhere else in the article.
Every paper submitted to the journal is subject to the following review procedures:
1. Firstly, on receipt of a paper, authors should receive an acknowledgement, normally within one week.
2. The Editorial team will then review the paper for its appropriateness to the scope of the Journal. This should normally be completed within one month. Authors should note that a large number of papers are rejected at this stage, often because they contain purely modeling work with no reference to application, or because they do not contain any substantive research content. We want to see a significant reduction in the number of rejected papers. Authors should ensure that submissions are of high quality, reporting original research that has been conducted in a rigorous manner, and written in a concise and understandable way.
3. If the paper is judged suitable, an electronic copy is then sent out for review using a double-blind process. In the double-blind process, information which identifies the authors must be removed from the disk copy. This review normally involves two reviewers who assess the quality of the paper according to criteria which may include the following:
- Are the research objectives clearly stated?
- Does the paper relate to what has already been written in the field, i.e. is the relevant literature covered adequately?
- Does the paper demonstrate rigour in the application of appropriate research methods, data collection and analysis?
- Are the arguments and conclusions in the paper supported by the evidence presented?
- Is the paper well written in terms of clarity and conciseness?
- Does the paper make a significant contribution to the field in terms of theory, methodology or practice, and is the contribution clear?
- Are the findings clear and succinct?
4. Based on the recommendations of the reviewers, the Editorial team then decides whether the paper should be accepted as it stands, accepted subject to minor revisions, resubmitted for review after major revisions, or rejected. The authors should receive clear feedback supporting the decision of the review process.
If the paper requires major revision, the same reviewers will normally be used to review the revised paper.
The time taken for the review of papers depends largely on the speed of response of reviewers who are asked to complete their assessments within six weeks. We aim to complete the first review of a paper and to notify authors within three months after initial screening.
Emerald Literati Editing Service
The Literati Club can recommend the services of a number of freelance copy editors, all themselves experienced authors, to contributors who wish to improve the standard of English in their paper before submission. This is particularly useful for those whose first language is not English.
