management science Editorial Statement

Editorial Statement

Management Science - A premier journal of innovative research into the science of management.

Editorial Statement
Management Science is a scholarly journal that publishes scientific research into the practice of management. Our scope includes articles that address management issues with tools from foundational fields such as computer science, economics, mathematics, operations research, political science, psychology, sociology, and statistics, as well as cross-functional, multidisciplinary research that reflects the diversity of the management science professions. Our interest extends to managerial issues in diverse organizational forms, such as for-profit and nonprofit firms, private and public sector institutions, and formal and informal networks of individuals. We welcome theoretical, empirical, prescriptive, and descriptive contributions.

The unifying thread of all Management Science articles is an analytical focus on improving our understanding of management. An acceptable manuscript must be relevant to the practice of management, must meet high standards of rigor, and must be of broad interest to the community of management science scholars. (Statement from editor-in-chief.)

Abridged Statement of Editorial Policies
Articles submitted to Management Science must be readable and well organized and exhibit good writing style.

The submission of a paper to Management Science for reviewing means that the author certifies the manuscript is not copyrighted; nor has it been accepted for publication (or published) by any peer-reviewed journal; nor is it being reviewed elsewhere.

As a rule, Management Science does not invite resubmissions of rejected manuscripts. However, in exceptional cases (e.g., an overt error was made in the review process or the analysis has been so significantly improved as to constitute an entirely new paper), we will consider them. If a submitted manuscript is based on a paper previously rejected by
Management Science, it is the responsibility of the author(s) to reveal this and to state clearly why resubmission is justified. Failure to do this may be grounds for rejection.

As a condition of final acceptance of a paper for publication in Management Science, the author(s) must indicate if their paper is posted on a working paper website, 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 and do not serve as formal depositories. If the paper (or any version of it) has appeared, or will appear in a non-peer-reviewed publication, the details of such publication must be made known to the editor-in-chief at the time of submission, so that the suitability of the paper for Management Science can be assessed. Management Science requires that at least one of the authors of each accepted article sign a Copyright Transfer Agreement form. For further information contact the managing editor.


See the Submission Guidelines for complete details.
