EDITORIAL POLICY

The principal interest of Transactions on Operational Research (TOR) is to disseminate knowledge pertinent to the advancement and the use of science in finding effective and efficient solutions to complex organizational problems. Emphasis will be on issues related to manufacturing, service and social systems, such as designing, and planning for the purpose of achieving better performance. TOR will publish original research articles dealing with all aspects of operational research broadly defined. Survey papers of wide interest may also be published occasionally. All papers are expected to have high quality. In a wider framework, any paper which adopts a systems approach can be submitted to TOR. No specific restrictions are imposed as to the method of inquiry used and the areas of application. This policy is expected to stimulate the discussion of important organizational issues that are new or less open to analysis, especially those which are significant to economies in transition or in a restructuring phase. Papers addressing such questions are encouraged and will be processed with priority. The journal is also willing to receive bold, controversial or speculative papers which offer ingenious approaches to problems that defy conventional analysis. The principal criterion in accepting the submitted papers is the insight provided for real-life decision making. All manuscripts are subject to a thorough review process. TOR will be published biannually in English and Turkish. It intends to use all modern means to provide a fast evaluation and printing process; papers which do not require major revision should appear in print within a year.
