OPERATIONS RESEARCH The Journal of the Operations Research Society of America

INFORMATION FOR CONTRIBUTORS

M ANUSCRIPTS for publication and Letters to the Editor should be submitted to the Editor of the SOCIETY, either directly or through one of the

Associate Editors. Each MS is in general sent to two referees, and from two to four months are ordinarily required for this refereeing process. If a paper is submitted to an Associate Editor, he will arrange to have it refereed before forwarding it to the Editor.

Manuscripts must be double-spaced throughout (including abstract, footnotes, subsidiary matter, tables, and references), with the original in typewritten or equally legible form. Furnishing a complete, legible, duplicate copy accelerates the process of refereeing, but is not mandatory. The style of the JOURNAL should be meticulously followed in copy preparation.

References should be numbered consecutively and grouped at the end of the paper; for journal references give at least author, volume, page, and year; for book references give at least author, title, publisher, city, and year.

In mathematical expressions, authors are requested to use the solidus whenever possible in preference to built-up fractions, to write complicated exponentials in the form exp( ), to avoid subscripts or superscripts on subscripts or superscripts, and in general to minimize unusual or expensive typographical requirements. Sub- scripts and superscripts must be shown large and clear; Greek letters and unusual symbols should be labeled on first occurrence, as should subscript 'zero,' to dis- tinguish it from 'oh.' Whether each letter is capital or lower case must be unam- biguous. Equation numbers must be at the right.

Figures must be drawn in black ink on white paper in a form suitable for photo- graphic reproduction. Lettering must be of uniform size and sufficiently large to be legible when the figure is reduced to final size. Figures should be designated by arabic numbers, and legends for all figures must be typed on a single separate sheet rather than placed on the drawings.

Material that has already been published in books or recognized journals, or submitted for such publication elsewhere, is not acceptable for publication, but review articles, so labeled, are solicited.

Each article representing original research must be accompanied by an Abstract of from 100 to 200 words, to be printed at the head of the article. The abstract should summarize the principal results and conclusions. Articles representing original research should be kept as brief as possible, consistent with clarity; argu- ments already available in other published work should be merely cited, not re- peated; references to related previous work should be reasonably complete.

Manuscripts not conforming closely to the above instructions will not be refereed or considered for publication until suitable copy is furnished.
