Appreciation to Referees

T HE EDITOR and Associate Editors take this opportunity to thank the following persons who have acted as referees during

the period 1964-1968. Operations Reasearch, and the authors of many of the papers published in, it, have benefitted greatly from their carefully critical reviews. Without their cooperation it would be impos- sible for the SOCIETY to publish a journal of high professional standard.

OPERATIONS RESEARCH

The Journal of the Operations Research Society of America

SUGGESTIONS TO REFEREES

TT IS THE POLICY OF OPERATIONS RESEARCH to select for publication papers whose content will be of interest to at least a significant group

of members of the SOCIETY. The content should be substantial, rather than trivial, and should detail methods, as well as reporting results. Worthy contributions of less than substantial content, and short notes, should appear in the form of Letters to the Editor.

OPERATIONS RESEARCH does not desire to be competitive with other well-established professional journals for papers clearly in their fields of specific interest.

Answers to the following questions will assist the Editor in making his decision as to acceptability of a MS submitted for publication:

1. Does this paper make a new and substantial contribution to the literature of operations research?

2. Is it an original contribution to methodology, a case history, a review, or a discussion? Is its character clear from title and text?

3. Is sufficient introductory and summary material given to inform any type of reader of the content, importance and field of applicability of the material covered?

4. Is it clearly, precisely, and logically written? Are there any errors? Could it benefit from condensation or expansion? Give details.

5. Is adequate credit given to other contributors in the field and are references sufficiently complete? Please supply any significant omissions.

6. Do you recommend that it be published in OPERATIONS RESEARCH? If in your opinion it is not acceptable for publication in OPERATIONS RESEARCH, can you include changes to make it acceptable? As a paper or as a Letter to the Editor? Or is it more suitable for another journal? Or riot worthy of publication?

7. Have you any reservations that make you feel that the judgment of another referee should be obtained? If so, please suggest a suitable person, or take the nitiative in getting comments from some of your colleagues.

i The Editor would appreciate receiving an unsigned carbon of your

comments, suitable for transmission to the author. Your identity will not be revealed unless you request the Editor to do so because you would be interested in having the author communicate with you directly. Your comments should be as constructive as possible to assist the author and the JOURNAL in achieving a high standard of quality. In order to avoid de- lay in processing this MS, please try to return it with your comments within thirty days.

THE EDITOR



Systems

Analysts

The Lambda Corporation, which has attained a position of prominence in defense analysis, has now entered into industrial systems analysis. We intend to expand in both directions but will continue to take on only the more challenging and meaningful problems ... in areas where we-have made signal contributions-optimization, application of the theory of games, cost-effectiveness methodology, and model building.

We will grow only as fast as we can attract the kind of people we believe are necessary for outstanding work, people who

* are trained in one of the quantitative sciences, preferably to the Ph.D. level

* prefer practical problem solving to "pure" research and yet are able to foresee and carry out the theoretical work that is part and parcel of worthwhile problem solving

* are able to use the computer efficiently as an aid in analysis

* have a potential for creative, independent work but can also work smoothly in a small team.

If you meet our standards, there is a better than even chance that we meet yours. Write to J. N. Killalea for an out-of-date booklet.

WE'RE NOT LOOKING FOR THINK-ALIKES

because our problems aren't solve-alikes. The challenges facing our professional staff today range from complex transportation systems analysis to the economic impact of Federal programs, from spacecraft reliability and performance to undersea warfare research. As a representative example: Right now we are breaking new ground in the design and development of large-scale management information and control systems for a foreign government. This unique program combines elements of economics, human factors pyschology, management systems engineering and computer systems analysis. ORI's past success in meeting such challenges has established the company as one of the nation's leading operations research/management systems organizations. A private, profit-making firm, ORI is staffed and managed by professionals like yourself. The environment is one in which the individual enjoys swift recognition and reward for his achievements, with every opportunity for personal and professional growth. Salaries and benefit programs are liberal. If you are a quantitative economist, human factors specialist, operations or systems analyst, engineer, mathematician or physical scientist (preferably with operations research and/or management systems experience) and want to match your abilities against some of the most taxing problems in your field, we invite your inquiry. Please send your resume to: Mr. Carlton Robinson

CAREERS in Operations Research, Systems Engineering

The first thing we did

was file the textb

At CONSULTEC, Inc., we have dispensed with the textbook, recognizing the need to look at problem-solving in a hard- headed, real-world context. And we have taken the meaning of "solve" several steps beyond paperwork reports and recommendations ... to actual hardware and operating systems In other words, we're "doers"-analysts, engineers, designers- as well as theorists.

We are currently at work in 16 areas (with certain inevitable overlappings). They are:

Systems Engineering Systems Analysis Computer Systems Economic Analysis Urban Planning Ship Design Assurance Engineering Resource Management Analysis Programming, Planning and Budgeting Cost-Effectiveness Analysis R&D Program Evaluation Program and Financial Management Management Information Systems Reliability Analysis Logistics Analysis Business Consulting

Whether the objective is a physical or management system, our objectives remain constant: to help increase sales and profits (in the case of industrial/commercial work) ... to assure maximum cost-effectiveness of the given program or system ... to get a job done right, on time.

If you like to get things done, to analyze and create systems from the inside out, you will enjoy the broad sper-um of0 challenges awaiting imaginative professionals at-Q Ec. Careers are now open to mathematicians,.ns Xtc P economists, operations analysts Ad enaiees t l degree levels. For more information, write to our Dior f Professional Staff Appointments.
