EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF OPERATIONAL RESEARCH (EJOR)
From Editorial Policy
The European Journal of Operational Research (EJOR)
publishes high quality, original papers that contribute to
the methodology of Operational Research (OR) and to
the practice of decision making.
The relation with ongoing research should be demonstrated
by providing proper reference to the recent OR literature.
With application papers, originality should be demonstrated by
applying OR to a problem with interesting new aspects or by
providing fresh insights leading to successful implementation.
