Aim and Scope

Modeling and optimization have become an essential function of researchers and practitioners. New theory development in operations research and their applications in new economy and society have been limited. In the information intensive society and economy, decisions are made based on the analysis of data available. Operations research techniques and models need to be integrated with computers for the purpose of analysis, optimization and application in decision making. This development has led the researchers and practitioners to look for new operational research models and their applications in global economy and society. For this purpose, the modeling and optimization have become a paramount important. The International Journal of Operational Research and Optimization  (IJORO) publishes high quality, original papers, review papers, technical notes, and book reviews that contribute to the methodology of operational research (OR) and to the practice of decision making .IJORO will act as a platform to encourage further research in OR, Optimization and their applications. IJORO  help to  professionals, academics, researchers and practitioners, working in the field of operations research theory and applications in the rise economy and society, to discuss of important thought , concepts and expand  information . Timely published Special Issues devoted to important topics in operational research and optimization will occasionally be published.

International Journal of Operations Research and Optimization (IJORO) aims to advance the understanding and practice of Operational Research (OR) and Optimization Science internationally. IJORO will act as a platform to encourage further research in OR, Optimization, and their applications. IJORO publishes original papers, review papers, technical notes, and book reviews. Special Issues devoted to important topics in operational research and optimization will occasionally be published. New theories and applications of OR models are welcome

Ethical statement

Before becoming approved for publication, papers must go through a peer-review mechanism. Many fellow scientists contribute their time and effort to reading the articles on each publication that enters the review process. We expect all contributing authors and co-authors to be willing to evaluate manuscripts to keep this process running and maintain a fair division of workload. We recognize that there may be instances when you are unable to accept a request; however, declining many requests over a lengthy period of time is undesirable and unfair to other reviewers. And besides, if you have time to produce manuscript, you should have time to examine other papers as well, regardless of additional teaching, managerial, or editing responsibilities.

Plagiarismis generally defined as the act of copying copyrighted content without the permission of the copyright holder and without properly referencing the copied material.  Plagiarism of any form is prohibited at IJORO. Therefore, papers which extend existing published studies must ensure that previously copyrighted content is not re-published. Extended editions of conference proceedings are usually not accepted by the journal.

Copyright

Copyright is an intellectual property law that protected certain types of new original works/innovation, including academic works. Copyright allows the author of a work to decide under what circumstances, whether their work may be used, published, or distributed by others. Finally, it regulates how other people can use, publish, and distribute articles.

We require publishing rights for an article in order to publish it and make it available. As a result, we need writers who publish in our journals to sign an author agreement providing us the necessary publishing rights. This will happen when your manuscript has gone through peer review, has been accepted, and is ready to go into production. After that, our Production team will send you an email with all the pertinent information.
