M&SOM is INFORMS's dedicated operations-management journal, the field's home for rigorous OM theory and models with a growing empirical wing. It publishes analytical work on supply chains, inventory, service operations, capacity, and revenue management, alongside increasingly prominent empirical and behavioral OM. Where Operations Research prizes OR methodology for its own sake and Management Science spans all of management, M&SOM is OM-first: the contribution must speak to operations management theory and practice. The readership is the OM research community, so the operational insight must be central, not incidental.
This skill is a fit / venue-selection / re-framing tool. It does not replace the journal's current official submission guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live author instructions on the INFORMS / M&SOM site and the editorial submission system.
