The Review Process

审查过程

All submissions for publication undergo rigorous review and acceptance solely based on merits and significance. The contribution of each submission must be clearly indicated in its introduction. Decisions to publish are made primarily based on how much a paper contributes to transportation science. The criteria include its relation to existing literature, length, and style.

Once a paper is submitted, the Editor-in-Chief and relevant Area Editor initially review the submission. Authors are notified if their paper is judged to be outside of the journal’s scope, or unlikely to receive favorable consideration by the referees. Papers that pass the initial screening process are assigned to an Associate Editor in the selected topical area. The Associate Editor performs a deeper review of the submission for fit and quality. The Associate Editor can reject the paper if the contribution of the paper is viewed to be insufficient or if there are obvious omissions or corrections needed in the analysis. If either is the case, the Associate Editor writes a report for the authors detailing the reasoning behind the decision. If the submissions passes this screening, the Associate Editor selects referees on the basis of expertise and prior work in the area. After receiving reports from the referees, the Associate Editor prepares a recommendation regarding publication. The Associate Editor’s report provides a synthesis of the referees’ evaluations, the Associate Editor’s own assessment of the paper, and the Associate Editor’s recommendation. When the recommendation is reject, the report should provide an explanation and justification for this decision; to the extent it is possible, the report should also provide constructive feedback on what might make this into a publishable paper. When the recommendation is for a revision, the report should attempt to provide for the authors a clear set of actions to guide the revision, as well as some explanation as to why these actions will result in a better paper; this is particularly important when the reviewers make contradictory recommendations. Typically only one revision is expected, and only in unusual circumstances will a second revision be recommended.
提交论文后，主编和相关领域编辑将首先审查提交的内容。如果作者的论文被判定为超出期刊范围，或者不太可能得到审稿人的积极考虑，作者将收到通知。通过初步筛选过程的论文将被分配给所选主题领域的副主编。副主编对提交的内容进行更深入的审查，以确保其适合性和质量。如果认为论文的贡献不足，或者分析中有明显的遗漏或需要更正，副主编可以拒绝该论文。如果是任何一种情况，副主编会为作者撰写一份报告，详细说明该决定背后的原因。如果提交的作品通过了筛选，副主编将根据该领域的专业知识和先前的工作选择审稿人。在收到审稿人的报告后，副主编准备有关发表的建议。副主编的报告综合了审稿人的评价、副主编自己对论文的评价以及副主编的推荐。当建议被否决时，报告应为这一决定提供解释和理由;在可能的情况下，报告还应就如何使它成为可发表的论文提供建设性的反馈意见。当建议进行修订时，报告应尝试为作者提供一套明确的行动来指导修订，并解释为什么这些行动会带来更好的论文;当审稿人提出相互矛盾的建议时，这一点尤为重要。 通常只需要进行一次修订，并且只有在特殊情况下才会建议进行第二次修订。

Region editors evaluate

The Appeals Process 上诉程序

Only in cases where authors believe that one or more major technical mistakes or significant issues have been made by reviewers and/or editors impacting the final decision will appeals be considered. Appeals are reserved for situations where authors think that reviewers/editors failed to adequately acknowledge and value their work.

In such a situation, the author(s) may raise an appeal to the Editor-in-Chief via email. This should be accomplished at least two weeks after but not exceeding a maximum period of two months following the final decision transmission to the author(s). All authors must be included in the appeal email.

The Editor-in-Chief, after consulting with Area Editor and Associate Editor, will evaluate the merits of any alleged errors and select an appropriate course of action from among the following options: (i) maintain its original stance; or (ii) conduct one or more additional reviews of the paper for further consideration. All appeals are final and only one appeal per paper throughout its entire review process is permitted. Please note that despite our willingness to entertain appeals, editorial decisions are rarely overturned. This formal procedure is exclusively for raising appeals against editorial decisions. Non-appeals by editors will not be considered.

General Submission Guidelines

一般投稿指南

https://pubsonline.informs.org/authorportal/submission-guidelines

Authors must adhere strictly to these general submission guidelines if they wish to enhance their review experience.

Carefully consider where your paper should be published. Not every paper fits Operations Research, Management Science, or Manufacturing & Service Operations Management, even though some institutions only publish in these outlets. Carefully review their editorial policies before submitting; this ensures your work meets their standards. If it doesn't align well with their criteria, rejection may occur (though we hope it happens quickly). These papers can increase our journal's workload and delay dissemination within the academic community.

阅读您投稿期刊上的多篇论文。如果你的研究风格与该期刊发表的所有论文风格大相径庭，则通常情况下该期刊并非适合你的研究方向。例如，在考虑投稿时也要注意这些细节：如果您的研究基于一项调查且属于纯证 empirical 研究领域，则建议不要将文章投向此类期刊；同样地，在考虑投稿时也要注意这些细节：如果您的研究是对特定模型实施问题的定性分析且目标期刊只发表高度理论化及数学化的文章，则建议寻找其他合适的刊物。

3. ** 标题与摘要需准确概括问题的核心.** 摘要部分应为论文的主要发现提供清晰指导。例如，在表述"我们证明我们的算法可以在不到一个小时的 CPU 时间内解决 40,000 个节点（或任何以前可解决实例节点数量的 10 倍）的问题实例"时，则较之于表述"我们解决大型范围的问题实例"更为理想。

4. ** The introduction and conclusions of the paper should be written for a broad audience (e.g., operations researchers),** not just for the handful of researchers who may be interested in the details of your problem and solution approach. The introduction should clearly state what your contribution to the literature and to the problem is. This will enable the editorial staff to quickly determine if this is truly a contribution to the literature or if it is not. For example, if your contribution is that you can find the minimum cost order quantity with fixed annual demand and fixed order and holding costs, a good (or even not-so-good) editor will recognize this as an EOQ model, which we have known how to solve for decades. Such a paper would (should) be rejected very quickly. In assessing the contribution, think about why anyone would want to read the paper. Similarly, the conclusions should summarize the paper and its contributions in broad language accessible to a wide audience. The conclusions should also clearly state limitations of the work (our work only applies to linear cost functions) and outline directions for future work in the area.
   论文的引言和结论应该写给广大读者（例如，运筹学研究人员），而不仅仅是为少数可能对你的问题和解决方案的细节感兴趣的研究人员写的。引言应该清楚地说明你对文献和问题的贡献是什么。这将使编辑人员能够快速确定这是否真的是对文献的贡献。例如，如果你的贡献是，你可以找到具有固定的年度需求和固定的订单和持有成本的最小成本订单数量，那么一个好的（甚至不太好的）编辑会认为这是一个EOQ模型，我们已经知道如何解决几十年了。这样的文件将很快（应该）被拒绝。在评估贡献时，想想为什么有人会想阅读这篇论文。同样，结论应以广大读者可以理解的宽泛语言概括论文及其贡献。结论还应明确说明工作的局限性（我们的工作仅适用于线性成本函数），并概述该领域未来工作的方向。

5. ** 文献综述应侧重于相关文献** — 不必涵盖该领域发表的所有论文 Broadly defined, 不必涵盖该领域发表的所有论文. 但请务必参考领域内的关键工作. 一条规则可能是, 如果一篇论文出现在你的主题的谷歌搜索结果首页上而你未引用它, 应清楚说明原因. 文献综述的最后部分, 读者与编辑应清楚了解您在该领域中的贡献是什么.

6. Distinctly cite your own related work and differentiate the contribution that this paper makes in addition to the contributions of your prior work. Failing to do so can be perceived as omitting originality, which is effectively self-plagiarism—a form of academic dishonesty. The repercussions for such actions are quite serious. For more details, please refer to https://pubsonline.informs.org/authorportal/copyright-plagiarism.

7. Strive to maintain conciseness and minimize unnecessary mathematical symbols. While we haven't conducted an in-depth study on this particular phenomenon, our analysis suggests that review times tend to increase (potentially at a rate exceeding linear growth) as both the length of the manuscript and its mathematical content become more extensive.
   尽量保持论文简短，并减少不必要的数学符号。
   虽然我们尚未对此现象进行深入研究，
   但我们认为审稿时间会随着论文篇幅的增长以及数学内容的扩展而增加（可能以超过线性速度增长）。

8. ** To a great extent, utilize figures and graphs to present primary outcomes.** If your primary outcome is that computational effort scales linearly with input size, construct a graph illustrating computational effort against input size. Demonstrate how computational effort aligns with input scaling via regression analysis. Avoid merely presenting raw data in tabular form as it fails to highlight this relationship effectively. Additionally, employing figures and graphs can enhance explanations of models and algorithms (where appropriate).

Make sure the paper is thoroughly written. It is advisable to seek professional proofreading services from native English-speaking editors, as many universities and companies offer such services or maintain lists of qualified editors in their respective fields. Papers that lack proper grammar and coherence may still fail despite making meaningful contributions. The INFORMS website offers resources for technical editing support services; please refer to https://pubsonline.informs.org/authorportal/presubmission-editing for more details.

当收到审稿人的评论时，
在回应审稿意见时，

• ** 请解释一下你不回应那些被你选定不回应的评论的原因。
• ** 在重新提交论文时，请明确标注修改的部分。

When submitting a paper for review, one inadvertently assumes the role of evaluating 2-3 pieces of work. Identifying referees can often prove challenging, as an associate editor may frequently need to approach multiple individuals before securing one willing to serve on the panel. If one anticipates receiving 2-3 reviews, it’s reasonable to assume they’ll need to provide those services themselves. For papers with multiple authors, dividing this number by the author count might seem appealing, but typically, more senior authors are the ones often asked to referee others’ work. This principle stems from flow conservation, which dictates that introducing such demands necessitates corresponding responsibilities.

撰写论文时寻找合适的审稿人往往成为影响工作效率的主要因素。对于副主编来说，在找到愿意参与评审工作的人方面存在一定的挑战性。如果您的目标是获得大约2-3条评论，则需要作者愿意承担相应的责任来完成这些评论任务。当一篇论文有多个作者时，请考虑将所需的评论数量平均分配给每位作者；然而，在实践中这种情况并不常见：资深作者通常会接受为其他人的文章提供评审服务的要求。这是一个资源分配问题：例如，在处理请求时如果引入了对3条评论的需求，则相应地应该增加准备这方面的资源数量
