Evaluating OR/MS research

  • Doyle, John R.

Abstract

Ormerod [Ormerod, R.J. An observation on publication habits based on the analysis of MS/OR journals. Omega Int J Mgmt Sci, 1997, 25, 599-603] has suggested that Reisman and Kirschnick's methodology for describing research published in OR/MS journals may be used to evaluate such research. This suggestion is critically examined by making explicit the steps that would be necessary to do so.
