The Easy Chair: Journal Editing as I See It

Abstract

From time to time there arise in professional circles discussions of how scientific and technical journals are managed and especially how the editors choose their contents. Members of INFORMS had such a discussion recently, and the editor-in-chief of this journal offered a thoughtful response (Michael H. Rothkopf, Editorial refereeing—How blind should we be? Interfaces , Vol. 24, No. 6, pp. 14–18, 1994.). Unfortunately for a scientific community dedicated to seeking models of operating systems involving human behavior, OR/MS has offered no discriminating and objective studies of the editorial process to enlighten those with concerns about it.
