Abstract

The OR/MS research and publication process provides a particularly effective setting in which to illustrate and emphasize the importance of several general quality improvement principles. From planning the scope and content to final manuscript production, numerous quality checks are beneficial. The academic writer never knows that the quality of an article is sufficient until it has actually been published. Even then, potential defects are possible and should be guarded against throughout the process. Beginning scholars may fail to publish successfully by disregarding some of these principles. This article discusses the connection of general quality principles to the scientific article writing process. Also, some specific techniques used by the author are described.
