    Season's greetings!  I am delighted to report that our journal-Manufacturing & Service Operations Management(M&SOM)-reaches new heights in 2018.  

    • A new record: M&SOM received over 500 submissions in 2018!
    • Stable cycle time: average cycle time = 64 days (similar to previous years).
    • Special Issue on Sharing Economy and Innovative Marketplaces: Co-edited by Saif Benjaafar (University of Minnesota) and Ming Hu (University of Toronto).
    • Special Issue on People-centric Operations:  Co-edited by Guillaume Roels (INSEAD) and Brad Staats (UNC). 
    • Data Research Challenge: Co-hosted with Cainiao (the logistics arm of Alibaba).  

    These exciting developments would not be possible without the support of our community! 

    I am grateful to all of you for your continued support of M&SOM so that we can make the journal and our community bigger and stronger! 

    Please continue your support of M&SOM.  Together, our OM research community will continue to thrive!
