    Naval Research Logistics is a premier peer-reviewed journal in operations research, applied statistics, and general quantitative modeling. Founded in 1954, NRL has a distinguished history of publication of both seminal methodological contributions and innovative applications. For decades, NRL has been a broad-based journal devoted to operations and analysis problems in business, industry, and government.
