The Manufacturing and Service Operations Society of INFORMS is pleased to continue the Management Science Best Paper Award in Operations Management. The award is given to the paper published in Management Science in the previous three years (2022-2024) deemed most deserving for its contribution to the theory and practice of operations management.
All papers published by the Operations Management, Data Science (formerly Big Data Analytics), Healthcare Management, and Revenue Management and Market Analytics departments are automatically nominated for this award (see the attached Excel sheet for the list of these papers). Any paper published in Management Science from 2022-2024 can also be nominated for consideration. Self-nominations are accepted and encouraged. If you wish to nominate a paper not included in the attachment, please email Elena Katok (ekatok@utdallas.edu) with the paper's citation (authors, title, year, etc.) by Friday, May 16, 2025. No additional supporting information is needed or expected.
Three finalists (or more in the case of a tie) will be selected by the Associate Editors/Department Editors of the above four departments through an approval voting process. Finalists are then announced to the MSOM Society members, and the winner will be selected from among the finalists by a vote of the MSOM Society members. The winning paper will be announced at the MSOM business meeting this Summer and Fall as well as a certificate of recognition and a $2,000 prize (to be divided equally among the authors).
