INFORMS Open Forum

The Supply Chain Management Special Interest Group (SCM SIG) of the Manufacturing and Service Operations Management Society (MSOM) will hold its annual conference online on June 5-6, 2021, preceding the MSOM 2021 conference (June 7-10).

On behalf of the SCM SIG, we would like to invite you to submit papers to this conference. Acceptance decisions will be based on full paper submissions. Presentations of the accepted papers will be scheduled in a single track. We are seeking high quality papers to be presented at the meeting. These papers can be analytical, empirical, theoretical, methodological, or applied, and may address any topic within the broad range of topics about supply chain management.

Important Dates

Submission deadline (full paper):          March 8, 2021

Notification of Acceptance:                    April 19, 2021 

Presenter Registration Deadline:          May 17, 2021

Submission Guidelines and Review Process

Submission: https://msom2021.indiana.edu/sig-submission/index.html

• Attach the Paper file in pdf format: The file should include the paper's title, abstract, main body, references, figures, tables, and appendices. The entire paper (excluding appendices) must not exceed 32 pages (double spaced, at most 33 lines per page). Appendices can be added in the same file beyond this page limit. The paper should comply with the MSOM formatting standards: www.informs.org/Pubs/MSOM/Submission-Guidelines

• The papers will undergo a double-blind review process by an expert panel. To support this process, author names should NOT appear anywhere in the paper file. 
• Authors of accepted papers will be asked to send an updated paper (or link to a paper) that will be available to attendees.

Coordination with the general MSOM Conference

• The same work can be presented only once during the entire conference period. Therefore, please do not submit the same work to both SIG and MSOM or to multiple SIGs.
• If your paper is not accepted for presentation at the SIG Meeting, you may indicate that you would like to be considered for presentation at the MSOM Conference.  If the SIG chairs recommend your work for presentation at the MSOM conference, you will be notified and asked to submit a 3-page extended abstract conforming to the guidelines for abstract submission for MSOM Conference. Your abstract instead of the full paper will be posted.  (This avoids your work being identified as not accepted by SIGs.)
• Each attendee is limited to one submission to the MSOM conference, one submission at each SIG Meeting, and two presentations during the entire conference period.
• Submitted papers will be selected for oral presentation by double-blinded reviews.
