The Saul Gass Expository Writing Award recognizes an author whose publications in operations research and management science have set an exemplary standard of exposition. The submission should focus on expository writing, not research accomplishments.
- The awardee's written work, published over a period of at least ten years, should indicate (in terms of breadth of readership) an influence and accessibility enhanced by expository excellence.
- Criteria include the lucidity, conciseness, logic and interest of the writing at all levels, from the general organization to the details.
- The author must have affected, through these publications, how something is done, studied, taught, or thought about by some group within the OR/MS community.
The written work can contain any combination of practical, theoretical and pedagogical subject matter, and may be original, synthetic or historical. The corpus as a whole must be substantial in content, not necessarily prize-worthy in itself, but not trivial.
Enough of the publications in question must have been singly authored to demonstrate the awardee's expository skill. A team of authors writing together consistently over many years may also be considered for the award.
