Dear Colleagues and Friends,
After six years as the Editor-in-Chief of Management Science, an INFORMS flagship journal, my term is coming to an end. During that period, Management Science established itself as the dominant journal in our field, experiencing a significant increase in submission volume and ranking, attracting substantial interest from practitioners, achieving shorter review time, and implementing effective processes to address current and future crises. None of this would have been possible without the major changes and bold initiatives implemented over the last six years and described in my recent editorial.
I would like to express my gratitude to the editorial board, which includes more than 40 senior researchers, hundreds of associate editors, and thousands of referees. The successful implementations of the major changes and bold initiatives, and the tremendous growth of Management Science reported in my editorial, would not have been possible without the support of the editorial board and the entire management science community. Thank you all for your contributions!
It has been a pleasure and privilege serving the entire management science community.
Happy Holidays and Best Wishes for the New Year!
