    To whom it may concern.

    I am a retired member of INFORMS.
    I wish to inquire as to how to publish an article in an INFORMS journal.
    Happy New Year.

    Happy New Year, Cecilia!

    The more concise answer, based on my experience, is:
    "only with extreme difficulty".

    The more helpful answer is: 
    "Identify an INFORMS journal with publication criteria - type and importance of application, level of modeling development, depth of mathematical analysis,
    quality of data, rigor of empirical analysis, and managerial insights - that closely match your work. Make sure that your work is well motivated and, from some
    perspective, important to a somewhat broad audience. If possible, ask for comments on your draft from someone who published recently in the same journal."

    Good luck!

    Best,

    Nick

    Dear Professor Brandeau,
    Having read your advice on how to publish in an INFORMS journal, here's how I finished up.
    1.  steer clear of INFORMS altogether;
    2. ask you if you wouldn't mind reading my manuscript before I take it somewhere else.
     It may be your first painful bout for the year but I would most benefit by your advice.

    With kind regards,
    Cecilia Nembou

    Dear Professor Brandeau,
    Greetings from Papua New Guinea.
    We last communicated a month ago and you indicated that you could take a quick look at my draft manuscript.
    I have attached it to this email and I seek your kind consideration to critique it.
    In gratitude,
    Cecilia Nembou
