Guidelines:
- The purpose of this INFORMS blog is to publish posts showcasing research in operations research, management science, and advanced analytics. Blog posts eligible for publication include blogs explaining papers, dissertations, and funded research that were recognized for their novelty by being selected as finalists in INFORMS and INFORMS Community paper competitions.
- Your submission will be refereed by the INFORMS Public Information Committee (PIC). This INFORMS PIC Blog will publish award finalists and grantees whose work reflects novelty of research results. A review panel and judges should have already identified the work as particularly promising.
- Unfunded research projects will be selected and featured on a case-by-case basis, with preference given to work accepted for publication in INFORMS journals.
- If you are submitting as a targeted grantee, you should present your results along with proof that that you have received 1-2 years of funding. For NSF grantees, grant abstracts posted on the NSF website can serve as proof of funding.
- After August 31, 2011, all subsequent finalists in INFORMS paper competitions will be invited to contribute posts.
- Your blog post should include the problem, solution and results of your research in simple language accessible to those who are not operations researchers.
- Avoid technical terms and jargon in the main part of your post. At the bottom of your post, you may include technical details or a link to your paper.
