Topical Collections are designed to facilitate the publication of collective research that is either ongoing or time dependent. One of the benefits of a Topical Collection is it gives Guest Editors, Societies, Universities, and Research Groups, their own resource that showcases their research and work in one place.

Operations Research Forum welcomes Topical Collections in emerging and hot topics, relevant to the aims and scope of the journal. Topical Collections can also originate from well-established and upcoming conferences or focus on the research legacy of a pioneer in the field as well. We accept proposals for Topical Collections and nominations from Guest Editors.

If you have an idea for a new topical collection, please complete the following  Proposal Form (this opens in a new tab) and return to Marc Strauss (marc.strauss@springer.com (this opens in a new tab)) and Ilias Kotsireas (ikotsire@wlu.ca (this opens in a new tab)).
