European Journal of Operational Research (EJOR)
At the first Council Meeting held on 30 January 1975, a European Journal of Operational Research (EJOR) was proposed. A committee (G. Kreweras, B. Roy, C.B. Tilanus, and H.-J. Zimmermann) was formed to investigate the desirability of such a venture. Following their recommendations, the Council decided on 8 May 1975 that EJOR should be launched. All member societies were requested to nominate candidates for the editorial organization.
The first volume of EJOR appeared in 1977. It consisted of six issues published bimonthly and totalling 420 pages. EJOR has ever since experienced a remarkable growth. Two volumes were published in 1980 in 12 monthly issues; eight volumes totalling over 5300 pages were published in 1995, thus making EJOR the largest OR journal worldwide.
Most issues since 1981 are led by an Invited Review. Thus by mid-1995, 172 Invited reviews covering a wide range of topics of interest of operational researchers had been published. In addition to the invited reviews and regular papers, EJOR includes book reviews, and sections dealing with OR software.
Over the years, feature issues of EJOR have been published and guest-edited feature issues have been generated by several EURO instruments, e.g.: EURO-k conferences, Mini EURO conferences, EURO Summer Institutes, EURO Working Groups.
Throughout its lifetime, EJOR has been published by Elsevier Science Publishers (North-Holland), Amsterdam.
