Journal of Operations Management

期刊简介：The mission of Journal of Operations Management (JOM) is to publish original, empirical operations management research that demonstrates both academic and practical relevance.Academic relevance means the research contributes to on-going academic discussions and debates on relevant topics in operations management. All manuscripts published in JOM must, in one way or another, also transcend the immediate empirical context in which the research is embedded. An ideal manuscript is one that simultaneously takes the context seriously (is empirically disciplined) and seeks some sense of generality.Practical relevance means the manuscript links explicitly to an actual, relevant managerial challenge. While manuscripts published in JOM do not necessarily have to give advice to managers, they must have something non-obvious to say about the practice of operations management. In preparing your manuscript, ask yourself: Do I think I could keep a manager interested in talking about my research for an hour? What would I say, what would I argue?An ideal manuscript balances rigor with relevance and offers a novel aspect to a topic of contemporary concern. Novelty does not necessarily mean focusing on emerging phenomena, novel approaches to examinations of established phenomena are equally interesting and relevant.

【译文】《运营管理杂志》（JOM）的使命是发表原创、实证的运营管理研究，这些研究既具有学术意义，又具有实践意义。学术意义意味着研究有助于运营管理相关主题的持续学术讨论和辩论。JOM发表的所有稿件都必须以某种方式超越其嵌入的即时实证背景。理想的稿件是那些既认真对待背景（实证严谨）又寻求某种普遍性的稿件。实践意义意味着稿件明确地与一个实际、相关的管理挑战相联系。虽然JOM发表的稿件不一定必须给管理者提供建议，但它们必须对运营管理的实践有所非同寻常的见解。在准备您的稿件时，请自问：我认为我能否让管理者对我的研究感兴趣并讨论一个小时？我会说什么，我会论证什么？理想的稿件在严谨性与相关性之间取得平衡，并为当代关注的主题提供新颖的视角。新颖性不一定意味着关注新兴现象，对既定现象的新颖考察方法同样有趣且相关。
