International Journal of Production Research

期刊简介：The International Journal of Production Research (IJPR), published since 1961, is a well-established, highly successful and leading journal reporting manufacturing, production and operations management research. IJPR is published 24 times a year and includes papers on innovation management, design of products, manufacturing processes, production and logistics systems. Production economics, the essential behaviour of production resources and systems as well as the complex decision problems that arise in design, management and control of production and logistics systems are considered. Manufacturing strategy, policy formulation and evaluation, and the contribution of new technologies are also major concerns of the journal. Fundamental techniques developed in computer, decision and mathematical sciences which can be used in the design, measurement or operation of production and logistics systems are also considered. The reputation of IJPR is based on a strong link with industrial applications. Convincing scientific results with clear real life applications are the principal criteria for the selection of papers. Didactic articles, presenting new and interesting production research problems or/and new applications are also welcome. The journal publishes also major advances in theory, as long as their main concepts and usefulness are clearly explained so that the production research community as a whole can understand them. A special place is reserved to surveys and discussion papers as well as invited articles presented by leading specialists. IJPR is a journal for researchers and professors in mechanical engineering, industrial and systems engineering, operations research and management science, and business. It is also an informative reference for industrial managers looking to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their production systems. All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by at least three independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single blind and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.

【译文】自1961年出版以来，《国际生产研究杂志》（IJPR）是一本历史悠久、非常成功且领先的期刊，报道了制造、生产和运营管理研究。IJPR每年出版24期，包括关于创新管理、产品设计、制造工艺、生产和物流系统等方面的论文。生产经济学、生产资源和系统的基本行为以及在设计、管理和控制生产与物流系统时出现的复杂决策问题也被考虑在内。制造战略、政策制定和评估以及新技术的贡献也是该期刊的主要关注点。在计算机、决策和数学科学中开发的、可用于生产与物流系统设计、测量或操作的基本技术也被考虑在内。IJPR的声誉基于与工业应用的紧密联系。具有明确现实应用的有说服力的科学结果是论文选择的主要标准。介绍新的和有趣的生产研究问题或/和新的应用的教诲性文章也受欢迎。只要主要概念和实用性得到明确解释，以便整个生产研究界都能理解，该期刊也发表理论方面的重大进展。为调查和讨论论文以及由领先专家提供的邀请文章也预留了特殊位置。IJPR是机械工程、工业与系统工程、运筹学和管理科学以及商业的研究人员和教授的期刊。它也是寻求提高其生产系统效率和管理有效性的工业经理的有信息参考。
