Journal Metrics: INFORMS Journal on Optimization

INFORMS provides a range of metrics to help readers, authors, reviewers, and editors understand the reach, visibility, and editorial performance of each journal. These indicators reflect our commitment to transparency in scholarly publishing and to continuous improvement in editorial quality and timeliness. We encourage all members of our research community to consider multiple indicators, as no single metric fully captures a journal’s influence or quality.
