INTRODUCTION
Welcome to "25 Years of INFORMS," the INFORMS Editor's Cut that celebrates INFORMS' 25th anniversary. It’s an honor to bring to you this collection of articles representative of the evolution of INFORMS and all its constituent parts over the past 25 years. I did not endeavour on this task alone; I was joined by a group of esteemed colleagues representing the different facets of INFORMS. I thank Karla Hoffman, Eric Johnson, Don Kleinmuntz, Dan Levinthal, Irv Lustig, and David Simchi-Levi, for their efforts in bringing this collection together.
The first section, By the Numbers, leverages Web of Science and Google Scholar for the most-cited articles in our journals over the past 25 years. The next section, Community Choice, represents articles selected by our current editors-in-chief as well as INFORMS Society/Fora leaders, and you’ll see the explanation of why these articles were selected as impactful content. Our third section – The Analytics Movement – highlights some of the critical drivers that led to the INFORMS community embracing analytics and the notion of descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive modeling as a way to describe our work at the proverbial cocktail party. Next, we capture some of the ways that INFORMS and its members have impacted society for the better, including highlights from the Edelman Award and Wagner Prize. Last, but certainly not least, is a collection of thoughts from INFORMS past presidents, some new material and some thoughts recorded during their tenure as INFORMS President.
Thank you to everyone who contributed in curating this commemorative volume, and congratulations to INFORMS on 25 spectacular years.
