Editorial Board

Editorial Board Composition

INFORMS is committed to fostering editorial leadership that reflects a broad spectrum of perspectives, experiences, and methodologies. Editorial boards play a vital role in supporting an inclusive, globally engaged scholarly community by encouraging intellectual breadth, preventing insularity, and promoting an environment of open inquiry and professional integrity.

As part of this commitment, we are sharing data on the geographic distribution, gender, and ethnicity of our editorial teams. These charts are intended to increase transparency, promote awareness, and help INFORMS and its editors-in-chief build editorial boards that are broadly representative of the global research community and supportive of fairness, academic freedom, and excellence in scholarly publishing.
