Editorial Board Composition

INFORMS is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion in every facet of our operations. As part of this commitment, we are sharing the diversity of our journals’ editorial teams. Sharing this demographic data is one small way to help us work toward a more diverse and inclusive organization, starting with gaining better understanding of our current demographics.

As part of this commitment, we are sharing data on the gender, ethnicity, and geographic distribution 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.
