OR Insight
http://www.orsoc.org.uk/publication/insight.htm

Operational Research ("OR"), also known as Operations Research or Management Science ("OR/MS") looks at an organisation's operations and uses mathematical or computer models, or other analytical approaches, to find better ways of doing them. OR Insight aims to be an interesting and stimulating publication that appeals not only to OR practitioners and consultants, but also to managers and others wishing to learn more about OR in practice. The journal seeks to inform about not just the scope and potential of OR but also developments in related areas. Contributions are particularly sought from OR practitioners, consultants and others with experience of OR. The journal aims to publish the following kinds of paper:

* Descriptions of an OR project, successful or otherwise, discussing how it was useful and might have been improved, drawing lessons for general use. For complex projects, the discussion should focus on one particular question.

* Discussions of the process of OR, problem structuring, definition and formulation, modelling, implementation, consulting, and the management of OR activities. Case studies providing insights and enhanced understanding are welcome, as well as analyses of unfortunate experiences from which constructive lessons may be drawn. As a rule, mathematical expressions should be kept to a bare minimum.

* Reviews from a practice perspective or descriptions of recent developments in OR with practical implications.

* Articles reviewing the relevance of management topics to OR practitioners and consultants, for example, innovation management, information systems, simulation, organisational improvement, business process design, etc.
