New Advances of Operations Research and Analysis

Dear Colleagues,

It is my pleasure to invite you to submit an article for possible publication in a Special Issue of Mathematics (ISSN 2227-7390), a peer-reviewed, open access journal which provides an advanced forum for studies related to mathematics and is published semi-monthly online by MDPI. The topic of this Special Issue focuses on 'New Advances of Operations Research'.

Operations research (OR) has been developed and widely applied for solving practical optimization problems from manufacturing to service. Nowadays, OR is known as a powerful modelling and optimization tool to deal with global challenge issues such as the impact of climate change on human beings, infrastructure systems, etc. This Special Issue would thus contribute to the field of novel applications in OR. It aims to present original research articles and the most relevant advances in this research area that provide new insights into OR modelling techniques and algorithms. The findings from this Special Issue are important for researchers, practitioners, policy makers, decision makers, and relevant stakeholders to deliver an ideal world.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Mathematics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
