Methodology

Scope: 50 U.S. schools and three journals: Management Science, Operations Research, and M&SOM.

Paper classification: A paper is classified as OM/OR using Management Science departments where OM/OR is typically published (for example, Operations Management, Healthcare, and Optimization). This is augmented by GPT-5.3 inference for papers in other departments. Using this process, 26.8% of Management Science papers (2016 onward) are classified as OM/OR. For the two core operations journals, the OM/OR shares are 99.1% for Operations Research and 100.0% for M&SOM, so the overwhelming majority is included.

School mapping: Author affiliations at publication are mapped to ranked schools only when a business-school unit is present in affiliation text. MIT Operations Research Center is included by exception. Postdocs and PhD students are not included in faculty counts.

Citation source: OpenAlex only (DOI-based matching; cited_by_count).

Faculty counts: Research-track Operations Management / Decision Sciences faculty only (assistant, associate, full). Excludes clinical, teaching-track, emeritus, adjunct, visiting, and practice-track roles.

Metrics:

  • Papers (School/Year): school-level paper credits divided by years in the selected period.
  • Papers (Faculty/Year): author-level paper credits divided by faculty and years.
  • Cites/Paper/Year: total citations divided by school papers and years.
  • Papers (Faculty/Year) x Cites/Paper/Year: product of the two prior rates.
