Operations Research, Data Analytics and Logistics
Healthcare Operations – Humanitarian Logistics – Medical Decision Support - Pharmaceutical OperationsOperations Research, Data Analytics, and Logistics (ORDAL) focuses on understanding and implementing better healthcare for society using quantitative methodology. The core application area is healthcare in the broadest sense. The journal focuses primarily on Healthcare Operations, Humanitarian Logistics, Medical Decision Support, and Pharmaceutical Operations. ORDAL publishes high-quality quantitative approaches for decision-making and decision support in healthcare from researchers and practitioners. ORDAL encourages contributions related to typical problem areas of healthcare, such as acute care, hospital care, specialist care, primary care, home care, long-term care, emergency care, humanitarian care, etc. Contributions can focus on the whole value chain in healthcare, tackling core and support processes. For instance, topics of interest are capacity planning, layout planning, operating room planning, surgical scheduling, patient logistics, appointment scheduling, medical decision-making, etc. ORDAL welcomes contributions, if suitable to the journal’s objectives, in health informatics, health decision support systems, health analytics, health policy, health management, health economics, population health etc. ORDAL stimulates contributions advancing the current state-of-the-art and applying quantitive methodology, such as mathematical programming, stochastic optimization, simulation, data science, artificial intelligence, machine learning, etc., to relevant healthcare-related problems. ORDAL inspires using real-world data in case studies and/or numerical experiments. Ideally, the source data is publicly available.In addition to original research articles, ORDAL publishes, upon reasonable request to the Editor-in-Chief, papers in the following two categories:1) Review papers: ORDAL provides maximum benefit to researchers and practitioners who are genuinely interested in operations research, data analytics, and logistics for better healthcare. Review papers should focus on emerging topics in healthcare and are by invitation only.2) Special Issues (SIs): ORDAL publishes special issues on topics of interest related to its editorial mission. SIs typically contain between six and twelve papers and have a dedicated focus area. One or several guest editors, experts in the field, are responsible for the SI. However, the final decision on all papers will be made by the Editor-in-Chief. Potential guest editors should send a prospective call for papers and informative CVs for the guest editors. Sis should focus on emerging topics in healthcare and are by invitation only.- ISSN: 2211-6923

Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes
Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes publishes fundamental research in organizational behavior, organizational psychology, and human cognition, judgment, and decision-making. The journal features articles that present original empirical research, theory development, meta-analysis, and methodological advancements relevant to the substantive domains served by the journal. Topics covered by the journal include perception, cognition, judgment, attitudes, emotion, well-being, motivation, choice, and performance. We are interested in articles that investigate these topics as they pertain to individuals, dyads, groups, and other social collectives. For each topic, we place a premium on articles that make fundamental and substantial contributions to understanding psychological processes relevant to human attitudes, cognitions, and behavior in organizations.In order to be considered for publication in OBHDP an empirical manuscript has to include the following:Demonstrat... an interesting behavioral/psycholog... phenomenonMake a significant theoretical and empirical contribution to the existing literatureIdentify and test the underlying psychological mechanism for the newly discovered behavioral/psycholog... phenomenonHave practical implications in organizational contextThe above-mentioned criteria do not apply to conceptual submissions. OBHDP also considers conceptual manuscripts that offer substantively new contribution.- ISSN: 0749-5978
