Industrial engineering is one of the earliest fields to utilize computers in research, education, and practice. Over the years, computers and electronic communication have become an integral part of industrial engineering. Computers & Industrial Engineering (CAIE) is aimed at an audience of researchers, educators and practitioners of industrial engineering and associated fields.It publishes original contributions on the development of new computerized methodologies for solving industrial engineering problems, as well as the applications of those methodologies to problems of interest in the broad industrial engineering and associated communities. The journal encourages submissions that expand the frontiers of the fundamental theories and concepts underlying industrial engineering techniques.CAIE also serves as a venue for articles evaluating the state-of-the-art of computer applications in various industrial engineering and related topics, and research in the utilization of computers in industrial engineering education. Papers reporting on applications of industrial engineering techniques to real life problems are welcome, as long as they satisfy the criteria of originality in the choice of the problem and the tools utilized to solve it, generality of the approach for applicability to other problems, and significance of the results produced.A major aim of the journal is to foster international exchange of ideas and experiences among scholars and practitioners with shared interests all over the world.For more information, please visit the Journal's Editorial Office page.Benefits to authors We also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

Environmental and Sustainability Indicators, a companion title to the highly-respected Ecological Indicators, is an open access journal promoting research on indicators as drivers for environmental management, policy formulation, and interdisciplinary research assessing complex environmental interactions for stimulating sustainable development. The primary aim of Environmental and Sustainability Indicators is the publication of high-quality papers that develop and disseminate indicators as common practice for guiding human actions to achieve sustainable management and development in natural and human modified systems.Papers considered for this journal should contribute to development or methodological steps at the interface of the three main drivers of the human society development at present: •Search for human well-being and the maintenance of human health and safety; •Maintenance of ecological sustainability and of natural environmental well-being; •Systems' resilience in face of an increasing human pressure, resulting from population size and demand for wealth creation.Indicators for sustainability and environmental management are requested in the areas of environmental management, climate change risk assessment, energy and natural resource management, and demographic and socioeconomic issues. Cross disciplinary work that touches on multiple goals of the UN SDGs are welcome, as disciplinary areas can include Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Environmental Sciences and Humanities, Economics of Climate Change, Management Sciences, Medicine, and Engineering.The journal will accept the following types of contributions: •Full-length research papers •Review articles •Mini-reviews •Case studies •Policy overviews •Perspective papers (by invitation)

International Journal of Production Economics

  • ISSN: 0925-5273
  • 5 Year impact factor: 10.3
  • Impact factor: 9.8
The International Journal of Production Economics focuses on topics treating the interface between engineering and management. All aspects of the subject in relation to manufacturing and process industries, as well as production in general are covered. The journal is interdisciplinary in nature, considering whole cycles of activities, such as the product life cycle - research, design, development, test, launch, disposal - and the material flow cycle - supply, production, distribution.The ultimate objective of the journal is to disseminate knowledge for improving industrial practice and to strengthen the theoretical base necessary for supporting sound decision making. It provides a forum for the exchange of ideas and the presentation of new developments in theory and application, wherever engineering and technology meet the managerial and economic environment in which industry operates. In character, the journal combines the high standards of a traditional academic approach with the practical value of industrial applications.Articles accepted need to be based on rigorous sound theory and contain an essential novel scientific contribution. Tracing economic and financial consequences in the analysis of the problem and solution reported, belongs to the central theme of the journal. Submissions should strictly follow the Guide for Authors of the journal.We are interested in publishing high quality survey and review papers in relevant domains. However, we stress that the hurdles for consideration of such papers are high. They must demonstrate a strong need, show that they are well-executed, and generate valuable insights. Survey and review papers must position themselves clearly in relation to existing related reviews and surveys in the field. Systematic reviews that merely describe publication patterns in a particular field are unlikely to be sent out for review for IJPE. All survey and review papers must show valuable critique of the field and new insights. Such papers will normally require author(s) with sufficient experience in the field to make appropriate judgements.Benefits to authors We also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

Journal of Mathematical Economics

  • ISSN: 0304-4068
  • 5 Year impact factor: 0.9
  • Impact factor: 1
In the Editor's view, the formal mathematical expression of economic ideas is of vital importance to economics. Such expression can determine whether a loose economic intuition has a coherent, logical meaning. Also, a full formal development of economic ideas can itself suggest new economic concepts and intuitions.The primary objective of the Journal is to provide a forum for work in economic theory which expresses economic ideas using formal mathematical reasoning. For work to add to this primary objective, it is not sufficient that the mathematical reasoning be new and correct. The work must have real economic content. The economic ideas must be interesting and important. These ideas may pertain to any field of economics or any school of economic thought.

Operations Research for Health Care (ORHC) focuses on the development and use of operations research and analytics in health and health care. The journal publishes high-quality operations research and/or analytics approaches to problems in health care from researchers and practitioners.ORHC encourages contributions related to typical problem areas of health care such as: hospitals, practices, care (including home care and long-term care), emergency management systems, as well as blood and organ logistics or population health policy and economic analysis.Typical OR/Analytics topics are therefore: forecasting, capacity planning, layout planning, transport and logistics, scheduling, and appointment planning among others - using methods such as: heuristics, machine learning, stochastic modelling, mathematical optimization, and simulation.Case studies or numerical experiments should be based on real world data.In addition to original research articles, ORHC publishes:Review Papers: The content and presentation of this international journal is such as to provide maximum utility to researchers, teachers and practitioners who have an interest in operations research techniques for good health care delivery. Review papers will be presented from time to time, as deemed suitable. Emphasis will be given to those areas in which significant advances are being made. Review Papers are by invitation only.Focused Issue Papers: ORHC also publishes focused issues on topics of interest related to its editorial mission. Such issues typically contain between six and twelve articles. They are put together under the responsibility of one or several guest editors. However, the final decision on all papers will be made by the Editor-in-Chief. Prospective guest editors should provide a call for papers as well as an informative CV for each guest editor.Prospective review authors or guest editors of focused issues are encouraged to contact the Editor-in-Chief, Professor Stefan Nickel.
