Aims and scope
Established in 1961, the International Journal of Production Research (IJPR) is a leading journal in the areas of manufacturing, industrial engineering, operations research and management science.

The International Journal of Production Research aims to disseminate research on decision aid in manufacturing, operations management and logistics.

The International Journal of Production Research publishes convincing scientific results with clear, real-life applications as well as fundamental techniques developed in computer, decision and mathematical sciences to solve complex decision problems that arise in design, measurement, management and control of production and logistics systems.

The International Journal of Production Research covers the following topics:

Design of products and manufacturing processes
Production system and supply network engineering
Essential behaviour of production resources and systems
Production strategies and related economics issues
Production policy formulation and evaluation
Production planning and scheduling
Contribution of new technologies to production and logistics
Applications of production research to services
The journal seeks original research articles, discussion or technical notes, and review articles presenting the state of the art.

IJPR papers should feature following elements:

an exhaustive analysis of related Production Research publications;
a novel decision aid model for design or management of production systems and logistics, the model should be explained for a large audience in production research;
comparisons with the state of the art;
discussion on real life applications of the proposed approach in production systems and logistics;
managerial insights for decision makers in industry;
research perspectives.
The journal operates a single-anonymized peer review policy. Authors can choose to publish gold open access in this journal.
