ijoc-topic-selection

separate

Use when deciding whether a project is computing-first enough for an INFORMS Journal on Computing (IJOC) submission and which of its 10 technical areas fits. Scopes the contribution to the OR↔computing interface; it does not invent results or citations.

When to use

• deciding if computing is the contribution
• selecting one of 10 technical areas
• determining venue fit for IJOC
• rescuing borderline topics
• checking scope test questions
• justifying technical area choice

When not to use

• inventing results
• inventing citations
• writing the paper
• broad OR theory
• broad management-science results
• pure computational mathematical-programming methods
• optimization theory
• CS-systems or ML-theory results with no OR task
