mgsci-topic-selection

separate

Use when shaping or stress-testing a research question for Management Science (INFORMS) — confirming the decision-relevance bar, choosing the right Department lane (analytical vs empirical), and testing fit against sister INFORMS journals (Operations Research, M&SOM, Marketing Science) so the paper is not desk-rejected as "better suited elsewhere".

When to use

• shaping a research question for Management Science
• stress-testing a research question
• confirming the decision-relevance bar
• choosing the right Department lane
• testing fit against sister INFORMS journals
• identifying the natural home for a project
• scoring fit, novelty, evidence readiness, and audience ownership
• comparing against Operations Research, Marketing Science, and Organization Science

When not to use

• polishing algorithms with no managerial interpretation
• targeting Management Science only for prestige
• projects with no clear home Department and no cross-department insight
