separate

Use when shaping or stress-testing a research question for Manufacturing & Service Operations Management (M&SOM) — confirming an operations decision is central, choosing the analytical-vs-empirical lane, and matching the question to the right editorial Department before any modeling or data work begins.

When to use

• shaping a research question for M&SOM
• stress-testing a research question for M&SOM
• confirming an operations decision is central
• choosing the analytical-vs-empirical lane
• matching the question to the right editorial Department
• scoring fit, novelty, evidence readiness, and audience ownership
• comparing against sibling venues
• identifying the target Department

When not to use

• targeting M&SOM generically without picking a department
• pricing/finance/ML papers with no real operational lever
