ors-contribution-framing

separate

Use when articulating the contribution of an Operations Research (OR) manuscript — especially the mandatory cover-letter contribution statement (since 1 June 2023, fewer than 500 words) and the discussion's significance claims. Frames why the work matters to OR; it does not position against specific prior papers (ors-literature-positioning) or run experiments (ors-data-analysis).

When to use

• Writing the mandatory cover-letter contribution statement
• Stating significance to the OR community in the introduction
• Drafting discussion significance claims
• Addressing reviewer comments on incremental contribution
• Addressing reviewer comments on unclear significance
• Framing novel, innovative, and rigorous pillars
• Creating equation-free introduction lines

When not to use

• Positioning against specific prior papers
• Running experiments
• ors-literature-positioning
• ors-data-analysis
