Individual skill
ors-contribution-framing
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).

# Contribution Framing (ors-contribution-framing)
## When to trigger
- You must write the **mandatory contribution statement** for the cover letter.
- The introduction and discussion need to state significance to the OR community.
- A reviewer says "the contribution is incremental" or "significance to OR is unclear."
## The mandatory contribution statement (OR-specific)
Since **1 June 2023**, *Operations Research* requires the cover letter to include a
statement, in **fewer than 500 words**, articulating the manuscript's **novel,
innovative, and rigorous original contribution to operations research**. Treat this as
a first-class deliverable, not boilerplate. A strong statement:
