# INFORMS Journal on Computing (informs-journal-on-computing)

## Journal positioning

The INFORMS Journal on Computing (IJOC) sits at the interface of operations research and computer science. It publishes work on the design, analysis, and implementation of algorithms and computational methods for OR and management science: exact and heuristic optimization, computational stochastic and simulation methods, and increasingly machine learning and analytics for OR. The distinguishing requirement is a *computational* contribution — a new algorithm, a substantial methodological advance, or rigorous, reproducible computational science — not just a model or an application. The readership is the computational OR/CS-interface community.

This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current official submission guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live author instructions on the INFORMS / IJOC site and the editorial submission system.

## When to trigger

- The author names IJOC (or the OR/computing interface) as the target venue.
- An algorithmic, optimization-computation, simulation-method, or ML-for-OR paper needs a computing-focused INFORMS home.
- A modeling paper whose real contribution is computational needs re-framing around the algorithm and its analysis.
- The author needs IJOC's desk-reject risks and a credible INFORMS alternative list before submitting.
