Use when calibrating expectations for the INFORMS Journal on Computing (IJOC) review cycle — the Area-Editor desk-reject gate, the undisclosed associate editor, single-blind reviewing, decision types, and whether a sibling journal fits better. Sets expectations and strategy; it does not draft the rebuttal (see ijoc-rebuttal).

# Review Process (ijoc-review-process)

## When to trigger

- You are about to submit and want to understand the **gates** and likely timeline
- A submission has been silent and you are unsure where it sits in the IJOC pipeline
- A decision arrived (reject / major / minor) and you need to read it correctly before responding
- You are weighing whether IJOC or a **sibling** (Operations Research, Management Science, MPC, IJOO) is the better home after a tough first round

## How the IJOC pipeline actually works

The cycle has a structure worth planning around (检索于 2026-06；以官网为准):

1. **Area-Editor suitability gate.** Your chosen technical area routes the paper to an **Area Editor** who first judges fit. Roughly **40% are desk-rejected** here for being out of scope, computing-light, or mismatched to the area. This gate rewards the `ijoc-topic-selection` and `ijoc-contribution-framing` work: an Area Editor who cannot see the computational advance in the abstract and intro will not send it out.
