MOR Journal Award

About the MOR Journal Award

The MOR Journal Award is awarded annually to the author(s) of the technical article judged to be the best published in Military Operations Research, A Journal of the Military Operations Research Society, during the previous calendar year.

Purpose

  • To identify and recognize members of the analytic profession who have expanded the application of national security operations research techniques, deepened insight into a specific defense area, or improved the available set of analytical tools, and communicated the results of their work to a broader audience by publishing in the MOR Journal.
  • To give evidence to the belief of MORS that operations research represents people who apply the scientific method to build quantitative models, manipulate data, evaluate results, and publish these results in a suitable form in the journal.
  • To emphasize that the MOR Journal promotes communication among practitioners of national security operations research that is timely, important, and interesting to its audience.

Criteria

The MORS Prizes and Awards Committee and MOR Journal editorial staff will identify and recognize members of our profession who have expanded the application of national security operations research techniques, improved their set of analytical tools, and communicated the results of their work to the broader analytic community by publishing an article in the MOR Journal.

  • Individuals must have published a technical article in the MOR Journal during the previous calendar year whose content is judged to be timely, interesting, and important to the journal’s audience.
  • Each article will be judged on the basis of its ability to communicate to the national security operations research community the ideas of the author(s) clearly, concisely, and unambiguously.
