Acknowledgment to Guest Editors and Reviewers (2014)

Abstract

Manufacturing & Service Operations Management (M&SOM) formally thanks the guest associate editors and reviewers, who provided expert counsel and guidance on a voluntary basis. Through their efforts, the journal was able to provide submitting authors with timely, thoughtful, and constructive reviews. In fact, for papers submitted in 2014 (excluding special issue submissions), M&SOM received over 600 reviews from nearly 400 individuals. Half of those reviews were submitted on or before their due date, a figure that increases to 57% if you allow a one-day grace period. Due in large part to the responsiveness of our reviewers, M&SOM made 92% of its 405 manuscript decisions for 2014 regular submissions and revisions within 75 days and 100% within 90 days. The following list acknowledges those who served from January to December 2014. On behalf of the editorial board and the submitting authors, we acknowledge their service for the journal and gratefully appreciate their contributions for our profession. Stephen C. Graves, former M&SOM Editor Christopher S. Tang, M&SOM Editor
