Abstract

In 1996, Michael Rothkopf created an index of institutional contributions to the practice of operations research (OR) and management science (MS). Since then, Ron Fricker and I have continued to calculate, evolve, and extend this ranking. In this Interfaces (INT) and INFORMS Journal on Applied Analytics (IJAA) anniversary ranking, I analyze organizational contributions to the practice of OR/MS in INT since the inception of the journal in 1971. I calculate all three prior ranking measures—visibility, yield, and academic yield—and a blend of the rankings. This analysis considers only articles in INT/IJAA, which is a departure from prior rankings, which included applied work in some other journals. However, for the first time, we have a single database of every article ever published in INT/IJAA, allowing analysis of trends over time. I am also able to compute the all-time contributions of nonacademic institutions as done by Fricker in 2012.
