The International Journal of Management Science and Operations Research (IJMSOR) aims to publish original, rigorous, and high-impact research that contributes to the advancement of decision sciences, applied artificial intelligence, operations research, and management analytics, with a particular focus on the design, modeling, and implementation of intelligent decision-making systems in complex environments.

The journal focuses on the analysis, modeling, and solution of complex problems in organizational, territorial, and socio-economic contexts through quantitative, analytical, computational, and interdisciplinary approaches, with particular emphasis on applications in emerging economies.

IJMSOR welcomes theoretical, empirical, and applied contributions that integrate advanced methodologies such as mathematical modeling, optimization, simulation, machine learning, data analytics, intelligent systems, and hybrid approaches for data-driven decision-making.
