"name": "ijoc-submission",
"description": "Use when running the final pre-submission preflight for an INFORMS Journal on Computing (IJOC) submission via ScholarOne — page limit, LaTeX template, single-blind rules, technical-area choice, and the GitHub code\/data deposit. Final checks; it does not draft content."
}
Submission Preflight (ijoc-submission)
When to trigger
- "Submitting tomorrow" — last check before pressing submit on ScholarOne
- Unsure which files, area, and declarations the IJOC submission expects
- Confirming the 25-page limit, the LaTeX template, and the single-blind format are met
- Preparing (or stubbing) the IJOC GitHub Software and Data Repository deposit
Process facts (source map refreshed 2026-06; re-confirm on the official INFORMS pages)
- IJOC is the INFORMS journal at the OR/MS ↔ computer-science interface; content is hosted on INFORMS PubsOnline. Submission is through ScholarOne Manuscripts at
mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ijoc, a six-step process. - Technical area: you select one of the journal's 10 technical areas; the Area Editor judges suitability and desk-rejects roughly 40%, then assigns an associate editor whose identity is never disclosed to authors.
- Review model: single-blind — reviewers see author names; the title page carries all authors and affiliations. (Do not blind the manuscript.)
- Length policy (effective May 2025): main manuscript ≤25 pages including all references, tables, and figures, plus up to 10 pages of appendices; longer appendices go to online supplements. Code/data are hosted on GitHub and excluded from the page count.
- Abstract: ≤300 words, no formulas or mathematical notation.
- Format: single-column, 1.5-spaced, 12-point font, 1-inch margins; LaTeX strongly preferred (
JOC-template.texin the Author Portal); MS Word accepted; PDF for the main document. - Editor-in-chief: David L. Woodruff (UC Davis), succeeding Alice E. Smith (term ended 2025-12-31); confirmed via INFORMS (检索于 2026-06-22；投稿前以官网为准).
- Open access: optional INFORMS Open Option, US$3,000 assessed at production (not a submission fee); standard publication has no APC.
Preflight checklist
Format & length
- Single-column, 1.5-spaced, 12pt, 1-inch margins; pages numbered
- Main paper ≤25 pages incl. references/tables/figures; appendices ≤10 pages (longer → online supplement)
- Abstract ≤300 words, no formulas; covers questions/challenges → methodology/results → importance
- LaTeX
JOC-template.texused (or compliant Word); main document as PDF - Algorithms as numbered pseudocode; equations numbered; notation defined once
- No significance asterisks; statistical comparisons reported in text/profiles
Area, files & ScholarOne
- One of the 10 technical areas chosen to match the method; justified in the cover letter if straddling
- Title page with all authors/affiliations (single-blind — not anonymized)
- Cover letter; supplemental files (long proofs, extra tables) designated as supplements
- Conflict-of-interest disclosure and ethical certifications completed in the six-step form
Reproducibility deposit (IJOC GitHub)
- Repo started from the template
github.com/INFORMSJoC/2019.0000; placeholders → manuscript ID - Root files present: README.md (with
## Citefirst subheading), LICENSE, AUTHORS -
src/ data/ scripts/ results/ docs/organized; dependencies pinned (requirements.txt/Manifest.toml) - README replication path regenerates each table/figure; results match the manuscript
- Aware that acceptance snapshots a tag
vXXXX.YYYYand mints a code DOI….cd
Anti-patterns
- Submitting to a technical area that mismatches the method → fast Area-Editor desk reject
- Anonymizing the manuscript as if double-blind (IJOC is single-blind)
- Exceeding 25 main pages by leaving full proofs and raw result tables in the body
- A formula in the abstract, or significance asterisks in tables
- Treating the GitHub deposit as an after-acceptance chore; arriving with no reproducible artifact
- Mistaking the US$3,000 Open Option for a required submission fee
Output format
【Format】1.5-spaced / 12pt / 1-in margins / ≤25pp main (+≤10 appendix)? [Y/N]
【Abstract】≤300 words, no formulas? [Y/N]
【Area】one of 10, matched to method? [area]
【Single-blind】title page with authors, not anonymized? [Y/N]
