Knowledge that Transforms

The Editorial Board would like to thank the following individuals who acted as referees for papers considered or published during the 2008 calendar year. Without their assistance, it would be impossible for INFORMS to publish a journal of high professional standards.

All too often, the hard work that members of the scholarly community do to support our profession goes unrecognized. For the tenth year, the Editorial Board of Operations Research has decided to reward outstanding service to the journal's scholarly mission. Associate editors and referees who did an exceptionally professional job by submitting timely, unbiased, and thoughtful reviews were considered for the award. This award is just a small token of the appreciation for exceptional work performed on behalf of Operations Research and our profession. We thank these individuals for their effort to make Operations Research the premier journal of the field.
