About the Journal

Operations Research: International Conference Series (ORICS) is the official international Conference Series of the Indonesian Operations Research Association (IORA) and publishes original research papers that have been presented at the International Conference, which cover: theory, practice, history, or methodology for Operations Research (OR). ORICS will act as a platform to encourage further research in OR theory and application. Market globalization and operations place tremendous pressure in making timely and accurate decisions using more accurate data and information analysis. The Indonesian Operations Research Association (IORA) was established for an indefinite period of time and was started on 25-08-2014. Recognizing that Operational Research (OR) is not only an independent science but also a major supporter of various sciences, Indonesian operations research specialists and users and enthusiasts of operations research are obliged to: Foster and develop operations research; Fostering and developing operations research education; & Increasing the role of operational research both directly and as a support of other sciences in order to participate in increasing human resources for the success of nation and state development based on Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution. In support of the above mentioned purpose IORA in 2020 began publishing the Operations Research: International Conference Series (ORICS), as a periodic media and other means of communication to channel works and news in the field of operations research as information and knowledge for members and the general public.

Since 2020, the Operations Research International Conference Series (ORICS) has been using the open journal system version 2, and towards the end of 2024, ORICS was required to migrate to the open journal system version 3, due to obstacles that required the migration, and in 2025 ORICS has moved to the open journal system version 3, still using the same ISSN and EISSN, and the number of publications is still three (3) times a year. ISSN: 2723-1739 ; e-ISSN: 2722-0974 Frequency: Four times a year (March, June, September, December)

Focus and Scope

Operations Research: International Conference Series (ORICS) is published 4 times a year and is the flagship journal of the Indonesian Operational Research Association (IORA). It is the aim of ORICS to present papers which cover the theory, practice, history or methodology of OR. However, since OR is primarily an applied science, it is a major objective of the journal to attract and publish accounts of good, practical case studies. Consequently, papers illustrating applications of OR to real problems are especially welcome.

  • In real applications of OR: forecasting, inventory, investment, location, logistics, maintenance, marketing, packing, purchasing, production, project management, reliability and scheduling.
  • In a wide variety of environments: community OR, education, energy, finance, government, health services, manufacturing industries, mining, sports, and transportation.
  • In technical approaches: decision support systems, expert systems, heuristics, networks, mathematical programming, multicriteria decision methods, problems structuring methods, queues, and simulation.
