Abstract
This paper reports the results of a statistical analysis of literature published in three journals important to OR-oriented Industrial Engineers. Over 1500 journal articles, technical notes, and letters to the editor published during the five-year period 1969–1973 were scanned for specific elements of information by which OR research and literature could be characterized. Some of the factors examined were (1) the theory/application emphasis, (2) author affiliation, (3) source of any research funding, and (4) time interval between submission and publication. This analysis reveals the IE role in OR research and publications, pointing out the applications orientation of IE-contributed literature.Keywords
