About the Journal

Aims and Scope

The Yugoslav Journal of Operations Research (YUJOR) is an international peer-reviewed journal dedicated to the dissemination of high-quality research in the fields of operations research, systems science, and management science. The journal publishes original research and review papers that present significant theoretical, methodological, or empirical contributions—whether mathematical, computational, or descriptive in nature.

YUJOR particularly encourages submissions that explore novel applications and foster interdisciplinary links with related disciplines such as artificial intelligence, soft computing, and computer science. The diverse international composition of the Editorial Board ensures broad scientific representation and supports the journal’s commitment to academic excellence.

As an open access journal, YUJOR provides immediate and unrestricted online access to all published content. The journal serves a wide readership of interdisciplinary researchers and practitioners, including but not limited to operations research specialists, applied mathematicians, engineers, economists, business administrators, military professionals, and entrepreneurs.
