editorial The Team Behind The I E E E TRANSACTIONS ON ENGINEERING MANAGEMENT
R
E S E A R C H j o u r n a l s h a v e a major responsibility in the generation and transfer of knowledge. Inclusion of a paper in such a journal is t h e culmination of efforts by a large n u m b e r of people including the researchers, a u t h o r s , e d i t o r s , and reviewers. In many cases, these efforts take several m a n months spread over t w o or three years, maybe m o r e . W h e n the paper is finally published it becomes the a u t h o r ' s c o m m u n i c a tion with researchers and practitioners w h o apply his research results a n d refer to his findings in their o w n studies. In this context the archival j o u r n a l s establish the strategic direction of research and influence the scholarly activity in their fields. T h e long-term impact of their contents and the leadership role they play in the identification o f critical issues represent a big challenge for these j o u r n a l s . Their success is m e a s u r e d by the degree t o which they respond t o that challenge. The
IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON ENGINEERING MANAGEMENT
has
always accepted the challenge and responded successfully since its inception 3 4 years a g o . As engineering m a n a g e m e n t continues to g r o w a s an e m e r g i n g discipline, t h e leadership responsibility and challenge for this TRANSACTIONS is also g r o w i n g . I a m pleased to observe that the expansion of the scope of the j o u r n a l , the formation of the editorial depart m e n t s , a n d the broadening of the editorial board h a v e p r o v e d t o be timely actions to prepare the journal for the n e w challenges. T h e s e challenges are being met b y a highly dedicated t e a m . It is a team of researchers, e d u c a t o r s , and practitioners whose objective is to assure that the research component of engineering management represented in this TRANSACTIONS will always b e of the highest caliber. This team has six major components: the readers, the a u t h o r s , the A d C o m , the editors, the editorial board, and the external referees. I would like to introduce these c o m p o n e n t s and briefly describe their roles in the strategic direction of this TRANSACTIONS.
T h e readers provide important input to the decision making process through the readership survey. It w a s originally intended as a one-time survey, but the feedback provided by the respondents has been so valuable that w e decided to
include it in every issue. The responses a r e discussed in detail in the editors meetings and the suggestions are incorporated into the strategic decisions. W e e n c o u r a g e you t o fiii out the survey instrument. W e would like to h a v e your suggestions about the critical research issues w h i c h , you feel, should b e addressed by this TRANSACTIONS. T h e authors are the knowledge g e n e r a t o r s . Their research, analysis, and implementation of critical engineering manage ment concepts establish the basis for the strategic direction of this TRANSACTIONS. About a thousand a u t h o r s have published approximately 1200 papers in the j o u r n a l so t a r , and those figures are g r o w i n g at an increasing rate. T h e trend in manuscript submittals is a good indication of this growth. T h e average n u m b e r of manuscripts received by this TRANSACTIONS w a s steady at 5 0 p e r year until a few y e a r s a g o . That figure showed a 3 0 percent increase in 1985, and an additional 35 percent last y e a r . A s the research c o m p o n e n t of engineering m a n a g e m e n t continues to expand, w e e x p e c t to receive more manuscripts for all editorial d e p a r t m e n t s from a growing n u m b e r of a u t h o r s . T h e Administrative Committee (AdCom) of the I E E E Engineering Management Society is t h e administrative body which oversees the entire operation o f the Society. Its 27 m e m b e r s meet twice a year t o decide o n the critical issues and strategic directions affecting this field. T h e president of the E M Society is M s . Vivian A . C a r r , the vice presidents are M r . Paul A . Willis and Dr. Aileen C a v a n a g h . D r . Ronald L . Seaman is the publications director. T h e other m e m b e r s are listed o n the inside front cover of this TRANSACTIONS. T h e editors carry the full responsibility of developing and implementing this TRANSACTIONS policies and strategies. A s you k n o w , w e established editorial departments in line with the expanded scope of the j o u r n a l t w o y e a r s a g o . Since then, the d e p a r t m e n t editors and I h a v e been w o r k i n g very closely t o assure that this TRANSACTIONS fulfills its role of both respond ing to the e m e r g i n g research a r e a s , and identifying new research directions in engineering m a n a g e m e n t . I would like to introduce the editors to you at this t i m e .
