Decision Making in Manufacturing and Services

Author Guidelines

1. Manuscripts must be written in English and should not exceed 30 pages, including all references, tables, figures and appendices.
2. Manuscripts should include a non-mathematical abstract of not more than 200 words and up to six keywords.
3. Manuscripts should be prepared with font size 12 point, double-spaced throughout, including abstract, references and footnotes, with wide margins and formatted as A4 paper size.
4. Section headings should be concise and numbered sequentially, using a decimal system for subsections.
5. All the authors of a paper should include their full names, affiliations, postal and email addresses on the cover page of manuscripts. Corresponding author who is willing to handle correspondence at all stages of refereeing and publication should be clearly indicated.
6. Manuscript should include a reference list containing only those references cited in the text. The references follow Harvard style and should be arranged alphabetically by author at the end of the paper. In-text citations should be indicated by the authors last name and year of publication, e.g., (Smith, 2005) or Smith (2005). Works by the same author should be listed in order of publication. More than one reference from the same author in the same year must be identified by the letters "a", "b", "c", etc., placed after the year of publication.
   Example of reference to a journal publication:

   Kaczmarczyk, W., Sawik, T. Schaller A., Tirpak T.M., 2004. Optimal versus heuristic scheduling of surface mount technology lines. International Journal of Production Research, 42(10), 2083-2110.

   Example of reference to a book:

   Nemhauser, G.L., Wolsey, L.A., 1998. Integer and Combinatorial Optimization. Wiley, New York.

   Example of reference to a chapter in an edited book:

   Shapiro, J.F., 1996. Mathematical Programming Models and Methods for Production Planning and Scheduling. In: S.C.Graves, A.H.G.Rinnooy Kan and P.H.Zipkin (Eds.) Handbook in Operations Research and Management Science: Logistics of Production and Inventory. North-Holland,Amsterdam.
7. Tables and figures should be numbered in the order in which they appear in the paper and carry a brief title.
8. Manuscripts will be required in the following order: title page, abstract, keywords, main text, acknowledgments, appendixes, references, tables and figures.
9. All submissions should be accompanied by a list of five potential referees, including area of expertise, title, full mailing address, fax and email.
10. Papers for consideration should be submitted to DMMS electronically by e-mail: dmms@agh.edu.pl in Portable Document Format (.pdf). Submitted manuscripts must be original, not published nor submitted for publication elsewhere.
11. The corresponding author of the paper accepted for publication is requested to submit Latex files of the paper by e-mail: dmms@agh.edu.pl. Figures must be saved individually and separate to text, preferably in Encapsulated PostScript (.eps). Proposed LaTeX preamble:

	\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
	
	\setlength{\textwidth}{6.25in}
	\setlength{\textheight}{9.75in}
	
	\setlength{\oddsidemargin}{0pt}
	\setlength{\evensidemargin}{0pt}
	\setlength{\topmargin}{-0.5in}
	
	\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{2}

12. Authors of papers with mathematical content should provide the MSC codes (http://www.ams.org/msc/ or http://www.zblmath.fiz-karlsruhe.de/MATH/msc/index) relevant for their papers. Similarly, authors of papers with economic content should provide the relevant JEL codes (http://www.aeaweb.org/journal/jel_class_system.html).
