The department structure at the Journal of Operations Management (JOM) has evolved since its creation in 2016 (Browning & de Treville, 2018; Guide Jr & Ketokivi, 2015b). Part of this evolution was the creation of a department for Innovation and Project Management (IPM) in May of 2019. Although the department is a recent addition, JOM has published papers on the topics of innovation and project management (PM) since its founding in 1980.

To help prospective authors and reviewers understand the expectations of the IPM department, it is useful to look back at what JOM has published (e.g., the IPM topics on which the papers have focused, and the research methods they have used) and how this trajectory has changed over the years. These patterns can inform current IPM researchers and suggest opportunities for future work. As this department enters its second year of operation, we are taking the opportunity to bring the JOM community up to date on what is happening with the department and share some of our thoughts and aspirations for its growth.

自2016年成立以来，《运营管理杂志》（JOM）的部门结构已经发生了变化（Browning＆de Treville，2018 ; Guide Jr＆Ketokivi，2015b）。这种发展的一部分是在2019年5月成立了创新和项目管理（IPM）部门。尽管该部门是最近的部门，但自从JOM成立以来，JOM就发表了有关创新和项目管理（PM）主题的论文。 1980年。

为了帮助准作者和审稿人了解IPM部门的期望，回顾一下JOM发表的内容（例如，论文所关注的IPM主题以及他们使用的研究方法）以及这种轨迹是很有用的。多年来发生了变化。这些模式可以为当前的IPM研究人员提供信息，并为未来的工作提供机会。随着该部门进入运营的第二年，我们将借此机会让JOM社区了解该部门的最新情况，并分享我们对其发展的一些想法和愿望。
