We focus here on questions regarding the craft of producing operations management (OM) research manuscripts. Are the journals we publish in too siloed, with regard to participating authors and institutions? Likewise, are the OM departments we work in too intellectually siloed by virtue of journal choice—are there too many like minds? In light of who publishes in our journals and who we coauthor with, is our field “global enough” or is North America weighing too heavily? We also strive to answer a question faced by many OM departments: should highly published faculty be hired from other schools? How do such highly published authors influence those around them? We arrive at partial answers to these questions by exploring an extensive history of publication data from four journals: Journal of Operations Management, Production and Operations Management, Manufacturing and Service Operations Management, and Management Science.

审视自己：从我们的顶级期刊中学到的有关运营管理领域的经验教训

在这里，我们重点讨论有关生产运营管理（OM）研究手稿的技术问题。关于参与的作者和机构，我们出版的期刊是否过于孤立？同样，我们工作的OM部门是否由于选择期刊而在知识上过于孤立—是否有太多类似的想法？鉴于谁在我们的期刊上发表文章以及我们是谁的合著者，我们的研究领域是否“具有足够的全球性”，还是北美地区的负担过重？我们还努力回答许多OM部门面临的问题：是否应从其他学校聘请高度知名的教师？如此高水平的作者如何影响周围的人？通过探索四种期刊的广泛出版数据历史，我们对这些问题给出了部分答案：运营管理杂志，生产和运营管理，制造和服务运营管理以及管理科学。
