Acadmic publishing in operations management is striving for impact, yet with ever-increasing speed of change in business and society, academia needs to move faster, bringing today's best thinking to decision-makers soonest. To make a difference, scholars should aim to influence real-world decision-making with research that is current, provocative, relevant, and accessible, sharing ideas that people care about. We believe there is much to be learned from other scientific disciplines that have embraced more responsive, high-impact publishing like medical science (The Lancet, Nature, Science). For instance with The Lancet, the highest-quality research is published in under 4,000 words. This STF with JBL offers a fast review cycle (4 months) directed towards impact, clarity, and relevance. We discuss in this session ideas and Q&A for potential contributions as bold, relevant, empirical and data-backed—designed for impact, not length. We aspire a new stream of high-quality and highly relevant publications with operations management.
