The purpose of this note is to give our readers information on the present state of the journal and its future, following the tradition opened with Bouyssou et al. (2003) and continued in Bouyssou et al. (2006). Three years have passed since our last editorial note, meaning that three entire volumes (each containing four issues) of the journal have been published: vol. 4 (2006), vol. 5 (2007) and vol. 6 (2008). We briefly summarize here what were the main events in the life of the journal since the end of 2005. 4OR has been accepted in ISI’s Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE). The journal will be covered in the 2008 ISI report (this report will be published in June 2009). 4OR will receive an impact factor from 2009. The first impact factor of our journal will be published in 2010. This is clearly excellent news for the journal… although this also means that we are now entering the limited list of Operations Research journals covered by ISI (it presently contains 60 journals) and we will have to work hard to remain in this list and to quickly achieve a reasonable impact factor.

Abstract
The purpose of this note is to give our readers information on the present state of the journal and its future, following the tradition opened with Bouyssou et al. (2003) and continued in Bouyssou et al. (2006). Three years have passed since our last editorial note, meaning that three entire volumes (each containing four issues) of the journal have been published: vol. 4 (2006), vol. 5 (2007) and vol. 6 (2008). We briefly summarize here what were the main events in the life of the journal since the end of 2005. 4OR has been accepted in ISI’s Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE). The journal will be covered in the 2008 ISI report (this report will be published in June 2009). 4OR will receive an impact factor from 2009. The first impact factor of our journal will be published in 2010. This is clearly excellent news for the journal… although this also means that we are now entering the limited list of Operations Research journals covered by ISI (it presently contains 60 journals) and we will have to work hard to remain in this list and to quickly achieve a reasonable impact factor.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
