Aims and Scope
Since the advent of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) in 1978,
there has been an impressive growth both in theoretical developments and
applications of these developments to practical situations. On the
methodological front, we have seen the development of (1) various models
for measuring efficiency, (2) approaches for incorporating DMUs’
structures, (3) models for examining the status of variables, and (4)
models for evaluating data variations. After more than thirty years of DEA
development, this special issue seeks papers that address and extend the
above important areas of research in DEA. Novel applications as well as
survey papers on specific DEA research streams are also welcomed. The main
theme of the special issue is research aimed at extending the boundaries of
DEA.
Submission
Manuscripts should be submitted via EES
http://www.ees.elsevier.com/omega/ and indicate in the Article Type
“Special Issue: Data Envelopment Analysis”. They should not have been
previously published nor be currently under consideration for
publicationelsewhere. Refereeing and the selection of papers follow the
normal standards of OMEGA. For details related to the format, please refer
to the webpage:
http://www.elsevier.com/framework_products/promis_misc/omegagfa2.pdf
Those papers that do not fit the focus of the special issue but meet the
quality of OMEGA will be refereed as a regular OMEGA submission.
Deadline
The submission deadline is December 31, 2010. The Special Issue
is scheduled for publication in 2012.
