International Journal of Advances in Production Research (IJAPR) has started its publication life with this issue. As a result of requests from the Production Research community, the Production Research Association has taken this decision. The journal's aims, scope, policies, etc. are explained in the several sections of the journal website.
As a publishing policy, it has been adopted that the first issue would be devoted to manuscrips provided by invited authors. Well esteemed researchers, leading ones, in their fields, gladly accepted our invitation and showed their support by allowing their articles to be published in our journal.
To our precious colleagues below,
Prof. Dr. Duc T. Pham, Birmingham University, UK
Prof. Dr. Gül E. Kremer, University of Dayton, USA
Prof. Dr. William Fisher, University of California, USA
Prof. Dr. Gerhardt Detlef, Ruhr University-Bochum. Germany
