RAIRO – Operations Research reports a 17% rise in its Impact Factor to 2.1, accompanied by an 11.1% increase in CiteScore to 4.0. These gains reflect the journal’s position as a trusted source for advances in optimisation, stochastic modelling, and decision analytics. We thank our authors, reviewers, and readers for sustaining the journal’s momentum and welcome new research that addresses both theoretical and applied challenges.

While citation indicators are useful, we remain committed to a balanced view of research quality, one that values methodological soundness, practical relevance, and long-term scholarly influence above headline numbers alone.
