5. Conclusion
A survey of 329 survey articles in OR/MS reveals a number of trends. First, there is growth in literature reviews over the last 15 years as the breadth, depth and application of OR/MS continues to change and expand. Second, there is fair concentration of topical coverage in the broad field or OR/MS, focusing on supply chain and logistics, sustainability, and scheduling. Third, there seems to be some mismatch in what is being published in leading OR/MS outlets, and what literature is being surveyed and summarized. A reconciliation of these two streams would benefit the OR/MS community.
