"When asked to become Editor, I was excited by the opportunity to shape an international journal that contains not just technically excellent research, but research that aims to address the gap between what is possible and what is achieved in Health OR."

"The forthcoming issue (Vol. 45, No. 4) of Socio-Economic Planning Sciences (SEPS) marks the completion of the transition between the outgoing and the incoming editorial teams. After 23 years of service to the journal, Barnett Parker stepped down as the editor-in-chief at the end of 2010. We acknowledge his long-term service to the journal."
