International Abstracts in Operations Research is an official publication of the International Federation of Operational Research Societies.
The journal was established in 1961 by the Operations Research Society of America with Herbert P. Galliher as the first editor-in-chief. The first issue appeared in November 1961. In 1969 responsibility for its production was transferred to the International Federation of Operational Research Societies. The journal is now mainly used as an online database but a printed edition is still produced annually.
IAOR Online includes abstracts from approximately 180 different journals in each volume. The journals produced by the member societies and the major commercial publications in the field, are abstracted in full. Other journals are scanned regularly and abstracts selected, while others provide occasional abstracts.

Operations research, often shortened to the initialism OR, is a discipline that deals with the development and application of analytical methods to improve decision-making. It is considered to be a subfield of mathematical sciences. The term management science is occasionally used as a synonym.
An operational definition specifies concrete, replicable procedures designed to represent a construct. In the words of American psychologist S.S. Stevens (1935), "An operation is the performance which we execute in order to make known a concept." For example, an operational definition of "fear" often includes measurable physiologic responses that occur in response to a perceived threat. Thus, "fear" might be operationally defined as specified changes in heart rate, galvanic skin response, pupil dilation, and blood pressure.
