This message is just to make you aware of a workshop taking place the day prior to the INFORMS Annual Meeting 2025 in Atlanta that will be made part of the formal program shortly. The workshop is targeted at authors who plan to submit empirically-based work
to the INFORMS journals listed below in the near future and want to be prepared for new and evolving requirements regarding replication of empirical results. Registration will be through INFORMS and questions can be directed to me. </p>
