Several members of the Working Group have worked intensively on the topic of Ethics and OR through different approaches, and many of them have published in indexed journals of our area. Many of those are on Orcid, Google Scholar, Scopus, but additionally, to combine the EWG’s work, also on https://www.researchgate.net/project/Operational-Research-for-Common-Good .
There are four special issues that deserve to be highlighted since they were centered on the group itself:
– A dedicated issue of EJDP European Journal of Decision Processes 4/1-2 (2016) with contributions of P.L. Kunsch, M. Lemenestrel & Luk Vanwassenhove, U. Reisach, and F. Wenstøp (see PAST PUBLICATIONS)
