In this special issue, 23 research papers are published focusing on COVID-19 and operational research solution techniques. First, we detail the process from advertising the call for papers to the point where the best papers are accepted. Then, we provide a summary of each paper focusing on applications, solution techniques and insights for practitioners and policy makers. To provide a holistic view for readers, we have clustered the papers into different groups: transmission, propagation and forecasting, non-pharmaceutical intervention, healthcare network configuration, healthcare resource allocation, hospital operations, vaccine and testing kits, and production and manufacturing. Then, we introduce other possible subjects that can be considered for future research.
在本期特刊中，发表了23篇聚焦于新冠疫情及运筹学求解技术的研究论文。首先，我们详细介绍了从发布征稿启事到录用最佳论文的整个过程。然后，我们对每篇论文进行了总结，重点关注其应用、求解技术以及给从业者和政策制定者带来的见解。为了给读者提供一个全面的视角，我们将这些论文分为不同的类别：传播、扩散与预测；非药物干预；医疗网络配置；医疗资源分配；医院运营；疫苗与检测试剂盒；以及生产与制造。接着，我们介绍了未来研究可考虑的其他可能主题。
