A “Metasurvey” analysis in Operations Research and Management Science: A survey of literature reviews

This manuscript provides a survey of 343 literature reviews of the last 15 years (2000 through 2014) in Operations Research and Management Science. It provides information on journals that are publishing literature reviews, volume trends, geographic sources of literature reviews, and citation analysis for the surveys. It further provides an analysis of topical coverage and relationships between areas of research. Finally, it suggests subject areas that may be ripe for more extensive survey coverage.
