Location analysis of EurOMA conference contributions

Operations Management journal rankings are frequently published. Information on Operations Management conferences is much harder to find. This may be due to the difficulties of ranking conferences as well as due to the different motives that contributors to conferences have. In this paper we perform exploratory analysis to determine for one specific conference (EurOMA) who has typically contributed to these conferences. Our analysis focus is on the location of contributors, i.e. country and affiliation. We found that the United Kingdom, Italy and Brazil contribute most authors and papers to the EurOMA conferences. Countries such as Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands, Sweden are also important contributors. Highest contributing universities include the University of Sao Paulo, Cranfield University, the University of Cambridge and Politecnico di Milano. People who plan to attend the EurOMA conferences can, based on this, expect authors and papers from these countries and universities.
