Editorial Board contributions celebrating the 60th Anniversary of IJPR: Part 3

This year, the International Journal of Production Research (IJPR) published its 60th volume. In issues 1 and 2 of 2022, we have presented part 1 and part 2 of the special issuewith papers by Editorial Boardmembers, explaining the vision of the Board on new research directions and more challenging issues we have to consider in the journal in the near future. This issue completes those articles with the last part of the special issue by the Board members. Several other special issues of the journal have also either already appeared in the anniversary volume or are under review and will be published soon. I invite you to check the journal web site: www.tandfonline.com/journals/tprs20 regularly, and enjoy our outstanding publications.
