Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, as the world economy has grown to be increasingly service-oriented, such services have begun to play a more significant role in the supply chain. The application of advanced analytical methods, ranging from various programming models and stochastic optimization to game-theoretical models, is called upon to help service supply chain members to make better decisions. For this purpose, we invite you to submit your latest research in the area of service supply chains to this Special Issue, “Mathematical Modelling and Optimization of Service Supply Chain”, in the journal Mathematics. We are looking for innovative approaches to the modeling and optimization of service supply chains. In addition, high-quality papers are solicited to address both theoretical and practical issues in the service supply chain. Submissions are welcome that present new theoretical results, structural investigations, new models and algorithmic approaches, as well as empirical research on the service supply chain. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, sustainable tourism, medical care, education, e-commerce, logistics, and supply chain finance.
Prof. Dr. Yong He

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Mathematics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
