TOTAL WORKING PAPERS: 781An Explanation. Book of working papers are to be evaluated by a panel of experts who will have members that can review papers in Operations Research, Operations Management, Organization Behavior, HRM, Information Technology and Systems etc. This is easily possible when papers of diverse subjects are submitted to national/international conference; but here cost of getting papers published are high (with money outflow in form of registration charges for so many papers. At the rate of USD 100 registration fees per paper, for 700 papers USD 70,000 or INR 50 Lakhs are required). It is difficult to find reviewers who are simultaneously experts in such diverse fields.An attempt is made to insure that most of these working papers make an original (it has no data or an experimental investigation on computer or otherwise) contribution to body of knowledge (through extensive literature review) and is free from plagiarism. In other papers we present relevant and brief literature review.For definition of working paper we refer you to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Working_paper. It was given an ISBN number as working paper ID was not available. The purpose is to share these scientific working papers with all and get feedback before submitting these to peer reviewed journal(s) or international or national conference(s).
