+The term ‘Community OR’ was first coined, according to Midgley et al. (2018), in the UK in the mid-1980s at a time when public and private sector OR was in decline (Fildes & Ranyard, 1997), and the Operational Research Society was looking for new application domains for the expertise of its members (Ritchie & Taket, 1994; Rosenhead, 1986).
