IEEE prints author initials before the surname and abbreviates the periodical title. Check the abbreviation for Management Science against your target publication's reference list before submitting.
APA
Davis, F. D., Bagozzi, R. P., & Warshaw, P. R. (1989). User Acceptance of Computer Technology: A Comparison of Two Theoretical Models. Management Science, 35(8), 982-1003. https://doi.org/10.1287/mnsc.35.8.982
APA puts the year directly after the authors, keeps the full journal title in italics, and renders the DOI as a URL.
BibTeX
@article{davis1989,

doi = {10.1287/mnsc.35.8.982}
}The citation key is the first author's surname and the year. Keep it stable once it appears in a draft, because renaming it breaks every cite that used it.
What to verify before you submit
- The volume and page range. Management Science records 13,838 works, and articles published online first can carry a different volume from the final issue. Cite the version you read.
- The abbreviated title. IEEE style uses standard periodical abbreviations, and registry metadata almost always returns the full name instead.
- Author name order. Registry records store full given names; IEEE and APA both want initials, formatted differently from each other.
- Whether the article is open access. This journal is not fully open access, which affects whether a reader can reach the version you cited.
- That the source supports your claim. A correctly formatted reference says nothing about whether the passage backs the sentence citing it.

Questions about Management Science
What is the ISSN of Management Science?
The linking ISSN is 0025-1909. The journal also carries 1526-5501, which usually separate the print and electronic editions. Use the linking ISSN in a BibTeX issn field.
Who publishes Management Science?
Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences publishes it. Check the journal's own author guidance rather than a general publisher template, because reference style is set per title.
Is Management Science open access?
OpenAlex does not record it as fully open access. Some articles may still be open individually, so check the specific article rather than assuming from the journal.
How do I cite an article from Management Science in LaTeX?
Use the BibTeX entry above as the pattern. The entry type is article, the journal field holds the full title, and the citation key davis1989 follows the first author's surname and the year. Brace any acronym in the title so your bibliography style does not lowercase it.
Does Management Science use page numbers or article numbers?
The example article runs from page 982 to 1003, so this journal used page ranges at least for that volume. Newer issues in many journals switched to article numbers, so check the version you are citing.
How influential is Management Science?
Its h-index is 480, above 82% of the journals covered here, and its articles have been cited 1,334,774 times in total. Its two-year mean citedness is 6.27. These are indexing figures, not a judgement of whether a specific article is sound.
Does Management Science have a Journal Impact Factor?
Not one shown here. The Journal Impact Factor is Clarivate's metric, published in Journal Citation Reports and readable only with a JCR subscription, so this page does not restate it. The figures above come from OpenAlex: an h-index of 480 and a two-year mean citedness of 6.27 across 13,838 indexed works, captured on 2026-09-18. Mean citedness averages citations per work over a two-year window, which makes it closer in construction to CiteScore than to the Impact Factor. The three are not interchangeable, so quote whichever one your target venue actually asks for.
