Conference Announcement
Qualitative Research For Policy Making 2010
14 - 15 January 2010
Malta
more details

Many current data analysis techniques are beyond the reach of most managers and practitioners. Obscure maths and daunting algorithms have created an impassable chasm for problem solvers and decision makers. IJDATS bridges three gaps: first, a gap between academic ivory tower and the real world; secondly, a gap between quantitative data analysis techniques and qualitative data analysis techniques; and finally, a gap between a specific technique and an overall strategy.

 Go Top  Objectives

The objectives of IJDATS are to promote discussions, deliberations and debates on different data analysis principles, architectures, techniques, methodologies, models, as well as the appropriate strategies and applications for various decision-making environments. Two main data analysis schools of thoughts, in terms of quantitative and qualitative, can intersect, interchange, and integrate their ideas. Practitioners can learn the down-to-earth practice. Certainly, quantitative data analysis techniques are very important. However, qualitative data analysis techniques cannot be ignored. In this effort, a best fit, if any, may be found between a strategy and a specific data analysis technique.

 Go Top  Readership

IJDATS presents a forum to help professionals, researchers and policy makers to exchange their innovative ideas and functional experiences. It also creates a bridge between practitioners and academics to discuss challenges and opportunities in all aspects of data analysis. It further establishes an interface between two main data analysis schools of thoughts, with respect to quantitative and qualitative analysis.
