Objectives
Papers published in IJADS should not only meet high standards of research rigour and originality, but also embrace managerial relevance. The principal objective of the journal is to establish an effective channel of communication between policy makers, government agencies, practicing managers, academic and research institutions and persons concerned with the practical applications of decision sciences. IJADS is interested but not confined to papers that focus on one or more of the following dimensions:
- Define new problem domains in managerial decision-making
- Develop new methodologies to formulate decision problems
- Apply decision sciences and/or information systems methods uniquely to interesting problems.
Readership
The audience for IJADS includes anyone interested in practical aspects of decision sciences and information systems. Because decision sciences and information systems are highly interdisciplinary, our audience includes the research community specialists and practitioners who work as consultants or in-house experts in business, industry, and government and those who study or teach courses in decision sciences, information systems, or related disciplines in academia.

IJADS publishes original papers, review papers, technical reports, case studies, management reports, book reviews, notes, and commentaries. Special Issues devoted to important topics in decision sciences and information systems will occasionally be published.
