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: firstly, 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.
Topics covered include
- Basic/advanced statistics, Bayesian networks, queuing theory
- Data warehousing/mining
- Dempster-Shafer theory, mathematical programming
- Fuzzy sets/logic, genetic algorithms, neural networks
- Game theory, machine leaning, OLAP, rough set theory, SVM
- Quality control, alternative (authentic) assessment
- Bottleneck and content analysis
- Case studies, cross-case/within-case displays, document studies
- Focus groups, interviews, key informants, observations
- Grounded theory, making good sense, narrative summary analyses
- Matrix displays, responsibility charts, triangulation, influence diagrams
- Balanced scorecard, benchmarking, stakeholder analysis
- Business process models/reengineering, strategy
- Computer simulation, data envelopment analysis, Pareto analysis
- Decision support systems, decision theory, knowledge management

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.
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.
