Introducing the INFORMS Journal on Data Science (IJDS): Data + Models + Decisions + Implications

• Galit Shmueli (National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan)

The INFORMS Journal on Data Science (IJDS) publishes top innovative and potentially impactful data science methodologies contributing to decision making in business, management, and industry. Opened since Fall 2020, with the first issue is expected in early 2022, the IJDS aims to become a top journal in business schools and IE departments. Data science research for decision-making environments is motivated by decision-making challenges and the availability of new types of data. The IJDS welcomes manuscripts on research motivated by a relevant, real-world decision making challenge, and that introduces a novel data science methodology or approach where data is focal. This combination distinguishes IJDS papers from those suitable for data science journals in other disciplines as well as from domain-based journals.
