International Journal of Business Intelligence Research (IJBIR)

The International Journal of Business Intelligence Research (IJBIR) is a peer-reviewed publication dedicated to exchanging the latest research and applications, from the academy and the industry, on all aspects of the use of Business Intelligence (BI) in organizations. BI can be presented as an architecture, tool, technology, or system that gathers and stores data, analyzes it using analytical tools, and delivers information and/or knowledge, facilitating reporting, querying, and ultimately, allowing organizations to improve decision making. We have witnessed significant and fast changes in the field. Initially more focused on descriptive analytics, BI systems were dedicated mainly to producing reports to make information available to decision makers. BI is now a multidisciplinary area. Topics such as data visualization and dashboards and the integration of predictive and prescriptive analytics as components of the architectures of BI systems, among other topics, are relevant to the field and worth being considered for research. The more traditional topics related to data warehouse design, modelling and implementation, business analytics and business process management environments, interfaces evaluation, and the critical factors for BI are still relevant for research. Focusing on the Information Systems triad “Business Processes + Persons + Technologies” and its several interactions is also vital in this context.

The mission of the International Journal of Business Intelligence Research (IJBIR) is to advance research in the field of Business Intelligence (BI), providing a global forum for discussing diverse aspects and issues that affect the field, as presented above. IJBIR is a peer-reviewed publication dedicated to exchanging the latest ideas and research on all aspects of managing and using BI in organizations. IJBIR intends to potentiate the discussion on the role, scope, and impact of BI on the decision-making process. It also aims to provide a mechanism for sharing research with a global audience. IJBIR takes a multidisciplinary approach to the examination of the BI field.

This journal promotes submissions that address the theories and practices that impact the field from all regions of the world.

This journal publishes original research by academic, business, and government contributors on strategies, governance, tools, applications, techniques, and technologies for BI. Providing a global forum for researching and reporting diverse aspects and issues that affect BI, IJBIR targets researchers, practitioners, academicians, knowledge management researchers, and other industry-related experts. The journal examines all aspects of the BI field, including organizational and social issues, technological developments, educational issues, and analytical techniques that foster or inhibit evidence-based decision-making in organizations.

The journal accepts the submission of manuscripts using quantitative research approaches as well as qualitative and mixed approaches. IJBIR encourages contributions using methodologies such as Case Studies, Action Research, Design Science Research, Grounded-Theory, or Delphi. Systematic literature reviews are also welcomed. High-quality submissions are encouraged using qualitative, quantitative, or mixed research methodologies and methods.
