The International Journal of Business Intelligence Research (IJBIR) is a peer-reviewed publication dedicated to exchanging the latest academic research and applications on all aspects of managing Business Intelligence (BI) in organizations. IJBIR serves to improve the role, scope, and impact of BI on decision making and to provide a mechanism for sharing research to a global audience. We have witnessed big and fast changes in the field. Initially dedicated mainly to produce reports to make information available for decision makers, thus more focused on descriptive analytics, it is now a multidisciplinary area, involving topics such as data visualization, and the integration of predictive and prescriptive analytics as full components of the architectures of BI systems, among other relevant topics. The focus on the famous triad Business Processes + Persons + Technologies, and its several interactions is of fundamental importance in this context. 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 the research and reporting of 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 qualitative, quantitative, and mixed approaches to research. The journal encourages contributions using methodologies such as Case Studies, Action Research, Design Science Research, Grounded-Theory, or Delphi. Literature reviews are also welcome since it is important to have access to the state-of-art of the several areas in the discipline.
