Aims and scope

The Journal of Operations Intelligence (JOPI) is an international, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to research at the intersection of intelligent systems and operational decision-making. JOPI’s distinctive focus is on studies that integrate methods from computational intelligence, decision science, and operations management to address real-world operational challenges. The journal encourages work that demonstrates both methodological innovation and direct applicability to complex, dynamic environments.

JOPI aims to advance the understanding and application of operations intelligence by publishing research that:

  • Combines decision-making frameworks with adaptive and explainable intelligent systems to support complex operational tasks.

  • Applies cross-disciplinary approaches that merge engineering, data analytics, and management science.

  • Provides solutions that are transferable across sectors and adaptable to changing conditions.

  • Examines the responsible use of intelligent systems in decision-critical contexts.

The journal welcomes studies that present new theories, models, algorithms, applications, and case studies in a wide range of domains, including engineering, business, transportation, logistics, finance, marketing, accounting, auditing, energy, economics, defense, law, procurement and contracting, project management, risk management, information management, waste management, crisis management, stock trading, strategic management, data science, network management, telecommunications, space, marine operations, healthcare, chemistry, human resources, production management, archaeology, digital technology, sustainable mining, and sustainable management.

By focusing on the integration of intelligent technologies with operational decision-making, JOPI offers a unique platform for research that delivers practical and measurable benefits to industry, government, and society.
