The Journal of Operations Intelligence (JOPI) interacts in many scientific fields of vital importance and publishes high-quality research papers. These fields include intelligent systems, decision making, decision support systems, computational intelligence, expert systems, information science, knowledge-based systems, soft computing, and artificial intelligence. JOPI is an international, peer-reviewed journal focused on publishing research that applies these techniques to address real-world complexities.

JOPI publishes papers in operations intelligence and its applications across engineering, business, transportation, logistics, finance, marketing, accounting, auditing, energy, economics, defense, law, procurement, project management, risk management, information management, waste management, information retrieval, crisis management, stock trading, strategic management, data science, network management, telecommunications, space, marine operations, business analytics, healthcare, chemistry, human resources management, production management, archaeology, digital technology, sustainable mining, and sustainable management.

JOPI publishes research articles, reviews, short communications, and case studies. Research articles must include:

• Motivation for the work
• Overview of representative work with up-to-date references
• Clear statement of novelty
• Suitable theoretical background
• Examples to demonstrate ideas
• Conclusions

Short communications: 4-7 pages; Research articles and case studies: 8-14 pages; Reviews: longer. Page limits are flexible with proper justification. Authors must follow the article template available here.

If extensions of previously published conference papers are submitted, editors verify sufficient new material is added to meet journal standards. Expansions of key ideas, examples, or elaborations are required; new results are desirable but not mandatory.

The principal aim of JOPI is to bring together the latest research and development in intelligent systems, decision making, decision support systems, computational intelligence, expert systems, information science, knowledge-based systems, soft computing, and artificial intelligence. Authors should consult the Aims and Scope page for guidance, though submissions are not limited to these topics.
