The latest issue of the Journal of Data Analytics and Intelligent Decision Making (JDAID) highlights the increasing importance of data-driven and smart approaches to handling complex decisions in organizations and society. As data volume, speed, and diversity grow, making effective decisions relies more on careful analysis paired with smart modeling and clarity. The contributions in this issue show this change by providing methods and real-world insights in areas like data analysis, machine learning, intelligent systems, and decision support. They focus on relevance, strength, and practical use. JDAID sits at the crossroads of analysis and decision science. It encourages research that goes beyond just being technically interesting to show how analytical insights lead to better decision quality, system performance, and organizational learning. The studies published in this issue emphasize the role of evidence-based intelligence in helping with strategic, operational, and policy-level decisions. As a quarterly journal published in English, JDAID is dedicated to strict peer review, ethical publishing, and international scholarly interaction. We invite academics, researchers, and postgraduate students to submit original, impactful papers that contribute to both theoretical growth and practical outcomes in the journal’s main areas.
