About the Journal

Aims and Scope

The International Journal of Smart Thinking and Decision (IJSTD) is a peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary journal dedicated to advancing research, theory, and practical applications in the fields of smart thinking, decision-making processes, and cognitive sciences. The journal provides a platform for the publication of high-quality research that addresses the challenges and opportunities related to decision-making in complex, dynamic, and uncertain environments.

Scope:

IJSTD welcomes original research articles, reviews, case studies, and theoretical papers that focus on, but are not limited to, the following areas:

  1. Smart Thinking Systems: Exploration of cognitive models, algorithms, and methodologies for enhancing intelligent decision-making, including artificial intelligence, machine learning, and neural networks.

  2. Cognitive Science and Decision Theory: Interdisciplinary studies on human decision-making processes, including psychological, behavioral, and neuroscientific perspectives.

  3. Decision Support Systems (DSS): Research on the design, development, and evaluation of systems that assist individuals or organizations in making well-informed decisions in complex and data-rich environments.

  4. Data-Driven Decision Making: The role of big data, analytics, and data science in supporting effective decision-making processes across various sectors, including business, healthcare, finance, and public policy.
