Decision Analysis
http://da.pubs.informs.org/

Decision Analysis is dedicated to advancing the theory, application, and teaching of all aspects of decision analysis. The primary focus of the journal is to develop and study operational decision-making methods, drawing on all aspects of decision theory and decision analysis, with the ultimate objective of providing practical guidance for decision makers. As such, the journal aims to bridge the theory and practice of decision analysis, facilitating communication and the exchange of knowledge among practitioners and researchers in academia, business, industry, and government. Articles will contribute to these goals in many ways, using a wide variety of methods and approaches. For example, articles might discuss new or existing algorithms, procedures, or processes for implementing decision analysis; develop new theory or empirical studies related to cognitive, organizational, or social issues that have implications for decision analysis; propose and test innovative uses of information technology to perform decision analysis; or raise issues related to the application of decision analysis in real-world situations. Articles should generally remain faithful to the intellectual foundations of decision theory and decision analysis. However, the journal welcomes original contributions that genuinely challenge the field, for example by showing how concepts, ideas, and methods from other fields can improve the theory or practice of decision analysis. The journal also publishes articles that review and summarize important topics or advances of interest to decision analysts or that provide original historical, scholarly, or practical perspectives on the field. In addition, the journal encourages articles that support the teaching of best practices, such as state-of-the-art applications, case studies, and tutorial articles on decision-analysis methods.
