Publishing with the American Journal of Data Science and Analytics (AJDSA) offers researchers, practitioners, and innovators a powerful platform to share high-impact work with a global audience. In an era where data-driven insights shape scientific discovery, business strategy, and public policy, AJDSA provides a trusted, peer-reviewed venue that enhances research visibility, credibility, and long-term impact.

AJDSA is more than a journal, it is a growing international community of scholars and professionals dedicated to advancing data science, analytics, and artificial intelligence across disciplines and real-world applications.

Interdisciplinary and Applied Focus

AJDSA strongly encourages interdisciplinary research that bridges data science with diverse application domains. The journal welcomes studies that integrate methods and perspectives from computer science, statistics, engineering, business, healthcare, social sciences, and public policy.

This interdisciplinary orientation enables authors to:

• Address complex, real-world problems using data-driven approaches.
• Combine theoretical innovation with applied analytics and implementation.
• Reach audiences beyond a single academic discipline.

AJDSA is an ideal venue for research that connects algorithms, data, and decision-making across sectors.

Global Reach and Open Access

AJDSA operates under a gold open-access model, ensuring that all published articles are freely available to readers worldwide without subscription or paywall barriers. This significantly enhances the reach, readership, and citation potential of published work.

Through open access:

• Researchers, practitioners, educators, and policymakers can access articles without restrictions.
• Authors benefit from wider dissemination and increased scholarly visibility.
• Research findings can be translated more rapidly into practice and policy.

AJDSA’s open-access approach supports equitable knowledge sharing and global research collaboration.
