About the Journal

Management Analytics and Social Insights (MASI) is an international, interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed, open-access journal published by REA Press. Launched in 2024, MASI provides a scholarly forum for research that advances analytical, computational, empirical, and behavioral approaches to managerial and organizational decision-making.

Aims and scope: MASI welcomes work in management analytics, data-driven decision-making, business analytics, operations and decision sciences, optimization, multiple-criteria decision-making, artificial intelligence in management, and social or behavioral insights relevant to managerial, organizational, operational, or policy decisions. Studies centered on artificial intelligence, mathematics, or computer science should make an explicit contribution to management, business, operations, decision support, policy, or social applications.

Article types: The journal considers original research articles, review articles, systematic reviews, methodological articles, case studies, and well-grounded conceptual or perspective articles that fit the journal's scope.

Peer review: All submissions undergo an initial editorial and technical screening. Manuscripts that meet the journal's requirements are evaluated through double-blind peer review, normally by at least two independent experts. Editorial decisions are based on scholarly quality, methodological rigor, originality, relevance, and research integrity.

Open access, copyright, and self-archiving: All articles are freely available immediately upon publication. Authors retain copyright and grant MASI the right of first publication under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0). Authors may deposit and share the published version in institutional, subject, or other repositories and on personal or institutional websites, with appropriate citation of the version of record.

Publication frequency and fees: MASI is published quarterly, with four issues per year. There are no article processing charges (APCs), submission fees, or publication fees.

Research integrity: Submissions are screened using iThenticate or comparable similarity-detection software. Similarity reports are assessed by the editorial team with attention to the nature, extent, and source of overlap rather than by relying only on a fixed numerical threshold. The journal's editorial and publication practices are guided by recognized principles of publication ethics and the COPE Core Practices.
