Researchers should present their results honestly and without fabrication, falsification or inappropriate data manipulation. A manuscript should contain sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the work. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable. Manuscripts should follow the submission guidelines of the journal.</li> <li style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Originality and Plagiarism: </strong>Authors must ensure that they have written entirely original work. The manuscript should not be submitted concurrently to more than one publication unless the editors have agreed to co- publication. Relevant previous work and publications, both by other researchers and the authors’ own, should be properly acknowledged and referenced. The primary literature should be cited where possible. Original wording taken directly from publications by other researchers should appear in quotation marks with the appropriate citations.</li> <li style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Multiple, Redundant, or Concurrent Publications: </strong>The author should not, in general, submit the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently. It is also expected that the author will not publish redundant manuscripts or manuscripts describing the same research in more than one journal. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Multiple publications arising from a single research project should be clearly identified as such and the primary publication should be referenced</li> <li style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Acknowledgment of Sources: </strong>Authors should acknowledge all sources of data used in the research and cite publications that have been influential in determining the nature of the reported work. Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be given.</li> <li style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Authorship of the Paper: </strong>The authorship of research publications should accurately reflect individuals’ contributions to the work and its reporting. Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to conception, design, execution or interpretation of the reported study. Others who have made significant contributions must be listed as co-authors. In cases where major contributors are listed as authors while those who made less substantial, or purely technical, contributions to the research or to the publication are listed in an acknowledgment section. Authors also ensure that all the authors have seen and agreed to the submitted version of the manuscript and their inclusion of names as co-authors.</li> <li style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest: </strong>All authors should clearly disclose in their manuscript any financial or other substantive conflicts of interest that might be construed to influence the results or interpretation of their manuscript. All sources of financial support for the project should be disclosed.</li> <li style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Fundamental Errors in Published Works: </strong>If the author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in the submitted manuscript, then the author should promptly notify the journal editor or publisher and cooperate with the editor to retract or correct the paper.</li> <li style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Hazards and Human or Animal Subjects: </strong>The author should clearly identify in the manuscript if the work involves chemicals, procedures or equipment that have any unusual hazards inherent in their use.</li> </ol> <p><strong> </strong><strong>Duties of Reviewers</strong></p> <ol> <li style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Confidentiality: </strong>Information regarding manuscripts submitted by authors should be kept confidential and be treated as privileged information. They must not be shown to or discussed with others except as authorized by the editor.</li> <li style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Acknowledgment of Sources: </strong>Reviewers must ensure that authors have acknowledged all sources of data used in the research. Reviewers should identify relevant published work that has not been cited by the authors. Any statement that an observation, derivation, or argument had been previously reported should be accompanied by the relevant citation. The reviewers should notify the journal immediately if they come across any irregularities, have concerns about ethical aspects of the work, are aware of substantial similarity between the manuscript and a concurrent submission to another journal or a published article, or suspect that misconduct may have occurred during either the research or the writing and submission of the manuscript; reviewers should, however, keep their concerns confidential and not personally investigate further unless the journal asks for further information or advice.</li> <li style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Standards of Objectivity: </strong>Review of submitted manuscripts must be done objectively and the reviewers should express their views clearly with supporting arguments. The reviewers should follow journals’ instructions on the specific feedback that is required of them and unless there are good reasons not to. The reviewers should be constructive in their reviews and provide feedback that will help the authors to improve their manuscript. The reviewer should make clear which suggested additional investigations are essential to support claims made in the manuscript under consideration and which will just strengthen or extend the work</li> <li style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Disclosure and Conflict of Interest: </strong>Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers. In the case of double-blind review, if they suspect the identity of the author(s) notify the journal if this knowledge raises any potential conflict of interest.</li> </ol> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Promptness:</strong> The reviewers should respond in a reasonable time-frame. The reviewers only agree to review a manuscript if they are fairly confident they can return a review within the proposed or mutually agreed time-frame, informing the journal promptly if they require an extension. In the event that a reviewer feels it is not possible for him/her to complete a review of the manuscript within stipulated time then this information must be communicated to the editor so that the manuscript could be sent to another reviewer.</p> </details></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table style="width: 100%;" border="1"> <tbody> <tr> <td><details> <summary><strong>Submission Fees</strong></summary> <p style="text-align: justify;">This journal charges the following author fees.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Article Submission: 0.00 (IRR) <br />Authors are not required to pay an Article Submission Fee.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Article Processing Charge: 0.00 (IRR)<strong><br /></strong>Authors are not required to pay Article Processing Charge.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Article Publication: 0.00 (IRR)<br />If the paper is accepted for publication, authors will not required to pay an Article Publication Fee.</p> </details></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table style="width: 100%;" border="1"> <tbody> <tr> <td><details> <summary><strong>Open Access Policy</strong></summary> <p style="text-align: justify;">This journal provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge.</p> </details></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table style="width: 100%;" border="1"> <tbody> <tr> <td><details> <summary><strong>Copyright and License Statement</strong></summary> <p style="text-align: justify;">The author sends the manuscript with the understanding that if accepted for publication, the copyright of the article belongs to the author and retains publishing rights without restriction.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span class="tlid-translation translation" lang="en"><span title="">Copyright includes the non-exclusive right to reproduce and submit articles in all forms and media, including reprints, photographs, microfilm, and other similar reproductions, as well as translations.</span> <span title="">Reproduction of any part of this journal, its storage in the database and its transmission by all forms of media, such as electronic, electrostatic and mechanical copies, photocopying, recording, magnetic media, etc.</span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span class="tlid-translation translation" lang="en"><span title="">The journal editorial board makes every effort to ensure that no false or misleading data, opinions, or statements are published in the journal.</span> <span title="">Either way, the contents of articles and advertisements published in journals are the sole and exclusive responsibility of each writer and advertiser.</span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span class="tlid-translation translation" lang="en"><span title="">All articles published Open Access will be immediately and permanently free for everyone to read and download.

Artificial intelligence in financial services reduces costs and increases the quality of services; Which is why the use of artificial intelligence is common in many well-known financial companies of the world. Artificial intelligence in financial services has four forms of application. The first one is Artificial Neural Networks, which have underlying rules and act and makes decisions like the human brain. The second case is Expert System, which makes the best decision in financial services based on past experiences and events. The third case is the Genetic Algorithm, which is a simple and practical tool by which the ma-chine can simulate the mechanism of natural selection. The fourth case is fuzzy logic, which reduces errors and makes reliable decisions in financial services due to the high accuracy of the output.</p> Mohsen Hajian, Amir Hajian Copyright (c) 2024 Journal of Business Data Science Research https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 http://jbdsr.com/index.php/home/article/view/12 Tue, 05 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0330 Categorizing Online Advertisements with Machine Learning Models http://jbdsr.com/index.php/home/article/view/13 <p>Advertising segmentation, also known as audience or market segmentation, constitutes a critical facet of marketing. It involves subdividing a large target population into more manageable groups or segments. By employing advertising grouping, businesses can tailor content and keywords to each group of advertisements, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of their marketing efforts. This project explores two machine learning models for advertising grouping, achieving an impressive efficiency rate of over 90%. The study encompasses a dataset of 2000 online advertisements divided into five advertising groups, with 1600 data points used for training and 400 for testing. The results indicate that the Support Vector Classifier (SVC) and Linear Regression (LR) models perform well in the categorization of advertisements.</p> Mohammad Taghi Taghavifard, Pegah Farazmand, Khatereh Farazmand, Saeedreza Jadidi Copyright (c) 2024 Journal of Business Data Science Research https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 http://jbdsr.com/index.php/home/article/view/13 Tue, 05 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0330 Machine Learning based Analysis and Effective Visualization of Mutual Funds Through CUSUM and Clustering http://jbdsr.com/index.php/home/article/view/14 <p>This research paper aims to present an extensive analysis of Large-cap class-A mutual funds spanning a period of 25 years. Using this historical data, the study presents the readers with the observed patterns and trends in these mutual funds. The data has been sourced from two major data repositories for mutual fund and finance data - WRDS (Wharton Research Data Services) and YF (Yahoo Finance). The study uses statistical methodologies like Sharpe Ratio and Volatility and analytical methodologies like CUSUM and Clustering. Along with this quantitative analysis, the paper also encompasses qualitative data like Assets Under Management, Turnover Ratio, and Management Information for all the funds used. This helps gain insights into the influence of these factors on the performance of the mutual funds. This paper mainly discusses how all the aforementioned factors influence the mutual fund trajectories with the help of effective visualizations and machine learning-based analysis over 25 years, hence developing an efficient pipeline.</p> Aditya Maheshwari , Vaidehi Shah, Aakansha Sawhney, Eugene Pinsky Copyright (c) 2024 Journal of Business Data Science Research https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 http://jbdsr.com/index.php/home/article/view/14 Tue, 05 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0330 Artificial Intelligence and the Great Transformation in the Tourism Industry Revolutionizing Travel Services http://jbdsr.com/index.php/home/article/view/19 <p>Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a transformative force in the airline industry, reshaping key aspects such as operational efficiency and customer engagement.
