Aims (old version):

Analytics (ISSN: 2813-2203) is an international, open access journal dedicated to publishing high-quality research on theoretical, methodological, and technological aspects of systematic computational data analysis. The journal provides an interdisciplinary forum for discussing data analytics in regard to science and engineering.

The aim is to contribute to consolidating the discipline of data analytics from the following perspectives:

• Data analytics science: research and development of formal techniques that contribute to the quality of data analysis.
• Data analytics engineering: analysis, design, implementation, and deployment of data analytics projects.
