Trends in Decision Analysis: A Reflection on the First 20 Years of the Journal

Abstract

With the start of 2024, Decision Analysis has now completed 20 full years of publication. As the current Editor-in-Chief, I wanted to take this opportunity to reflect on the themes that have occupied scholars in the field, and how they have changed over time. I have taken as my starting point the most heavily cited articles in each year (or most heavily downloaded, for 2023, for which citation information is not yet meaningful).
