2005年，《信息技术杂志》的文章《决策支持系统研究的批判性分析》分析了从1990年到2003年的1020篇决策支持系统(DSS)文章。自2003年以来，商业智能(BI)和商业分析在实践中越来越受欢迎。在理论和研究方面，自2003年以来，决策理论、正统观念以及对设计科学的编纂和接受都发生了变化。为了调查决策支持系统领域的变化，从以前的文献分析中得出了一些期望。这些期望通过文献计量学内容分析进行了评估。截至2010年的文章样本目前包括来自16种期刊的1466篇文章。对预期的分析对DSS领域产生了好坏参半的结果。不利的一面是，决策支持系统的出版总体下降，在期刊上发表的决策支持系统研究与信息技术专业人员的相关性下降，决策支持系统研究设计的严谨性没有改善。积极的一面是，与管理人员的相关性有所改善，对决策支持系统研究的赠款资金增加，判断和决策基础发生积极变化，商业智能出版增加，团体支助系统出版减少到更平衡的水平。分析过去7年的DSS研究的一个重要结果是，DSS设计科学研究(DSR)的显著增加，几乎占已发表论文的一半。从分析中可以清楚地看出，决策支持系统正在从一个以统计假设检验和概念研究为基础的领域过渡到一个以DSR为最流行方法的领域。
In 2005 the Journal of Information Technology article 'A critical analysis of decision support systems research' analyzed 1020 decision support systems (DSS) articles from 1990 to 2003. Since 2003 business intelligence (BI) and business analytics have gained popularity in practice. In theory and research the period since 2003 has seen a change in the decision-making theory orthodoxy and the codification and acceptance of design science. To investigate the changes in the DSS field, a number of expectations were derived from previous literature analyses. These expectations were assessed using bibliometric content analysis. The article sample to 2010 now includes 1466 articles from 16 journals. The analysis of the expectations yields mixed results for the DSS field. On the negative side, there has been an overall decline in DSS publishing, the relevance of DSS research published in journals to IT professionals has declined, and the rigor of DSS research designs has not improved. On the positive side, there has been improvement in relevance to managers, grant funding of DSS research has increased, there has been a positive shift in judgment and decision-making foundations, BI publishing has increased, and group support systems publishing has reduced to a more balanced level. An important result from the analysis of the last 7 years of DSS research is the significant increase in DSS design-science research (DSR) to almost half of published articles. It is clear from the analysis that DSS is undergoing a transition from a field based on statistical hypothesis testing and conceptual studies to one where DSR is the most popular method.
