For example, in operational research domains, data analytics have long been promoted as a way to enhance decision-making. This study proposes a comprehensive, normative framework to define explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) for operational research (XAIOR) as a reconciliation of three subdimensions that constitute its requirements: performance, attributable, and responsible analytics. In turn, this article offers in-depth overviews of how XAIOR can be deployed through various methods with respect to distinct domains and applications. Finally, an agenda for future XAIOR research is defined. © 2023 Elsevier B.V.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessDecision AnalysisExplainable Artificial İntelligenceInterpretable Machine LearningXaıXaıorExplainable AI for Operational Research: A defining framework, methods, applications, and a research agendaArticle2-s2.0-8517324669110.1016/j.ejor.2023.09.026Q1
