Purpose: The main objective of this research is to present an agile data management system for the intelligent banking industry, by leveraging agile principles, the proposed system aims to support banks in generating data-driven value and smart banking.Method: The research is grounded in the principles of systems thinking, data-centricity, lean thinking, and the agile manifesto. With a practical and developmental purpose, it employs deduction and exploration to draw conclusion. The methodology combines design science and meta-synthesis. Following the design science process, explaining the problem, describing the solution, designing initial solution (using meta-synthesis) validating the solution, and then sharing the results were all steps in the study.Findings: The results consist of codes organized into four-tier structure: design domain, theme, category, axial code, and open code. These are presented as a conceptual model-compromising level zero and level one- which serves as the reference model for an agile data management system for smart banking.Conclusion: An agile data management system, like any other system, it is essential to consider the data management system as having four elements: input (goals), processing (enablers), output (results), and feedback (based on agile and lean thinking). The banking industry has been slow to adopt new technologies, with many banks still reliant on mainframes. This hesitation stems partly from increased caution due to rising cyber-attacks and partly from concerns about regulatory requirements. The proposed model addresses banks' concerns by demonstrating how to integrate agile methods into a data management system for a smart bank.

Purpose: This study systematically reviews the advantages and disadvantages of using ChatGPT in higher education.Method: This systematic review adheres to PRISMA guidelines. The search was conducted using the terms "ChatGPT" and "chatbot" for the years 2021–2024 in Google Scholar, ResearchGate, Web of Science, and PubMed via Publish or Perish (version 8). A total of 365 records were retrieved, and after screening, 35 relevant studies were included.Findings: The analysis indicate that 66% of the reviewed studies highlighted the benefits of ChatGPT in higher education, including enhancements in cognitive and learning skills, support for research and writing, improvements in language and communication, and automation of certain tasks to increase efficiency. Additionally, advantages such as 24/7 availability, quick responses, topic diversity, privacy, and easy access to past interactions were noted. Among the advantages that received the most attention are optimization of academic training, enhancement of cognitive and learning skills, and assistance in the research and development process. However, 75% of the studies discussed disadvantages, including concerns about plagiarism, ethical issues, negative perceptions, lack of audiovisual communication, absence of human interaction, technical limitations, and restricted multi-dimensional engagement. Among the most prominent disadvantages are ethical concerns, plagiarism, and lack of uniformity in responses.Conclusion: While ChatGPT offers significant benefits in education, its limitations require careful consideration to ensure responsible and effective use. Specifically, to address these disadvantages, practical measures such as the development of policies and ethical guidelines should be implemented to ensure responsible and optimal use of this technology in education.

For years, virtual learning has been proposed as a dominant approach to overcome the limitations of traditional education. The spread of emerging technologies and the connection of citizens to the Internet has made virtual courses much more accesible than before. As the citizens of the third millennium refer to electronic shopping centers to purchase their goods, they expect to receive the instruction they require through virtual means. This trend, along with the increasing expectations, has created a gap between the current and the desired situation in the education process. Digital content management is considered as a facilitator to respond to emerging requirements. In this article, while explaining the dimensions of transformation in Virtual learning, the importance of digital content management in improving the effectiveness of virtual learning has been emphasized. The article would be a starting point for further research on the integration of digital content management in the virtual learning process.

The term “virtual” has been associated with real-world businesses and entities in recent years. Until a few years ago, the notion of “virtual” encompassed spaces such as websites, information networks, digital libraries, etc. But today, most of the citizens' time is spent in completely virtual spaces. Stores, businesses, monetary and financial activities, leisure and entertainment, etc. are all being transferred to cyberspace. The rapid pace of joining cyberspace has created a state of disharmony and exhaustion among businesses, especially large organizations. Many of them have embarked on digital transformation and implemented some programs, however, this process does not seem to be sufficiently tailored to meet the requirements, and organizations are to see “virtual transformation” as a complementary action and umbrella plan to cover sparse actions on their agenda. In this article, the concept of virtual transformation and its requirements and phases are briefly explained. Attempts have been made to look into the virtual transformation from different dimensions and to identify and introduce its key actors as well. The six steps presented in this article are deemed to provide useful insights for managers on their virtual transformation journey. The content of the article also can be seen as a starting point for extensive studies on the concept of virtual transformation.

Virtual reality (VR) transcends the boundaries of the disciplines and lifestyles of different generations. The entanglement of digital content with the capabilities of artificial intelligence, graphic simulation, cultural coordinates, and economics has given rise to an amalgam of methods. The reality that is virtual, the virtual that is real. This multiplicity has caused content management to face unprecedented challenges and new avenues. New developments have been presented as an exceptional opportunity for specialists in various fields, especially information science. Interacting with VR requires accurate knowledge and sufficient competencies. Academic alumni, professionals, and leading researchers all think about how to interact effectively with VR and the resulting world. The emergence of metaphors such as Metaverse and serious public participation in cyberspace has necessitated the wise management of digital content following new developments and disciplines. In this paper, the characteristics of VR , including features, applications, and content management requirements for this new approach are explained.

Although digital content is a widely institutionalized reality at the present age, its management issues and challenges have not been sufficiently explained. One of the most important deterrents to effective digital content management (DCM) is a single-dimensional, disciplinary and sectoral perspective to this multidimensional concept. Digital content management is a multifaceted concept and the best option to deal with this multi-modal phenomenon is an inter-disciplinary and hyperdisciplinary approach. A range of legal, commercial, psychological, sociological, linguistic, computational, and ethical issues are intertwined with digital content management. Each of these issues, in addition to having a solution in one field of study or cognitive area, is also related to various fields of study. This has made digital content management issues a fluid and ever-changing entity. This paper strives to explain the interdisciplinary nature of this concept. In this regard, six main aspects of digital content management were explained including theory, instrument, individual, society, framework, and content. Explaining each of these aspects introduces a common ground for interdisciplinary collaboration. It is concluded that an effective digital content management initiative is possible only through cooperation and synergy on knowledge sharing from various related fields of study.

Purpose: Relatively much research has been done into theorizing and its importance. However, the number of studies related to the understanding of contexts is very negligible and so far no framework has been provided including indicators and evaluation methods. This research has been done with the aim of achieving the indicators related to theorizing and subsequently presenting a formula to measure the potential and theorizing capacity of scientific institutes.Method: Library and field methods have been used to collect information. Data were first collected through a checklist and then through the AHP questionnaire. The questionnaire was distributed among experts and the AHP method was used to analyze the data. Expert Choice software was used to analyze the data obtained from the AHP questionnaire.Findings: The results indicate that the individual index is 9 times more important than the non-individual index in the theorizing process. Pairwise comparison of individual sub-indices showed that "awareness of theorizing" and "research ability” have an equal portion in theorizing. The "coherence of personality traits" is sextuple as important as the "awareness of theorizing”. "Coherence of personality traits" up to sextuple "research ability" can be considered important in the theorizing process. Pairwise comparison of non-individual index sub-indices showed that "communication level" is twice as important as "institutional index level". However, the “effect level" is twice as important as the "communication level". The "communication level" is 7 times more important than the "management index level". The "effect level" can be considered 7 times more important than the "institutional index level". "Institutional index level" is quadruple more important than "management index level". The "effect level" is extremely important compared to the "management index level".Conclusion: Although theorizing is done by a researcher or a group of researchers, ultimately, it is a collective matter, or at least, several components are involved in its formation. Theorizing is a coherent, dynamic, purposeful, and thoughtful practice whose results can lead researchers to recognize the credible generalizable relationship between causes and effects. Finally, the formula Tp= (0.9I + 0.1NI) was presented, which can be used to assess the capacity of theorizing in institutes.

Advances in information and communication technology (ICT) have accelerated the transformation process of entities from physical to more conceptual formalities. Entering the world of concepts, on the one hand, has transformed the relations between beings, and on the other hand, has facilitated the grounds for fundamental changes in human communication. A twenty-first-century person is a semantic human being who, along with all physical conceptions of the phenomena in his life, has also a virtual and semantic conception in his mind. The semantic embodiment of all phenomena has caused emotions, feelings, interactions, businesses, etc. to become multifaceted phenomena. E-learning, e-commerce, virtual meetings, virtual stores, etc. all represent the emergence of another sphere within the physical world. This world is the world of meanings and concepts. The world of meanings is closely related to content. A human being on the earth without an electronic identity and without the presence in electronic spaces is gradually becoming unthinkable. The advent of cyberspace has more to do with the concept of digitalization. No entity can enter cyberspace without digitization. The first condition for being in cyberspace is to have a virtual alternative. If any books, magazines, persons, schools, universities, governments, associations, and any other entities, is to appear in the virtual world, they must first be digitized. For this reason, digitalization and digital content management is a constant issue in the age of knowledge. In this article, which was specifically written on the occasion of the first issue of the International Journal of Digital Content Management (IJDCM), an attempt has been made to elaborate on the evolution of digital content and to provide a framework for content management in the knowledge. The key concepts mentioned in the article are also meant as indicators of the content orientation of the journal.
