This concept is known as business intelligence (BI) and is one of the most important factors for the success of organizations in the contemporary world. Given the importance of BI, it is necessary to systematically review the research conducted in Iran on it. The purpose of this research is to identify the topics researched in selected journals, analyze the dispersion and frequency of studies, identify research methods, the purpose of articles, the level of analysis of BI research and finally identify research gaps and provide the future research suggestions.

The most used research method was descriptive-survey with 34.57%, the most purpose was practical with 82.71% and the highest level of analysis used was community analysis with 66.66%.
