Peer Review Policy

The International Journal of Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science, Management and Technology is committed to maintaining the highest standards of academic integrity and quality in its publications. To achieve this, all submissions undergo a rigorous peer review process.

Key Features of the Peer Review Process:

  1. Initial Screening
    Upon submission, manuscripts are evaluated by the editorial team to ensure they align with the journal's scope, comply with submission guidelines, and meet basic quality standards. Manuscripts that fail to meet these criteria may be desk-rejected without further review.

  2. Double-Blind Peer Review
    The journal employs a double-blind peer review process, ensuring that:

    • Reviewers do not know the identity of the authors.
    • Authors do not know the identity of the reviewers. This process ensures impartiality and fairness in the evaluation of manuscripts.

  3. Selection of Reviewers
    Reviewers are selected based on their expertise in the relevant field. The journal maintains a diverse pool of qualified reviewers to provide thorough and constructive feedback.

  4. Criteria for Review
    Reviewers evaluate manuscripts based on the following criteria:

    • Originality and significance of the research.
    • Clarity and coherence of the manuscript.
    • Soundness of methodology and data analysis.
    • Relevance to the journal’s scope.
    • Adherence to ethical standards, including proper citation of sources and avoidance of plagiarism.

  5. Review Outcomes
    Based on reviewers’ feedback, the editorial team makes one of the following decisions:

    • Accept: The manuscript is accepted without revisions.
    • Minor Revisions: Authors are required to address minor issues before final acceptance.
    • Major Revisions: Substantial revisions are required, and the revised manuscript may undergo another round of review.
    • Reject: The manuscript does not meet the journal’s standards or falls outside its scope.

  6. Timeliness
    The journal aims to complete the peer review process within a specified time frame, typically 4–8 weeks, to ensure timely communication with authors.

  7. Ethical Considerations
    The journal follows the guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) to uphold ethical standards in the peer review process. Reviewers are required to:

    • Maintain confidentiality.
    • Declare any conflicts of interest.
    • Provide objective and constructive feedback.

  8. Appeals
    Authors may appeal editorial decisions by providing a detailed justification. Appeals are reviewed by the editorial board, and their decision is final.

The International Journal of Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science, Management and Technology is dedicated to ensuring that the peer review process is transparent, fair, and efficient, promoting the publication of high-quality research.
