PEER-REVIEW PROCESS:

The Journal Editors of the Journal of Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science evaluate submitted articles for their relevance, quality, contribution, originality, accuracy, and interest before deciding whether to decline or send them out for review. Articles that are sent for review are distributed to at least two qualified reviewers. The Journal Editors then decide what will be included in the Journal based on the reviewers' assessments and comments.

Submissions are typically assigned a decision of decline or sent for review within two months of receipt. Authors usually receive reviewer feedback and the Editor’s decision on their submission within nine months. However, the timeline for review submission can vary depending on the availability of qualified peer reviewers. If accepted, the submissions are usually published in the next available issue.

The Journal may use software to screen for plagiarism. Authors are not allowed to present any data, text, or theories by others as if they were their own (plagiarism). Proper acknowledgements to other works must be given, including material that is closely copied (near verbatim), summarized and/or paraphrased. Authors must use quotation marks to indicate words taken from another source or for verbatim copying of material, and permissions must be secured for material that is copyrighted.
