Peer Review Process

Manuscripts submitted to this journal must adhere to its focus, scope, and author guidelines and be written in excellent English. We recommend that authors who do not speak English as their first language have their manuscripts proofread for grammar and clarity before submission. Manuscripts submitted must be of scientific merit and/or novelty or make a new contribution to knowledge that is appropriate to the journal's focus and scope. Authors must present their manuscripts truthfully, without fabrication, falsification, plagiarism, or improper data manipulation. All submitted manuscripts must be unique and free from any prior publication. Editors will use iThenticate software to check the similarity of manuscripts in this journal. Peer review is critical to the quality of published manuscripts because it refines key points, identifies errors and gaps, and provides authors with constructive feedback and suggestions. Additionally, it serves as a filter, meticulously scrutinizing research prior to publication. This journal adheres to the traditional single-blind reviewing policy, keeping the reviewer's name hidden from the submitting author at all times. At least two anonymous independent reviewers from the research field will assess your manuscript's quality, contribution, validity, originality, relevance, and presentation of the research findings. The publisher ensures that editors follow best practice guidelines to avoid selecting fraudulent peer reviewers and to ensure a fair, unbiased, and timely peer review process. The editor will consider feedback from peer reviewers when deciding whether to accept or reject your manuscript for publication. Each round of review takes about 8 weeks, and the editor will promptly notify the authors of the results. Each paper's peer-review process can consist of one, two, or three rounds. If the editor deems a manuscript unsuitable for publication in this journal, no correspondence will follow. We will send all correspondence via email, including editor decisions and revision requests. We believe in the integrity of peer review and adhere to the following statement: All published articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening, anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees, and subsequent revision by article authors as needed.

Publication Ethics and Malpractice Statement

Publication Ethics and Malpractice Statement

Research and Social Study Institute (RESSI) is a non-profit international scientific association of distinguished scholars engaged in engineering and science devoted to promoting research and technologies in engineering and science field through digital technology. RESSI Journals are peer-reviewed open-access international journals. By stating these publication ethics and publication malpractice statements, RESSI pledges to ensure best practices in publishing integrity and to manage any malpractice that occurs. Publication malpractice is an unfortunate occurrence in the scholarly literature world. It occurs across all subject areas and jurisdictions, and few journals are immune. Every author, editor, reviewer, publisher, and institution must take responsibility for preventing publication malpractice. This statement is based on major publishers, guidance from the Scopus title evaluation requirements for publication ethics and malpractice statements (PEMS), the declaration on research assessment (DORA), and industry organizations such as:

• Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE)
• World Association of Medical Editors (WAME)
• International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE)
• Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT)

Ethical Guideline for Journal Publication

The publication of an article in this journal is an essential building block in the development of a coherent and respected network of knowledge. It is a direct reflection of the quality of the work of the authors and the institutions that support them. Peer-reviewed articles support and embody the scientific method. It is therefore important to agree upon standards of expected ethical behavior for all parties involved in the act of publishing: the authors, the journal editors, the peer reviewers, the publisher, and the society. 

Research and Social Study Institute (RESSI)  as publisher takes its duties of guardianship over all stages of publishing extremely seriously and we recognize our ethical and other responsibilities. We are committed to ensuring that advertising, reprinting, or other commercial revenue has no impact or influence on editorial decisions. In addition, the RESSI and Editorial Board will assist in communications with other journals and/or publishers where this is useful and necessary.

Allegations of Research Misconduct

Research misconduct means fabrication, falsification, citation manipulation, or plagiarism in producing, performing, or reviewing research and writing articles by authors or in reporting research results. When authors are found to have been involved with research misconduct or other serious irregularities involving articles that have been published in scientific journals, editors have a responsibility to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the scientific record. In cases of suspected misconduct, the editors and editorial board will use the best practices of COPE to assist them in resolving the complaint and addressing the misconduct fairly. This will include an investigation of the allegation by the editors. If the editors discover such misconduct in a submitted manuscript, they will reject it. If a published paper reveals such misconduct, we can publish a retraction and link it to the original article. The first step involves determining the validity of the allegation and assessing whether it is consistent with the definition of research misconduct. This initial step also involves determining whether the individuals alleging misconduct have relevant conflicts of interest. If scientific misconduct or the presence of other substantial research irregularities is a possibility, the allegations are shared with the corresponding author, who, on behalf of all of the coauthors, is requested to provide a detailed response. After the response is received and evaluated, additional review and involvement of experts (such as statistical reviewers) may be obtained. For cases in which it is unlikely that misconduct has occurred, clarifications, additional analyses, or both, published as letters to the editor and often including a correction notice and correction to the published article, are sufficient. Institutions are expected to conduct an appropriate and thorough investigation of allegations of scientific misconduct. Ultimately, authors, editors, publisher, and institutions have an important obligation to ensure the accuracy of the scientific record. By responding appropriately to concerns about scientific misconduct and taking necessary actions based on evaluation of these concerns, such as corrections, retractions with replacement, and retractions, RESSI will continue to fulfill the responsibilities of ensuring the validity and integrity of the scientific record.

Publication decisions

The editors of the RESSI journals are responsible for deciding which of the articles submitted to the journal should be published. The validation of the work in question and its importance to researchers and readers must always drive such decisions. The editors may be guided by the policies of the journal's editorial board and constrained by such legal requirements as shall then be in force regarding libel, copyright infringement and plagiarism. The editors may confer with other editors or reviewers in making this decision.

Complaints and Appeals

This journal has a clear procedure for handling complaints against the journal, editorial staff, editorial board, or publisher. Respected personnel will clarify the complaints based on the specific case. The scope of complaints encompasses all aspects of journal business processes, such as editorial processes, citation manipulation, unfair editor/reviewer practices, and peer-review manipulation, among others. We will process the complaint cases in accordance with COPE guidelines. You should send the complaint cases by email to info@ijarlit.org.

Fair play

An editor at any time evaluates manuscripts for their intellectual content without regard to race, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political philosophy of the authors.

Confidentiality

The editor and any editorial staff must not disclose any information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, potential reviewers, other editorial advisers, and the publisher, as appropriate.

Disclosure and conflicts of interest

Unpublished materials disclosed in a submitted manuscript must not be used in an editor's own research without the express written consent of the author.

Duties of Reviewers

Contribution to Editorial Decisions

Reviewers assist the editor in making editorial decisions. Generally, the editor asks reviewers to treat authors and their work with the respect they deserve and to adhere to proper reviewing etiquette. Peer review is an essential component of formal scholarly communication and lies at the heart of the scientific method. Editorial communications can also aid the author in enhancing the paper.

Promptness

Any selected referee who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the editor and excuse himself from the review process.

Confidentiality

Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. They must not be shown to or discussed with others except as authorized by the editor.

Standards of Objectivity

Reviews should be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. Reviewers should express their views clearly with supporting arguments.

Acknowledgement of Sources

Reviewers should identify relevant published work that has not been cited by the authors. Any statement that an observation, derivation, or argument had been previously reported should be accompanied by the relevant citation. A reviewer should also call to the editor's attention any substantial similarity or overlap between the manuscript under consideration and any other published paper of which they have personal knowledge.

Disclosure and Conflict of Interest

Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.

Duties of Authors

Reporting standards

Authors of reports of original research should present an accurate account of the work performed as well as an objective discussion of its significance. Underlying data should be represented accurately in the paper. A paper should contain sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the work. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable.

Data Access and Retention

Authors are asked to provide the raw data in connection with a paper for editorial review and should be prepared to provide public access to such data (consistent with the ALPSP-STM Statement on Data and Databases), if practicable, and should in any event be prepared to retain such data for a reasonable time after publication.

Originality and Plagiarism

The authors should ensure that they have written entirely original works, and if the authors have used the work and/or words of others that this has been appropriately cited or quoted.

Multiple, Redundant, or Concurrent Publication

An author should not in general publish manuscripts describing essentially the same research in more than one journal or primary publication. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable.

Acknowledgement of Sources

Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be given. Authors should cite publications that have been influential in determining the nature of the reported work.

Authorship of the Paper

Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported study. All those who have made significant contributions should be listed as co-authors. Where there are others who have participated in certain substantive aspects of the research project, they should be acknowledged or listed as contributors. The corresponding author should ensure that all appropriate co-authors and no inappropriate co-authors are included on the paper, and that all co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the paper and have agreed to its submission for publication.

Hazards and Human or Animal Subjects

If the work involves chemicals, procedures or equipment that have any unusual hazards inherent in their use, the author must clearly identify these in the manuscript.

Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest

All authors should disclose in their manuscript any financial or other substantive conflict of interest that might be construed to influence the results or interpretation of their manuscript. All sources of financial support for the project should be disclosed.

Fundamental errors in published works

When an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in his/her own published work, it is the author’s obligation to promptly notify the journal editor or publisher and cooperate with the editor to retract or correct the paper.

Ethical Oversight

In order to follow the rules for ethical research involving people and animals, the author must make it clear in the manuscript if the research involves chemicals, people, animals, procedures, or equipment that have any special risks that come with using them. If required, authors must provide legal ethical clearance from an association or legal organization. If the research involves confidential data and business/marketing practices, authors should clearly justify this matter, whether the data or information will be hidden securely or not.

The peer-review process/policy is declared here: https://ijarlit.org/index.php/IJARLIT/about/editorialPolicies#peerReviewProcess

Post-Publication Discussions and Corrections

This journal accepts discussion and corrections on published articles by readers. In case the reader is giving discussions and corrections toward a published article, the reader can contact the editor in chief by email to explain the discussions and corrections. If accepted (by the editor in chief), the discussions and corrections will be published in the next issue as a letter to the editor. Respected authors can reply to the discussions and corrections from the reader by sending the reply to the editor in chief. Therefore, editors may publish the answer as a reply to the letter to the editor.

Declaration of Generative AI

Authors are required to disclose the use of generative AI in the writing process when submitting a paper. The following guidelines apply specifically to the writing process and do not concern the use of AI tools for data analysis or research insights:

• Generative AI and AI-assisted technologies may only be used to enhance the readability and language of the manuscript.
• These tools must be used under human supervision, with authors carefully reviewing and editing the results, as AI can produce seemingly authoritative content that may be inaccurate, incomplete, or biased. Authors remain fully responsible and accountable for the content of their work.
• AI and AI-assisted technologies should not be listed or cited as authors or co-authors, as authorship carries responsibilities that only humans can fulfill.

Authors must disclose the use of generative AI and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process by including a statement at the end of the manuscript upon initial submission. This statement will be included in the published version of the paper and should be placed in a new section before the references. An example of the required format is as follows:

• Title of new section: Declaration of Generative AI and AI-Assisted Technologies in the Writing Process.
• Statement: During the preparation of this work, the author(s) used [NAME OF TOOL/SERVICE] for [REASON]. After utilizing this tool/service, the author(s) thoroughly reviewed and edited the content as necessary and take full responsibility for the final content of the published article.

This declaration is not required for the use of basic tools, such as grammar or spelling checkers and reference managers. If no generative AI or AI-assisted technologies were used, no statement is needed.

Note: To protect the confidentiality and intellectual rights of authors, this journal currently prohibits the use of generative AI or AI-assisted tools like ChatGPT by reviewers or editors during the peer review and manuscript evaluation process. The journal is exploring compliant AI tools and may update this policy in the future.

Plagiarism Policy

All manuscripts submitted to International Journal of Artificial Intelligence and Informatics are subject to plagiarism screening using CrossCheck/iThenticate to ensure originality and academic integrity.

International Journal of Artificial Intelligence and Informatics maintains a strict policy against plagiarism and self-plagiarism. Manuscripts found to contain plagiarized content—whether through direct copying, substantial similarity, or improper paraphrasing—will be rejected immediately.
