Article Acceptance Requirements

The criteria for an article to be accepted for publication in IJAICI include:

  1. The article must be original writing that enhances the existing body of knowledge in the given subject area. Original review articles and surveys are acceptable, even if new data/concepts are not presented.
  2. Results reported must not have been submitted or published elsewhere (although expanded versions of conference publications are eligible for submission).
  3. Experiments, statistics, and other analyses must be performed to a high technical standard and described in sufficient detail.
  4. Conclusions must be presented clearly and supported by the data.
  5. Article must be written in standard English with correct grammar.
  6. Appropriate references to related prior published works must be included.
  7. The article must fall within the scope of IJAICI. To help you decide, you should consider if the article topic falls within the topics of interest.

Avoid Plagiarism and Duplicate Publication

Each article submitted to IJAICI is scanned for plagiarism, including similarity to an author’s own work.

IJAICI accepts expanded versions of an author’s own referenced conference articles, as long as the similarity is less than 35%. In such cases, authors are expected to describe the connection in the manuscript and disclose it in the cover letter.  If the overlap is higher (effectively duplicate publication) or the source article is not referenced, the article will be rejected.

Reuse of an author’s own thesis or dissertation is allowed, as long as it is cited and has not been published elsewhere.

Articles submitted to IJAICI should not be under consideration for peer review at any other journal (duplicate submission).

Proper Grammar

Proper grammar is a requirement for publication in IJAICI. Any articles submitted with poor grammar will be immediately rejected.
