The International Journal of AI and Advanced Engineering follows a structured and impartial peer-review process to evaluate the academic quality, originality, methodological soundness, technical validity, and scholarly contribution of submitted manuscripts.

The peer-review process is intended to ensure that manuscripts published by the journal meet appropriate standards of academic rigor, research integrity, technical accuracy, clarity, and scholarly relevance in artificial intelligence, advanced engineering, and related fields.

1. Initial Editorial Screening

All submitted manuscripts undergo an initial editorial screening before being considered for external peer review. During this stage, the editorial team may assess the manuscript for:

Manuscripts that do not meet the journal's basic requirements may be returned to the authors for correction or declined before external peer review.

2. Similarity & Originality Check

Manuscripts may be checked for textual similarity using appropriate similarity-detection tools as part of the editorial screening process.

Similarity results are evaluated in context and are not treated as an automatic indication of plagiarism. The editorial team may consider the nature, location, extent, and source of matching text when determining whether further action is required.

Where substantial or inappropriate similarity is identified, the manuscript may be returned to the authors for revision, clarification, or appropriate citation, or may be rejected depending on the nature and severity of the issue.

3. Double-Blind Peer Review

Authors should prepare manuscripts for double-blind review in accordance with the journal's manuscript preparation requirements and remove identifying information where required.

4. Selection of Reviewers

Manuscripts that proceed beyond the initial editorial screening are assigned to qualified and independent reviewers with relevant academic, scientific, engineering, or technical expertise.

Reviewers may be selected according to the subject matter of the manuscript, including artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, computational methods, software systems, advanced engineering, automation, robotics, simulation, and related research areas.

The journal normally seeks evaluation from two or more independent reviewers, depending on the nature of the manuscript and the requirements of the editorial process.

Reviewers are expected to provide objective, constructive, confidential, and academically appropriate assessments of the manuscript.

5. Review Criteria

Reviewers may evaluate manuscripts with consideration of the following factors:

The specific criteria may vary according to the article type, technical discipline, methodology, and subject matter.

6. Reviewer Recommendations

Following evaluation, reviewers provide comments and recommendations to assist the editor in reaching a publication decision. Possible recommendations include:

7. Revision by Authors

When revisions are requested, authors are expected to address the reviewers' comments carefully and provide a clear response to the issues raised. Authors may be required to submit:

Where appropriate, revised manuscripts may be returned to the original reviewers for further evaluation.

8. Editorial Decision

The editorial decision is based on the manuscript's academic quality, originality, research methodology, technical validity, ethical compliance, reviewer evaluations, and overall suitability for publication in the International Journal of AI and Advanced Engineering.

The editor may consider reviewer recommendations but retains independent editorial judgment and may reach a decision that differs from a particular reviewer recommendation where appropriate.

9. Final Acceptance & Publication

Once a manuscript has successfully completed the peer-review and editorial process and has been formally accepted, it proceeds to the journal's publication and production procedures.

Where applicable, information regarding the Article Processing Charge (APC), copyright and licensing, formatting, production, DOI assignment, and publication procedures is communicated to the authors in accordance with the relevant journal policies.

10. Confidentiality & Editorial Independence

Manuscripts submitted to the journal and the contents of peer-review reports are treated as confidential within the editorial and peer-review process, subject to applicable policies and legal or ethical requirements.

Editorial and peer-review decisions are intended to be based on academic and scholarly considerations. Commercial considerations, including Article Processing Charges, should not determine whether a manuscript is accepted or rejected.

11. Estimated Review Timeline

The duration of peer review may vary depending on the subject area, reviewer availability, manuscript complexity, technical requirements, revision requirements, and other factors affecting the editorial process.

12. Author Responsibility

Authors are responsible for ensuring that submitted manuscripts are original, accurately presented, properly referenced, ethically conducted where applicable, and prepared in accordance with the journal's submission and publication requirements.

For research involving AI models, computational systems, datasets, simulations, or engineering experiments, authors should ensure that the methods, results, limitations, and supporting information are reported accurately and transparently.

By submitting a manuscript to the journal, authors acknowledge that the manuscript may undergo editorial screening, similarity checking, peer review, revision, and final editorial evaluation before a publication decision is made.
