Author Guidelines

Journal of Engineering and Artificial Intelligence welcomes the submission of original research articles of significant importance to the fields of engineering and artificial intelligence. We accept manuscripts of varying lengths, from comprehensive full-length studies to shorter reports that highlight novel findings, even if they are based on a more limited scope of experiments.

We emphasize clarity and accessibility in writing to ensure the content is understandable to a broad audience, including those outside the immediate field of expertise or whose primary language is not English. The editorial team will provide constructive feedback to enhance the manuscript's clarity, structure, and impact without being overly intrusive. Authors are encouraged to retain their unique voice and determine the most effective way to present their ideas, findings, and conclusions.

We accept submissions globally but require that manuscripts be written in English. Authors who are non-native English speakers are welcome to contact us for additional guidance. To promote accessibility and inclusivity, authors fluent in other languages are encouraged to submit translations of their full articles or abstracts. These translations will be published as supplementary materials and listed alongside other supporting information at the end of the article.

Article Processing Charges (APC):

Publishing with open access involves certain costs. The Journal of Engineering and Artificial Intelligence covers these costs through article processing charges (APCs) payable by authors upon acceptance of their manuscript for publication. The Journal of Engineering and Artificial Intelligence does not impose subscription fees for accessing its research content, adhering to the principle that immediate, global, and unrestricted open access to the full text of research articles best serves the scientific community.

Average Article Processing Time (APT): The average processing time for articles is 45 days.

Article Processing Charges (APC):
The manuscript handling fee or standard article processing charge is specified above. However, this fee may vary depending on additional factors such as extensive editing, use of colored effects, inclusion of complex equations, or an increased number of pages in the article.

Swift Editorial Processing and Review Procedure (SE-Review Procedure):
The Journal of Engineering and Artificial Intelligence offers Swift Editorial Processing and Review Procedure (SE-Review Procedure) service, available for an additional prepayment of $99, which is charged over and above the regular article processing fee. This expedited service is designed to provide authors with a faster response during the pre-review stage from the handling editor, as well as a quicker review process by the reviewer.

  • Pre-review Response Time: Maximum of 3 days from submission.
  • Review Process Completion: Maximum of 5 days.
  • Revision/Publication Timeline: Final revision and publication within 2 days post-review.

In cases where revisions are required, the revised manuscript undergoes another review by the same reviewer or an alternate reviewer, which may take an additional 5 days.

Manuscript acceptance remains entirely at the discretion of the editorial team and the independent peer-review process. The fast-track process adheres to the journal's high standards of scientific rigor. Please note that the $99 fee for the FEE-Review Process is non-refundable, even if the manuscript is withdrawn or rejected.

The corresponding author or their affiliated institution/organization is responsible for the payment of the FEE-Review Process fee. This fee covers fast-tracked editorial review and decisions, while the standard APC covers preparation for online publication in various formats (PDF) and inclusion in permanent archives and indexing services.

Article Withdrawal Policy

If a manuscript is withdrawn after submission, the author will be required to pay a minimum fee of 359 Euros.

For manuscripts withdrawn after acceptance but before publication, the corresponding author will be charged 50% of the invoice amount. The submission and processing of each manuscript involve certain costs, including overhead expenses, incurred by the journal during the review and production stages. Once the peer review process is completed often within a week and the manuscript has been scheduled for publication, these costs cannot be recouped without compensation.

Authors are responsible for ensuring their manuscript meets all ethical and publishing standards before submission. Requests for withdrawal due to disagreements between authors or between authors and their institutions regarding authorship, data ownership, or related matters cannot be accepted.

We recognize that withdrawing a manuscript can be a challenging decision, and we strive to support authors while safeguarding the integrity of our publication process. For questions or concerns regarding manuscript withdrawal or processing fees, please contact us at: info@academicsquare-pub.com.

Manuscript Preparation Guidelines
