Peer-Review Policy:

The International Journal of Information Technologies and Artificial Intelligence follows a double-blind peer-review process to ensure the quality and integrity of the published research. The process is designed to be thorough and fair, providing authors with constructive feedback.

1. Initial Screening:

   • Manuscripts are first reviewed by the editorial board for relevance and adherence to the journal’s guidelines. Manuscripts not meeting these criteria may be returned to authors or rejected without further review.

2. Reviewer Assignment:

   • Manuscripts that pass the initial screening are sent to at least two independent reviewers with expertise in the subject area. Reviewers assess the manuscript's methodology, validity, and contribution to the field.

3. Double-Blind Review:

   • The double-blind review ensures that neither the authors nor the reviewers know each other's identities, promoting unbiased feedback.

4. Review Outcomes:

   • Reviewers recommend one of the following: accept, minor revisions, major revisions, or reject. Authors receive detailed feedback based on these reviews.

5. Editorial Decision:

   • The editorial board makes the final decision based on reviewers' recommendations. If revisions are required, authors are given specific guidance and a timeframe for resubmission.

6. Publication Ethics:

   • IJITAI adheres to strict ethical guidelines. Authors must ensure the originality of their work and avoid plagiarism. Any form of data manipulation, duplicate submissions, or unethical research practices will lead to rejection.

7. Conflict of Interest:

   • Authors, reviewers, and editors must disclose any potential conflicts of interest. The journal takes necessary steps to manage these conflicts to maintain impartiality.

8. Open Access Policy:

   • IJITAI is an open-access journal, meaning all articles are freely available to readers without subscription fees. Authors may be required to pay an article processing charge (APC) to cover publication costs.

9. Archiving and Indexing:

   • IJITAI ensures that all published content is permanently archived and indexed in major academic databases, ensuring long-term accessibility.

10. Data Availability:

    • Authors are encouraged to make their research data publicly available to enhance transparency and reproducibility. A data availability statement should be included in the manuscript.

11. Post-Acceptance:

    • After acceptance, manuscripts undergo copyediting and formatting. Authors review proofs before publication to correct any final errors.

12. Special Issues:

    • The journal occasionally publishes special issues on focused topics in IT and AI, inviting experts to contribute and collaborate on these themes.

The International Journal of Information Technologies and Artificial Intelligence aims to be a reliable source of high-quality research that contributes to the advancement of IT and AI, serving both academic and practical needs in these dynamic fields.

The International Journal of Information Technologies and Artificial Intelligence supports and encourages the responsible sharing of research outputs to enhance scientific communication and knowledge dissemination.
