Submissions

Before Submission

Authors should submit manuscripts that fit the journal scope and are not under consideration by another journal. The title page should include all author names and affiliations, corresponding author contact details, funding information, competing interests, data availability, ethics approval details where relevant, and author contributions.

Article Types and Length

Artificial Intelligence and Intelligent Systems Research may consider research articles, system papers, benchmark reports, software notes, short communications, and registered replication studies. The journal does not set a rigid launch-stage word limit, but authors should match article length to evidence. Short reports must still contain enough method detail for evaluation; reviews must state their search or selection logic.

Manuscript Structure

Research articles should normally include:

  • title, abstract, keywords, and a concise statement of the research gap
  • methods or study design with enough detail for assessment
  • results presented without selective reporting
  • discussion that separates evidence from interpretation
  • limitations, data availability, author contributions, competing interests, funding, and references

For this journal, authors should additionally address model architecture or algorithm description, training and evaluation data provenance, and baseline comparisons. Manuscripts that use specialised reporting standards should include the relevant checklist as supplementary material.

Required Statements

Each submission should include:

  • data and code availability
  • AI-tool disclosure
  • compute-resource description
  • conflict of interest
  • funding

Data, Code, Materials, and Supplementary Files

Authors should share code, trained-model details, prompts, configuration files, and evaluation datasets when licences and privacy conditions allow; restricted datasets should be described with access conditions. Suitable supplementary material may include repositories, appendices, model cards, data dictionaries, and executable notebooks. Files should be named clearly, cited from the manuscript, and versioned where possible.

Formatting and References

The launch office may accept Word, LaTeX, or OJS-compatible source files. Numeric or author-date references are acceptable at submission; accepted papers should be normalised consistently. Figures should be readable at single-column width, tables should be editable where possible, and abbreviations should be defined at first use.

Research Integrity and AI Use

Authors must identify prior dissemination, preprints, related submissions, reused figures, and any third-party material. Use of generative AI tools must be disclosed when they materially assisted drafting, coding, image generation, translation, data extraction, or analysis. AI tools cannot be listed as authors.

Editorial Screening

Submissions may be returned before review if they are outside scope, lack required statements, contain excessive overlap, use unverifiable data, or do not meet minimal scholarly standards for artificial intelligence and intelligent systems. In particular, desk rejection may apply to papers with unverifiable model claims, missing baselines, undisclosed generated content, or purely promotional AI-system descriptions.
