For Reviewers

To maintain the highest standards of scholarly publishing, all manuscripts submitted to the International Journal of AI in Practice undergo a rigorous peer-review process prior to acceptance. Peer review ensures that published articles are original, methodologically sound, significant, and clearly presented.

Reviewers are expected to evaluate submissions objectively and fairly, without regard to the authors’ institutional affiliation, nationality, gender, ethnicity, religion, or personal background. Reviews should be professional and constructive, and reviewers must refrain from making inappropriate or offensive remarks.

Confidentiality

All manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Reviewers must not disclose any information obtained during the peer-review process or use unpublished material for personal research or advantage without the explicit written consent of the authors.

Conflicts of Interest

Reviewers should declare any actual or potential conflicts of interest and consult the journal if there is uncertainty regarding whether a situation constitutes a relevant conflict.

Review Criteria

Reviewers are requested to assess submitted manuscripts based on the following criteria, which address the significance, rigor, clarity, and contribution of the research:

  1. Originality: Does the manuscript present novel and significant contributions that justify publication?
  2. Relationship to Existing Literature: Does the manuscript demonstrate an adequate understanding of relevant prior research and cite appropriate literature? Are important studies omitted?
  3. Methodology: Is the research grounded in appropriate theoretical concepts or frameworks? Are the research design and methods suitable and well justified?
  4. Results and Analysis: Are the results presented clearly and analyzed appropriately? Do the conclusions logically follow from the data and discussion?
  5. Implications for Research, Practice, and/or Society: Does the manuscript clearly identify its implications and contribute to bridging theory and practice?
  6. Quality of Communication: Is the manuscript well written and clearly structured, using appropriate technical language for the journal’s readership? Is attention given to clarity, coherence, and readability?
