Editorial Policies

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Review (AIMLR) welcomes the submission of original research articles, systematic reviews, and scientific analyses relevant to its defined aims and scope. All manuscripts submitted to AIMLR undergo a strict Double-Blind Peer Review procedure to uphold research quality, academic integrity, and ethical standards. Authors must submit their work solely through the journal’s designated submission option available on the website. By submitting a manuscript, authors confirm that the work is original, has not been previously published, and is not currently under review by any other journal or conference proceedings. Submissions must not violate existing copyright restrictions, institutional agreements, or third-party publishing rights.

Submission Guidelines

All manuscripts must fall within the scientific scope of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and related computational research areas. Submissions must be made through the online system provided by the journal and are processed without any submission fee. Authors are responsible for ensuring that no part of the manuscript is under review elsewhere at the time of submission, and all formatting, structural, and ethical standards must comply with the Author Guidelines published by AIMLR.

Review Process

After initial submission, manuscripts are screened by the editorial office to ensure relevance, originality, formatting compliance, and adherence to ethical expectations. Manuscripts passing the preliminary review are forwarded to at least two domain-specific experts for Double-Blind Peer Review. Reviewer recommendations guide the editorial decision, which may result in acceptance, revision, or rejection. AIMLR ensures confidentiality during the entire evaluation process. Reviewer identities remain undisclosed to authors, and author identities remain hidden from reviewers. Editorial decisions are made independently, free from bias, and based solely on scientific merit.

Key Responsibilities of Editors

Editors are required to protect the confidentiality of submitted work, reviewer feedback, and author information. The journal ensures that the Double-Blind Peer Review system is implemented consistently for all manuscript types. Editorial decisions are based exclusively on the quality of research, clarity of contribution, methodological soundness, and relevance to the field. Any personal, professional, or financial conflict of interest must be avoided. AIMLR follows internationally recognized academic publishing ethics, including guidance provided by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

Timeline and Corrections

The typical duration from submission to final publication ranges from approximately three to five months, depending on reviewer response time, editorial workload, and author revision cycles. Authors must respond to reviewer comments thoroughly and within the deadlines set by the editorial office. If errors are identified during the editorial, peer review, or production stages, authors are required to correct them promptly. In cases involving major inaccuracies, research misconduct, or ethical violations, correction or retraction procedures will be enforced in alignment with COPE standards to maintain the reliability and transparency of the published record.

Policy on the Use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI)

AIMLR maintains a clear and transparent policy regarding the use of Generative Artificial Intelligence tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini, or similar models in scholarly writing. Authors must disclose any use of AI-assisted technologies in the preparation of the manuscript. These tools may be used strictly for language improvement, grammar correction, or clarity enhancement. They may not be used to generate research ideas, design experiments, create datasets, draw scientific conclusions, or write substantial scientific content. AI tools cannot be credited as authors, since authorship requires full accountability for the scientific validity, originality, and integrity of the work. Editors and reviewers may utilize AI tools only for technical tasks such as grammar assistance or formatting checks; such tools are not permitted to influence editorial judgment, review recommendations, or acceptance decisions.

Important Notes

Authors should address reviewer feedback comprehensively and within the specified response period. Delayed or incomplete revisions may extend the processing timeline. All corrections, revised files, and supplementary materials must be submitted promptly to avoid publication delays or withdrawal of acceptance.
