Description
Submissions should be prepared in accordance with the Author's Guidelines of Artificial Intelligence for Industry and Society (AIIS). Manuscripts may be returned to authors without undergoing scientific assessment if they fail to meet all submission requirements, are not in the correct format, or cannot be downloaded reliably.
All submissions must represent the original and independent work of the authors. Each new submission will be assessed by the Principal Editor using the Manuscript Readiness Level (MRL) to determine whether it aligns with the scope and remit of the journal. Manuscripts will be rejected without review if they contain insufficient content, exceed the word limit, are improperly formatted, or are poorly presented and unclear. Manuscripts that pass this initial evaluation will be managed by the Principal Editor or an Associate Editor, who will oversee the review process focusing on the manuscript's contribution, originality, relevance, and presentation.
Manuscripts that pass the initial screening will be sent to at least two independent experts for peer review. A single-blind review system is employed, where the identities of the authors are known to the reviewers, but the reviewers' identities remain confidential. Peer review comments are treated as confidential and will only be disclosed with the explicit agreement of the reviewers. All submitted manuscripts are subject to peer review, and authors can expect to receive a decision or an explanation for delays within two months of submission.
If revisions are required, the corresponding author must resubmit the revised manuscript within two weeks. The final decision will be made by the Principal Editor based on insights gained during the peer-review process.
We ensure that all manuscripts under review are treated with confidentiality before publication, in accordance with the journal’s publication ethics.
Types of decision
Following peer review, the paper is judged not to be acceptable for publication in Artificial Intelligence for Industry and Society (AIIS), and resubmission is not possible.
Resubmit for Review
The submitted version of the paper is not acceptable and requires major revision, but there is clear potential in the work, and Artificial Intelligence for Industry and Society (AIIS) is prepared to consider a new version. Authors are offered the opportunity to resubmit their paper as a new submission. Concerns will remain regarding the suitability of the paper for publication until the editors are convinced by the authors that their paper fits the scope and standards of AIIS. The resubmitted manuscript will be returned to the original associate editor whenever possible.
Revision
The paper requires changes before a final decision can be made. Authors are asked to modify their manuscript in light of comments received from referees and editors and to submit a new version for consideration within 2 weeks of receiving the decision letter. A point-by-point explanation of how the comments have been addressed must be provided with the revised version of the paper.
Revisions may undergo further peer review, and papers may require more than one round of revision. If the authors do not revise their papers to the satisfaction of the editors, the paper may still be declined for publication in Artificial Intelligence for Industry and Society (AIIS).
Accept submission
The paper is accepted for publication, subject to conditions that need to be addressed in producing the final version of the manuscript. These may include sub-editing changes and minor amendments to ensure the paper fully meets our criteria. After final checks in the editorial office, acceptance is confirmed, and the paper is forwarded to the publisher for publication.
Galley proof
Page proofs will be sent to the corresponding author for final checking. Corrections to the proofs must be limited to printer’s errors; any other changes to the text, equations, or grammar may incur additional charges to the author. Proofs should be returned to the editors within three days of receipt to minimize the risk of delaying publication to a later issue.
The editors do not take responsibility for the correctness of the published content. It is the author’s responsibility to thoroughly check the content at the proof stage.
