Author Guidelines

Authors are invited to make a submission to this journal. All submissions will be assessed by an editor to determine whether they meet the aims and scope of this journal. Those considered to be a good fit will be sent for peer review before determining whether they will be accepted or rejected.

Before making a submission, authors are responsible for obtaining permission to publish any material included with the submission, such as photos, documents and datasets. All authors identified on the submission must consent to be identified as an author. Where appropriate, research should be approved by an appropriate ethics committee in accordance with the legal requirements of the study's country.

An editor may desk reject a submission if it does not meet minimum standards of quality. Before submitting, please ensure that the study design and research argument are structured and articulated properly. The title should be concise and the abstract should be able to stand on its own. This will increase the likelihood of reviewers agreeing to review the paper. When you're satisfied that your submission meets this standard, please follow the checklist below to prepare your submission.

Research Article / Original Research

A complete report of original research findings, including methodology, results, and discussion. The total length should be less than 10,000 words, covering tables and figures but excluding references. These articles contribute new knowledge to the field and follow a structured format (Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion).

Review Articles

A comprehensive synthesis of existing research on a specific topic, summarizing key findings from multiple studies. Types include systematic reviews, scoping reviews, literature reviews, critical reviews, and meta-analyses. The maximum length is 12,000 words (excluding references). Review articles help identify research gaps and trends in a particular field.

Letters / Short Reports / Communications

Brief reports highlighting preliminary findings, significant observations, or short research updates. These are concise, with a maximum of 2,500 words and typically up to 15 references. They allow for rapid dissemination of important discoveries.

Case Report

A concise technical paper presenting an in-depth analysis of a specific application of artificial intelligence in engineering practice. This may include unique case implementations, innovative AI-based problem-solving approaches, system failures and corrective strategies, or the integration of AI tools within engineering workflows. Case reports provide practical insights into real-world challenges, model performance, data handling, optimization strategies, and deployment outcomes. The maximum length is 2,500 words. Submissions generally include the problem context, AI framework or model description, data and methodology, performance evaluation, and key lessons learned for future applications.

Viewpoint / Opinion Article

An essay presenting the author’s perspective on a specific (sometimes controversial) topic. Unlike research papers, opinion pieces do not require original data but should offer critical analysis or provoke discussion. The maximum length is 1,500 words.
