Author Guidelines

Authors are invited to submit manuscripts to Applied Informatics for Sustainability and Artificial Intelligence Journal (AISAI Journal).

All submissions will be initially assessed by the editorial team to determine their suitability for the journal’s aims and scope. Submissions that meet the criteria will be sent for peer review before a final decision is made regarding acceptance or rejection.

Before submitting, authors are responsible for ensuring the following:

  • Permission has been obtained to publish any included material (e.g., photos, documents, datasets).
  • All listed authors have agreed to be identified as contributors to the work.
  • Where applicable, research has been approved by an appropriate ethics committee, in accordance with legal and institutional requirements.

The editor reserves the right to desk reject manuscripts that do not meet minimum standards of quality, including poorly structured study design or weakly articulated arguments. Authors are strongly encouraged to ensure:

  • The title is clear and concise.
  • The abstract is self-contained and summarizes the study appropriately.
  • The manuscript adheres to scientific writing standards.

Meeting these requirements will increase the likelihood of positive review outcomes.
