Peer Review Process

The Journal of Intelligent Computing and Information Systems (JoICIS) follows a rigorous double-blind peer review process to ensure the quality and integrity of published research. The review process is as follows:

  1. Initial Submission Check

    • The editorial team evaluates the submitted manuscript for completeness, scope alignment, and compliance with the journal's guidelines.
    • Manuscripts that do not meet the journal’s criteria may be desk-rejected or returned to the authors for revisions.

  2. Double-Blind Peer Review

    • Each manuscript is assigned to at least two independent reviewers who are experts in the relevant field.
    • Both the authors and the reviewers remain anonymous to ensure an unbiased evaluation.

  3. Reviewer Evaluation
    Reviewers assess the manuscript based on:

    • Originality and significance of the research
    • Clarity and coherence of the presentation
    • Methodological soundness and technical accuracy
    • Relevance to the journal’s scope and contribution to the field
    • Proper citation of references and ethical considerations

  4. Decision Process
    Based on the reviewers’ recommendations, the Editor-in-Chief makes one of the following decisions:

    • Accepted: The manuscript is accepted with minor or no revisions.
    • Revisions Required: Authors must make minor or major revisions before acceptance.
    • Resubmit for Review: A substantially revised version must be re-evaluated.
    • Rejected: The manuscript does not meet the journal’s quality standards or falls outside the journal’s scope.

  5. Revision and Final Decision

    • If revisions are requested, authors are given a deadline to submit a revised manuscript.
    • The revised submission may be reviewed again by the same reviewers or the editorial team.
    • A final decision is made based on the completeness and quality of the revisions.

  6. Publication

    • Once accepted, the manuscript undergoes copyediting and formatting before publication.
    • The final version is published under an open-access license, making it freely available to the public.

JoICIS is committed to maintaining a high standard of peer review, ensuring that all published articles contribute significantly to the advancement of computer science and information systems.
