Ensuring Scientific Integrity and Ethical AI Research

The Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research and Innovation (JAIRI) is committed to publishing pioneering research in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data science. Our editorial policies are designed to uphold the highest standards of scientific integrity, transparency, and ethical publishing.

We strictly adhere to the guidelines set by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), and IEEE Ethics in AI to ensure the responsible dissemination of AI-driven research.

Editorial and Peer Review Process

JAIRI follows a rigorous double-blind peer review process to ensure the accuracy, relevance, and originality of published research. The key steps include:

  • Initial Screening: Manuscripts are assessed for scope, formatting, and ethical compliance.
  • Plagiarism Check: We employ iThenticate to verify originality and prevent misconduct.
  • Expert Review: At least two independent AI experts evaluate the manuscript based on scientific merit.
  • Editorial Decision: Based on peer feedback, manuscripts are accepted, revised, or declined.
  • Final Approval: Authors must address reviewer comments before publication.

Ethical AI Research and Responsible Innovation

JAIRI enforces ethical AI research principles, including:

  • Transparency: Authors must disclose AI models, datasets, and methodologies used.
  • Bias and Fairness: Manuscripts must address potential biases and fairness in AI algorithms.
  • Reproducibility: Research must be replicable, with code availability encouraged.
  • Ethical AI Use: Compliance with responsible AI practices, avoiding harm and misuse.
  • Conflict of Interest Disclosure: Financial or research conflicts must be clearly stated.

Open Access and Licensing Policy
