Category

Authors must categorize their manuscript as part of the manuscript information. The category that most closely describes their manuscript should be selected from the list below. 

  • Research articles involve constructing or testing a model or framework, action research, data testing, market research or surveys, and empirical, scientific, or laboratory research.
  • Review articles provide a comprehensive summary of research on a certain topic and a perspective on the state of the field and where it is heading. Review articles are often widely read (for example, by researchers looking for a full introduction to a field) and highly cited. It commonly cites approximately 100 primary references, at a minimum of 50 references.
  • The technical paper describes and evaluates technical products, processes, or services. 
  • The conceptual paper will not be based on research but will develop hypotheses. The papers will likely be discursive and cover philosophical discussions and comparative studies of others' work and thinking.
  • Case studies describe actual interventions or experiences within organizations. They may well be subjective and will not generally report on research. A description of a legal case or a hypothetical case study used as a teaching exercise would also fit into this category.

 

Language

The manuscript language is English. Make sure to proofread the manuscript writing before submission.

Although the Indonesian language is acceptable at the time of submission, using English is highly recommended to avoid delay throughout the manuscript evaluation process. If the Indonesian language is to be used, it should be translated into proofread English once accepted for publication.

 

Format & Length

We provide the author(s) with a Generic Template for the journal. Ensure the manuscript has been carefully prepared according to the following requirements. 

  • Manuscript should be written in MS Word file; Other formats (LaTex, PDF, etc.) are unacceptable.
  • It is a single-column page format with no specific page margins and line spacing required.
  • The main body of the manuscript should be strictly divided into four main sections, i.e., Introduction, Methods, Results and Discussion, and Conclusion, written in bold capital letters.
  • Manuscript length can be any number of pages, but the main sections should be at least 5000 words in length, excluding words in Abstract, Tables, References, Appendix, Bibliography, etc.

 

Structure

As a whole, the manuscript should contain these elements in the following order:

  • Research category
  • A research title with a maximum of 10 (ten) words;
  • Full name of all authors;
  • Affiliation of all authors (Department/division, Institution, Address, City, and Country);
  • Email and phone no. of the corresponding author;
  • Abstract;
  • Keywords (should be 4 – 6 words);

Authorship

In alignment with our mission to strengthen the education and research network, International Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research does not consider manuscripts from a single author, as we believe collaborative contributions are integral to advancing interdisciplinary knowledge and scholarly exchange.

All contributing authors’ names should be added, and their names should be arranged in the correct order for publication. A correct email address should be supplied only by the corresponding author. Each author's full name must be present in the exact format they should appear for publication, including or excluding any middle names or initials as required. The affiliation of each contributing author should be correct on their author name.

The criteria of authorship are as follows; Substantial contributions to the conception or design of the work; or the acquisition, analysis, or interpretation of data for the work; drafting the work or revising it critically for important intellectual content; final approval of the version to be published; Agreement to be accountable for all aspects of the work in ensuring that questions related to the accuracy or integrity of any part of the work are appropriately investigated and resolved.

 

Abstract

  • It is a single paragraph of 200 – 250 words;
  • Write the abstract as a cohesive tale, beginning with broad facts about the research background (no more than two lines), followed by the research problem, and then adding more about the purpose, method, results, and implications for theory and practice;
  • Avoid mentioning detailed numerical results; Instead, highlight and emphasize the proposed research's main conclusion and implication.

In general, the abstract provides a pertinent overview of the work consisting of background (20%); purpose (15%); method (30%); result/findings (25%), and implication (10%).

 

Introduction Section

Make the introduction section as comprehensive as possible for the readers, especially those in the particular ?eld of research.

  • Begin with the existing body of knowledge, from a broader scope to a more specific area; highlight why it is important.
  • Provide the following critical aspects adequately:
    • Discussion of Past Publications: Explore the evolution of the research topic, and analyze contributions of past publications to the existing body of knowledge;
    • Identification of Research Gap: Articulate the specific gap in current knowledge that the proposed research aims to address by synthesizing findings from at least five recent key literature; highlight areas in the literature where gaps or limitations exist;
    • Novelty of Proposed Research: Clearly articulate how the proposed research is novel and establish the unique contributions it brings to the field;
    • Rationale of Proposed Research: Provide a rationale for the chosen research direction, and explain how the study builds upon or diverges from existing research;
    • Objectives of the Proposed Research: Clearly state the specific goals and objectives of the research and offer a roadmap for readers to understand the intended outcomes and contributions.
  • Refer to at least 25 references (in total); cite the latest primary references i.e., the publication from internationally reputable journals and/or conference proceedings published approx. within the last 10 years.
  • Do not use up the manuscript length by over-detailing/describing a particular knowledge's basic theoretical ground (basic theory).

 

Methods Section

  • Provide structured and sufficient details of methods, techniques, and/or approaches used in the proposed study to allow the work to be reproducible (by other scholars) in the future.
  • For novel methods/techniques/approaches, describe them in detail.
  • For well-established methods/techniques/approachesdescribe them briefly. Simply cite a reference where readers can find it in more detail.
  • If quoting directly from a previously published method, use quotation marks and cite the source. If any modifications to existing methods, describe them sufficiently.
  • Indicate the participants observed, including demographic data, number of respondents, the rationale of respondent selection, etc.
  • Describe the design of the experiment in detail, such as the experiment procedures, surveys, interviews, observation characteristics, etc.

 

Results and Discussion Section

  • This section is a mix of results-discussion.
  • Emphasize more on presenting and discussing the main result.
  • Avoid extensive presentation of the following:
    • Raw (input) data;
    • Computation results are obtained from step-by-step procedures in many tables and/or figures. Instead, summarize these results in a concise and meaningful table/figure and conclude it.
    • If either raw (input) data or those detailed results are to be presented, put it in the Appendix section. A maximum of a two-page appendix is allowed.
  • A discussion should interpret the significance of the main results/findings and not just repeat mentioning the result already shown in tables and/or figures.
  • For research on hypothesis testing, explain how the results relate to the hypothesis and provide a succinct explanation of the implications of the findings, particularly to previous related studies.
  • Provide the name and version of any software used and make clear whether the computer code used is available.

 

Conclusion Section

  • The conclusions should answer the research objectives.
  • Highlight the main findings (not detailed numerical results), and elaborate the research implications to the research domain (industrial engineering-related domain) and the general audience.
  • If the findings are preliminary, suggest future studies that need to be carried out.
