Journal of Artificial Intelligence and Metaheuristics
The Journal of Artificial Intelligence and Metaheuristics (JAIM) is an international, peer-reviewed scholarly journal dedicated to advancing original research in artificial intelligence, metaheuristic optimization, and their integration. The journal publishes theoretical, methodological, computational, and application-oriented research that demonstrates clear scientific novelty, rigorous performance validation, and practical or theoretical relevance. Review articles, survey papers, bibliometric studies, tutorials, and perspective articles are outside the journal’s current scope.
JAIM operates a structured and transparent editorial and peer-review process designed to ensure the highest standards of scientific quality, originality, and integrity. All submitted manuscripts undergo initial editorial screening followed by independent peer review conducted by qualified experts in the relevant domain.
Authors are invited to submit manuscripts prepared in any standard academic format at the initial submission stage. Compliance with a specific journal template is not required before peer review. Once accepted, our production team edits, formats, and typesets all manuscripts to meet official publication standards, ensuring a consistent, high-quality presentation.
JAIM is committed to upholding high standards of publication ethics, research integrity, and transparency. Authors are required to ensure that their submissions comply with established ethical standards, including originality, proper citation, transparent authorship, and the disclosure of any conflicts of interest.
JAIM follows the ASPG Publication Ethics and Malpractice Statement. Submission of a manuscript implies that authors comply with the journal’s editorial policies, ethical requirements, and copyright regulations (see the Publication Ethics and Malpractice Statement for full details). Authors agree to the publisher’s copyright and licensing terms upon acceptance (see the Copyright and Licensing Policy). Details of the editorial and review workflow are available in the Peer Review Process page.
