Author Guidelines

International Journal of Data Informatics and Intelligent Computing is a scholarly open-access online journal that publishes articles that contribute new theoretical results in all the areas of Computer Science, Information Technology, and Information Systems. All the submitted articles are peer-reviewed by experts in the relevant field and accepted articles are published online immediately after receiving the final version of the manuscript in the upcoming recent issue.

The information provided in each section below serves as essential for authors. Before sending in your submission, we advise you to take the time to read them.

OPEN ACCESS

International Journal of Data Informatics and Intelligent Computing is an open-access journal, meaning that all content is freely available to the user or their institution without charge. Users are allowed to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of the articles or use them for any other lawful purpose without asking the publisher's or the author's prior permission.

ORIGINALITY AND PLAGIARISM

The authors should ensure that their content is entirely original. If they use someone else's words or work, they have cited or quoted it appropriately. Authors are required to check the IJDIIC Publication Ethics and Publication Malpractice Statement.

Plagiarism is an offense. International Journal of Data Informatics and Intelligent Computing will check all the submitted manuscripts against plagiarism using Turnitin plagiarism detection software. Documents must meet the maximum similarity limit of 15% to proceed to the review/production process.

PEER REVIEW PROCESS

IJDIIC uses the following peer review procedure guidelines:

  • All the manuscripts submitted to IJDIIC will be admitted in the single-blind peer review process (which means the reviewers’ identities are not revealed to the authors, while the reviewer is aware of the author’s identity).
  • The editors will review the submitted manuscripts and decide whether the manuscript is eligible for review or declined.
  • Manuscripts that have been eligible for review will be sent to a minimum of two and a maximum of four reviewers who are experts in the subject field.
  • The review will consider novelty, objectivity, methods, scientific impact, conclusions, and references.
  • Reviewers will suggest improvements and or accept/reject articles.
  • The editor will decide by considering suggestions from reviewers whether the manuscript will be accepted for publication.

Length:  An article's typical length is at least 8 pages. Provided the scientific content is of high value, shorter or longer manuscripts will also be considered.

Title:  Titles must fit on three lines in print (at most 25 words) and should avoid abbreviations. The title's first letter of notional words should be capitalized, and functional words should be lowercase.

Authors: Authors’ full names should be provided without professional ranks and titles. Corresponding author(s) should be identified with an asterisk. Author’s affiliation should include “Department/Faculty, University/Institute, City, Country” or “Company, City, Country.”

Abstract: The abstract should be no more than 250 words and should not contain citations or unexplained abbreviations/acronyms. The general scope of the article, the main results, and the conclusions should be summarized.

Keywords: The keywords should be concise and distinctive, and there should be no more than 5 words in each keyword except for the proper nouns.

Introduction: The introduction should include the background, objectives, overview, or map of the whole paper.

Methods: The Methods section appears in most online original research articles and should contain all elements necessary to interpret and replicate the results.

Tables: Each table should be given a caption above it and numbered successively, such as Table 1, Table 2, Table 3... Further details can be included as notes to the table.

Figures: Suitably high-resolution figures may be inserted within the text at appropriate positions. Each figure should be given a caption below it and numbered successively, such as Figure 1, Figure 2, Figure 3...

References: Use tools like EndNote, Mendeley, or Zotero for reference management and formatting, and choose IEEE style. There should be at least 15 references in an academic article. Each citation should be written in the order of appearance in the text in square brackets. For example, the first citation [1], the second citation [2], and the third and fourth citations [3], [4]. When citing multiple sources at once, the preferred method is to list each number separately, in its brackets, using a comma or dash between numbers, such as [1], [3], [5].
