The submitted manuscript will be evaluated first by the editor, whether it is suitable for JARINA: Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Architecture focus and scope or has a major methodological flaw and checking similarity score using Turnitin. The manuscript will be sent to at least two anonymous reviewers with the Double-Blind Review system. Reviewers' comments are then sent to the corresponding author for necessary actions and responses. The suggested decision will be evaluated in an editorial board meeting. Afterward, the editor will send the final decision to the corresponding author.

Manuscript Process Workflow and Guidelines

Phase 1: Initial Editorial Screening Upon submission, your manuscript undergoes a preliminary evaluation to ensure it aligns with the journal's scope and meets our originality standards. We utilize Turnitin to conduct a similarity check; while the maximum allowable similarity index is 20%, we strongly encourage authors to aim for a score below 15%. This stage typically concludes within one up to two week, after which we will notify you if any immediate revisions or a resubmission are required.

Phase 2: Double-Blind Peer Review Manuscripts that successfully pass the initial screening are advanced to the formal review stage. This process employs a double-blind peer review system involving two independent subject-matter experts to ensure the utmost objectivity and confidentiality for both parties. The review duration generally spans from two weeks to one month. Following the receipt of the reviewers' reports, you will be granted two weeks to address the feedback and submit your revised manuscript.

Phase 3: Final Evaluation and Production Once your revised article is submitted, the Editorial Team will verify that all reviewer comments have been addressed comprehensively.

  • Approval: If the revisions meet the required standards, the manuscript will proceed to the copyediting and proofreading phase in preparation for publication.

  • Further Requirements: Should the revisions remain incomplete or require significant further work, we may request additional edits or a formal resubmission.

Policy Regarding the Letter of Acceptance (LoA) Please be formally advised that a Letter of Acceptance (LoA) is issued exclusively upon the successful completion of the peer-review process, the fulfillment of all requested revisions, and a final decision of 'Accepted' by the Editor-in-Chief. An LoA cannot be provided while the manuscript is still under evaluation.
