Peer Review Process

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.

Publication Ethics

Duties of Authors

  1. Reporting Standards: 
    Authors of reports of original research should present an accurate account of the work performed as well as an objective discussion of its significance. Underlying data should be represented accurately in the paper. A paper should contain sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the work. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behaviour and are unacceptable.
  2. Data Access and Retention: 
    Authors are asked to provide the raw data in connection with a paper for editorial review, and should be prepared to provide public access to such data (consistent with the ALPSP-STM Statement on Data and Databases), if practicable, and should in any event be prepared to retain such data for a reasonable time after publication.
  3. Originality and Plagiarism: The authors should ensure that they have written entirely original works, and if the authors have used the work and/or words of others that this has been appropriately cited or quoted. The manuscript should not be submitted concurrently to more than one publication unless the editors have agreed to co-publication. Relevant previous work and publications, both by other researchers and the authors’ own, should be properly acknowledged and referenced. The primary literature should be cited where possible. Original wording taken directly from publications by other researchers should appear in quotation marks with the appropriate citations. Similiarity score should be under 15% (such as using tools like Turnitin)
  4. Multiple, Redundant or Concurrent Publication: 
    An author should not, in general, publish manuscripts describing essentially the same research in more than one journal or primary publication. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable.
  5. Acknowledgment of Sources: 
    Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be given. Authors should cite publications that have been influential in determining the nature of the reported work.
  6. Authorship of the Paper: 
    Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported study. All those who have made significant contributions should be listed as co-authors. Where there are others who have participated in certain substantive aspects of the research project, they should be acknowledged or listed as contributors. The corresponding author should ensure that all appropriate co-authors and no inappropriate co-authors are included on the paper and that all co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the paper and have agreed to its submission for publication.
  7. Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest: 
    All authors should disclose in their manuscript any financial or another substantive conflict of interest that might be construed to influence the results or interpretation of their manuscript. All sources of financial support for the project should be disclosed. Authors must disclose the use of AI tools in a "Declaration of the Use of AI" or "Acknowledgements" section. This disclosure should include the tool's name, version, and purpose.AI usage is recommended to be below 50%. 
  8. Fundamental errors in published works: 
    When an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in his/her own published work, it is the author’s obligation to promptly notify the journal editor or publisher and cooperate with the editor to retract or correct the paper.
  9. Hazards and Human or Animal Subjects: 
    If the work involves chemicals, procedures or equipment that have any unusual hazards inherent in their use, the author must clearly identify these in the manuscript.
