Preparation & Submission
Preparation
Selecting the right journal for publication is a critical step in the research and publishing process. Here is a systematic approach to help you choose the most suitable journal for your research work:
Understand Your Research
Target Audience Aims and Scope
Journal Reputation and Influence
Peer Review Process & Duration
Open Access vs. Subscription
Publication Frequency
Publication Ethics
Accessibility and Indexing
Publication Costs
Copyright Policies
Read Journal Articles
Consult Peers
Check Submission Process
We welcome your interest in submitting your research work to our publication. To ensure a smooth and efficient submission process, please adhere to the following guidelines:
Target Your Publication
Prior to writing a paper, please first decide on which journal/book/proceeding you want to publish your research work.
Preparing the Manuscript
Format: Write your manuscript using a well-known word processor (such as Microsoft Word), a common file extension (such as .doc or .docx). Manuscripts can also be submitted in LaTeX.
Use of Word Processing Software
It is important that your manuscript text file is saved in the native format of the word processor used. The text should be in a single-column format and the layout should be kept as simple as possible. Most formatting codes will be removed and replaced on processing the article. In particular, do not use the word processor’s options to justify text or to hyphenate words. However, you can use bold face, italics, subscripts, superscripts, etc. When preparing tables, if you are using a table grid, use only one grid for each individual table and not a grid for each row. If no grid is used, use tabs and not spaces to align columns. Note that source files of figures, tables and text graphics will be required regardless of whether you embed your figures in the text or not. To avoid unnecessary errors you are strongly advised to use the “spell-check” and “grammar-check” functions of your word processor.
LaTeX Submissions
Manuscripts, for example those which contain a lot of mathematical formulas, can also be submitted in LaTeX. All source files that are uploaded to the submission system will be automatically compiled into a single PDF file to be approved by the Author at the end of the submission process. While the compiled PDF will be used during peer review, the uploaded source files will be sent to the Publisher for publication upon acceptance. Please do not use subfolders for your LaTeX submission, e.g. for figures or bibliographic files. Should you require additional technical information for uploading and compiling your LaTeX submission, please refer to the following resource: https://www.ariessys.com/wp-content/uploads/EM_PM_LaTeX_Guide.pdf.
Submission
Manuscripts are submitted to Journal of Artificial Intelligence for Medical Sciences using online submission and peer review system. Please click on the Submit Manuscript on the journal homepage for a link to access this system. Instructions will be provided on screen for uploading all the relevant information and files associated with your submission. All manuscripts must be in the English language and Authors are advised to ensure clarity, brevity and accuracy of the information provided.
Note that the submission of a manuscript means that the research described has not been published previously in other journals, that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, that its publication is approved by all Authors – either tacitly or explicitly – and by the responsible authorities where the work was carried out, and that upon acceptance the article will not be published elsewhere in the same form, either in English or in any other language, including in any electronic medium, without the written permission of the journal owner. The editorial team of Journal of Artificial Intelligence for Medical Sciences verifies the originality of submitted manuscripts using similarity detection software.
Submission to the journal proceeds in an online environment only where Authors will be stepwise guided through the process of entering article details and uploading submission files. The online submission system automatically converts all source files into a single PDF file which is used in the peer review process. Please note that even though source files are converted to PDF at submission, the original editable files (e.g. in Word or LaTeX) are still needed for further processing and typesetting after acceptance. All correspondence, including notification of the Editor’s decision and requests for revision, is sent via email.
