Open Access & Publication Model

AJAAI follows a complete Gold Open Access publishing model, making all published articles immediately and permanently available at no cost to readers, in full compliance with the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI) and the CC BY 4.0 license.

This model allows unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.

To maintain high publishing standards — including rigorous peer review, editorial processing, professional typesetting, proofreading, production, and long-term digital archiving — Article Processing Charges (APCs) are applied only after a manuscript has been formally accepted.

The open-access model ensures:

• Global visibility and unrestricted accessibility
• Higher citation potential and Scopus/WoS discoverability
• Rapid and wide dissemination of AI and analytics research
• Compliance with major funder mandates including Plan S, NIH Open Access Policy, and Horizon Europe
• Unrestricted knowledge sharing for academia, industry, and society

Editorial & Peer-Review Ethics

AJAAI upholds the highest standards of scholarly publishing ethics in full alignment with internationally recognized guidelines and frameworks:

• COPE – Committee on Publication Ethics
• ICMJE – International Committee of Medical Journal Editors
• STM Association Best Practices for Ethical Publishing
• WAME – World Association of Medical Editors
• Elsevier Publishing Ethics Standards

All submitted manuscripts must:

• Be original, novel, and previously unpublished
• Not be under concurrent consideration at any other journal
• Adhere to ethical research design, conduct, and reporting principles
• Include proper disclosure of funding sources, conflicts of interest, and author contributions

Peer-Review Process

1. Initial Editorial Screening

All submissions undergo a thorough initial editorial check for relevance to the journal's scope, structural completeness, language quality, originality, and compliance with submission guidelines. Manuscripts failing to meet baseline standards are desk-rejected with feedback.

2. Double-Blind Peer Review

Qualifying manuscripts are assigned to a minimum of two independent expert reviewers with domain-specific expertise. Author and reviewer identities remain mutually concealed throughout the process, ensuring impartiality, objectivity, and scientific integrity.

3. Final Editorial Decision

Editorial decisions — Accept, Minor Revision, Major Revision, or Reject — are based on consolidated reviewer recommendations, scientific rigor, analytical accuracy, novelty, and the significance of contributions to the field of AI and analytics. All decisions are communicated with comprehensive reviewer feedback.

AJAAI strictly prohibits:

• Plagiarism or duplicate publication
• Data fabrication, falsification, or manipulation
• Unethical research practices or experimentation
• Undisclosed conflicts of interest
• Ghost authorship, gift authorship, or misuse of authorship roles

Manuscripts are screened using iThenticate / Turnitin prior to peer review. Authors may consult detailed reviewer and editorial guidelines at https://ajaai.com/index.php/ajaai/.

Preservation & Archiving Policy

AJAAI ensures the permanent preservation and long-term accessibility of all published scholarly content through internationally recognized digital preservation networks:

• CLOCKSS – Controlled Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe
• Portico – Long-term Digital Preservation Service
• Internet Archive – Open Web Preservation
• Redundant secure server-based backup systems
• Standardized long-term storage formats (XML / PDF/A)

These measures guarantee that all articles published in AJAAI remain permanently accessible to the global research community, regardless of future changes in technology or publishing infrastructure.

Retraction & Correction Policy

To protect academic integrity and the reliability of the scientific record, AJAAI adheres to the COPE Retraction Guidelines and may issue the following notices:

Corrections For minor factual or typographical errors that do not affect the central findings, conclusions, or validity of the research.

Expressions of Concern Issued when substantial concerns arise during or after publication that require ongoing investigation before a final determination is made.

Retractions Applied in substantiated cases involving:

• Proven research misconduct or ethical violations
• Invalid, unreliable, or fabricated results
• Confirmed plagiarism or unauthorized content reuse
• Duplicate submission or unauthorized prior publication
• Significant methodological flaws that invalidate conclusions

All retraction notices remain permanently published and accessible at https://ajaai.com/index.php/ajaai/ to ensure full transparency and the integrity of the scholarly record.
