  6. The manuscript is organized into clear sections: Introduction, Methods, Results and Discussion, Conclusion, Acknowledgment (if any), and References.
  7. References follow IEEE or APA 7th, for Computer Science and are complete and verifiable (DOIs included where available).
  8. Any datasets, code, or models used are cited or made available, consistent with JICAI's data-availability expectations.
  9. A separate title page contains author names, affiliations, and the corresponding author's contact details (kept out of the main manuscript file for double-blind review).
  10. Any use of generative AI tools is disclosed as described in Publication Ethics.

Manuscript Format

  • Font: Times New Roman 11pt, using the JICAI template.
  • Structured abstract (no explicit subheadings): Background, Methods, Results, Conclusion — max. 250 words.
  • In-text citations numbered in order of appearance, e.g., [1], [2,3], [4–6].
  • For experiments involving novel methods, sufficient detail must be provided to allow replication; established methods may be briefly described and cited.
  • Where applicable, code and trained models should be deposited in a public repository (e.g., GitHub, Zenodo) with the repository link included in the manuscript.

Cover Letter

A cover letter from the corresponding author must confirm:

  1. A brief summary of the study and its significance.
  2. That the manuscript is original and not under consideration elsewhere.
  3. That all authors have approved the submission.
  4. The article type (research / review / applied research).
  5. Suggested reviewers (name, affiliation, email), if any, with no conflict of interest.

Ethical Considerations for Authors

Authors must ensure originality and properly attribute all sources; accurately represent data and results without fabrication, falsification, or selective reporting; disclose funding and conflicts of interest; obtain any required ethical approvals and informed consent for research involving human participants or sensitive data; and respond to reviewer feedback professionally and in good faith.

Use of Generative AI Tools

Generative AI tools may be used to assist with language editing or coding support, but must be disclosed in the Methods or Acknowledgments section, specifying the tool and its role. AI tools cannot be credited as authors, and authors remain fully responsible for the accuracy and integrity of all AI-assisted content.
