Author Guidelines

The International Journal of Educational Technology and Artificial Intelligence (IJETAI) solicits only original contributions that have not been published or are not currently being reviewed for publication elsewhere.  

All manuscripts selected for publication must maintain a high standard of content, style, and value to the readership. In addition, an essential criterion for acceptance of a manuscript for publication is the relevance of the work to educational technology and artificial intelligence. And its potential usefulness for advancing the quality of education.

IJETAI  accepts research articles and literature reviews in educational technology and computer science.

• Recommended article length is 4000 - 6000 words.
• Authors should submit their manuscripts using our OJS submission system
• The corresponding author receives a confirmation for the submission within three days.

Peer Review Procedure
IJETAI uses double-blind peer review. The editorial board mainly consists of academicians affiliated with worldwide universities and practitioners in education and computer science. Every editorial board member has a profile, including the academic domain, academic affiliation, publication, and review reports. At IJETAI, we maintain a list of active reviewers only who are in regular communication with the editorial office. 

With the permanent support of our editorial office members, specialty chief editors, and reviewers, we work on including the peer-review procedure in a decent timeframe.

IJETAI reviewers are instructed not to estimate the potential impact of a paper in a given field or its novelty. These subjective judgments could delay the publication of a work, which may later prove significant. At IJETAI, the publication's readership is in the most suitable position to determine what is of interest to them.
IJETAI promotes a rigorous peer-review procedure based on scientific validity and the technical quality of the paper. First, we would like to thank our reviewers for supporting this concept.

Review Process

1. After the submission, the corresponding author is asked to clarify that the paper has not been published elsewhere.
2. Then, contact the editorial office using their institutional email address, and confirm that they have thoroughly revised and agreed with the IJETAI publication policies.
3. The manuscript is screened for basic technical requirements.
   The corresponding author receives a confirmation email informing them whether or not the manuscript has been appropriately structured.
4. Even though the authors are responsible for potentially plagiarized content, the editorial office scans the paper's content for plagiarism by using specialized software.
5. The editorial office reserves the right to return to authors without peer review, improperly formatted manuscripts, or non-authorized submissions.
6. IJETAI reviewers for the manuscript are assigned.
7. The identity of the reviewers is anonymous, except for those willing to disclose their identity under the "open review" process, which is explained below.
8. IJETAI specialty chief editors are invited to comment on the structure of the paper and the quality of the review reports received.

Review Results 

Based on the peer review process for 4 to 6 weeks, IJETAI will make the decision including the categories:

• Accept - The accepted manuscript will be published in its current form without the need for further modification
• Accept with minor revision – Manuscripts that accept accept-waiting-revision decisions will be published on the condition of small revision.  Revisions will be reviewed by the reviewer to ensure the necessary updates are made prior to publication.
• Return for major revision and resubmission. Manuscripts need to be reworked with significant changes and require to be resubmitted.
• Reject – Rejected manuscripts will not be published and authors will not have the opportunity to resubmit the revised version of the manuscript.

The space should be a single. The title should be written a maximum of 15 words with the capitalized character of each word, 
2. The article has to enclose the author/s name. Multiple authors' names should be agreed upon by the first, second, etc. The order is usually based on the author's contribution; all authors are responsible for the article content. The authors' names should be bolded with Times New Roman 10 pt.
3. The article must enclose the author's affiliation and email address with Times New Roman 10 pt.
4. The article must be enclosed with ABSTRACT with a maximum of 200 words in essay form consisting of the research purpose, method, and result. It should be had with keywords (4 to 6 keywords). The font is Times New Roman 11 pt and space Single.
5. The article should consist of an Introduction, Method, Discussion, Conclusion, and References. The Introduction, Method, Discussion, Conclusion, and References have to be written in capitalized first character with Times New Roman font size 11 pt bold.
6. The Introduction consists of the research problem background, hypothesis (if available), research purpose, and research method. Most articles are not too extensive. The Introduction is inclined to several books as a research reference or basic and also consists of present-time knowledge. The literature review should not be written separately from the Introduction. It means the literature review is included in the Introduction.
7. . The reference should be primary, relevant, and current reference. The literature review should be manageable, meaning its scope is not too large. The research methods written in the article consist of the research object and subject and should be described in detail. Whereas the method refers to standard procedure, the standard should be enclosed.
8. The Discussion has to be written in systematic content that should consist of data/ information related to the research purpose. The table should be in a simple and open format, and the figure should focus on the studied object. The file size should be manageable and simple (the format should be in.jpg with 300 pixels/inch resolution). The table and picture should be consistent and have to be numbered. The purpose of the Discussion is to find that the author appreciates the research result and the research border. 
9. The conclusion consists of the discussion foundation and a short explanation. It should also mention future research included in the conclusion. 
10. References may come from various sources: books, documents, theses, dissertations, newspapers, journals, and the internet. The IJETAI bibliography is advisable to use management applications, for example, bibliography with Mendeley, Zetero, and Endnote with IEEE citation and reference style.

Manuscripts are to be submitted by the author through an online submission system. When submitting papers for potential publication in the IJETAI, please submit an original editable file in one of the (.doc, .docx) style files. All figures, images, tables, etc., should be embedded into the original file. Detailed instructions on preparing papers for submission also can be found in the Paper Template.

Originality and plagiarism

Plagiarism is not acceptable in the IJETAI submissions and publications. After the submission, authors are requested to declare the originality of their work by adequately citing, re-using, or copying previous publications. The manuscript will be rejected if plagiarism is detected during the peer review. If plagiarism is detected after publication, the publisher has the right to issue an erratum/corrigendum or retract the paper.

The IJETAI Editorial Office scans the content of the papers for plagiarism using specialized software. Also, ensure that the submitted manuscript's similarity index is below 2`1% as per IJETAI policy; otherwise, the article will be declared plagiarized immediately after establishing that it violates the policy.

Multiple, redundant, or concurrent publications 

 An author should only publish manuscripts describing the same research in one journal or primary publication. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unacceptable publishing behavior. In general, an author should refrain from submitting a previously published paper for consideration in another journal.

Acknowledgment of sources 

Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be given. Authors should cite publications that have influenced the nature of the reported work. Information obtained privately, as in conversation, correspondence, or discussion with third parties, must not be used or reported without explicit, written permission from the source. Likewise, information obtained in the course of confidential services, such as refereeing manuscripts or grant applications, must not be used without the explicit written permission of the author of the work involved in these services.

Authorship of the paper 

Authorship should be limited to those who have contributed significantly 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 others 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 co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the paper and have agreed to its submission for publication.
