Journal of Artificial Intelligence Applied to Science (JAIAS)
The Journal of Artificial Intelligence Applied to Science (JAIAS) is dedicated to the rapid dissemination of impactful research results in the application of artificial intelligence (AI) across various scientific disciplines. The journal’s scope includes, but is not limited to, AI-driven advancements in healthcare, engineering, environmental sciences, physics, chemistry, life sciences, and other fields where AI plays a transformative role.
Articles published in JAIAS must meet the highest quality standards, measured by the originality and significance of the contribution, as well as the clarity of exposition. Submissions should present research with both theoretical and practical implications. Authors are expected to clearly articulate their claims and support them through empirical experiments or theoretical analyses. When applicable, we encourage authors to implement their methodologies and demonstrate their utility in solving significant scientific problems; reported experiments should be reproducible. Papers describing AI-based systems should emphasize their contributions and underlying principles, while theoretical papers should also discuss their practical applications. It should be evident how the work advances the current state of knowledge, why the advancement is important, and how these contributions can be leveraged in practice or by other researchers.
Authors must appropriately acknowledge prior research contributions. If a paper introduces new terminology or techniques, it should also explain the limitations of existing approaches and the necessity of the proposed innovations.
Concise, high-quality submissions are encouraged. In addition to full-length research articles, JAIAS publishes research notes and survey articles. Research notes are brief papers that extend or evaluate previous work, typically focusing on a specific problem or technique already recognized as significant in the literature. Survey articles provide tutorials or literature reviews, offering analysis and insights that advance the understanding of AI applications in science while making the subject accessible to a broad audience of researchers and practitioners.
Given the importance of survey articles, JAIAS maintains a separate set of Guidelines for Survey Articles.
All potential authors should refer to our Information for Authors and detailed Submission Requirements before submitting their manuscripts.
All JAIAS articles are open access. JAIAS follows the "Diamond Open Access" model, ensuring that all published content is freely available to the global research community without publication fees for authors. The journal is community-supported, reinforcing our commitment to the widespread dissemination of AI-driven scientific advancements.
Surveys Editor: Erick Toque
JAIAS is committed to publishing high-quality survey articles that are of broad interest to researchers in artificial intelligence and its applications across various scientific domains. All survey articles undergo the same rigorous peer-review process as regular research articles and are held to the highest standards of significance, relevance, and technical clarity.
The purpose of a survey paper is to address one or more of the following objectives:
Synthesize AI research – Analyze a significant body of AI-driven scientific advancements and make them more accessible to a broader audience.
Contextualize research impact – Position existing AI research results in a broader scientific framework, highlighting their relevance and contributions.
Bridge research gaps – Connect previously unlinked lines of research to inspire new investigations and interdisciplinary applications.
Identify research challenges – Highlight current limitations and open questions in AI applications across different scientific fields, guiding future research directions.
Survey articles will be evaluated based on their scope, clarity, novelty of perspective, and the relevance and timeliness of the research areas being examined. While all JAIAS articles must adhere to high standards of exposition and presentation, survey papers must be particularly clear, well-structured, and accessible to a broad scientific audience.
JAIAS will occasionally publish special tracks or virtual collections. Each special track will have a dedicated page on the JAIAS website, featuring a preface written by the track editors, a table of contents, and links to the published papers. The papers included in a special track will be managed by its editors, but they will be processed and published online asynchronously as soon as they are finalized. Once all designated papers are published, the virtual collection will be officially launched.
Special tracks can be proposed by a group of editors that includes at least one current or former JAIAS Associate Editor, who will act as the contact editor for the track.
A formal written proposal should be submitted to the Editor-in-Chief, detailing the motivation, scope, timeline, and list of editors for the special track. The proposal will be reviewed by the JAIAS Advisory Board and Associate Editors for feedback. A final decision will be made by the Editor-in-Chief and Associate Editor-in-Chief within one month of submission.
Once approved, the editors of the special track will be responsible for advertising the Call for Papers, including the submission start date and deadline. These details must be clearly specified in the call.
All submissions to a special track will follow the standard JAIAS submission process. Authors must clearly indicate the special track in a note under "Special Information for Editors" on the submission form.
Each submission will be assigned within the JAIAS tracking system to the contact editor, who will coordinate the review process with the other track editors.
Editors of a special track may co-author submissions, but these submissions will be assigned to an independent JAIAS Associate Editor who is not involved in editing the special track.
The review process will follow standard JAIAS procedures, with reviewer selection and acceptance decisions managed by the track editors and coordinated by the contact editor. The standard JAIAS policies and review templates should be used. The turnaround time for JAIAS papers is typically 2-3 months, and this expectation will remain the same for special track submissions.
Decisions will adhere to standard JAIAS criteria, with at most two rounds of review. Papers requiring major revisions will not be accepted but may be encouraged for resubmission. Unlike regular JAIAS submissions, resubmission deadlines for major revisions in special tracks will be limited to a few months, as determined by the special track editors.
Accepted papers will proceed to production and be published as soon as they are ready. They will first appear individually as part of the standard JAIAS publication pipeline.
Once most of the papers designated for a special track are published, the track editors will provide a preface, and the virtual collection will be formally launched. The release of the virtual collection will be announced alongside the regular JAIAS updates on newly published papers. Papers still under review at the time of the virtual collection’s launch will be added upon publication.
