Peer-review Process
All manuscripts submitted to Journal of Artificial Intelligence for a Sustainable Built Environment undergo an initial editorial screening followed by peer review to ensure quality, originality, relevance and ethical integrity.
Upon submission, the manuscript will be assessed by the editorial team to determine whether it fits the journal's aims and scope, follows the author guidelines and meets basic standards of academic writing and presentation. A similarity or plagiarism check may also be conducted at this stage. Manuscripts that do not meet the journal's requirements may be returned to the authors for correction or rejected before peer review.
Manuscripts that pass the initial screening will be assigned for peer review. JAISBE adopts a single-blind peer-review process, in which reviewers are aware of the authors' identities, but the authors are not informed of the reviewers' identities. Each manuscript will normally be reviewed by at least two reviewers with relevant expertise in the subject area.
Based on the reviewers' comments and editorial assessment, the Editor-in-Chief and editorial team will make one of the following decisions:
-
Accept The manuscript is accepted for publication without further revision.
-
Minor Revision The manuscript requires minor corrections or improvements before acceptance.
-
Major Revision The manuscript requires substantial revision. Authors must address the reviewers' and editors' comments and resubmit the revised manuscript for further consideration.
-
Resubmit for Review The manuscript requires major improvement and may be reconsidered as a new or revised submission after significant changes have been made.
-
Reject The manuscript is not suitable for publication in the journal.
When revisions are requested, authors are expected to submit a revised manuscript together with a response letter detailing how each comment has been addressed. The revised manuscript may be re-evaluated by the editorial team or returned to the reviewers, depending on the extent of the revisions.
Once accepted, the manuscript will proceed to copyediting, formatting, proofreading and galley proof review before online publication. The journal is committed to ensuring a fair, transparent, timely and constructive review process.
