Submission Preparation Checklist

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.
  • The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).
  • The submission file is in Microsoft Word (.docx) format and follows the MJI template.
  • Where available, URLs for the references have been provided.
  • The text uses Times New Roman 10 pt with 1.5 line spacing, as specified in the Author Guidelines; employs italics, rather than underlining (except with URL addresses); and all illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.
  • The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines, which is found in About the Journal.
  • If submitting to a peer-reviewed section of the journal, the instructions in Ensuring a Blind Review have been followed.
  • The manuscript is written in English and applies an artificial intelligence or machine learning method whose performance is evaluated, in accordance with the Initial Screening Policy in the Author Guidelines.
  • Every author has a valid ORCID iD and a full affiliation (institution and country) entered in the submission metadata, at least 3 English keywords are provided, and the complete reference list (IEEE style, with DOIs where available) is pasted into the References field.
  • Any use of generative AI tools in preparing the manuscript is disclosed in a "Declaration of Generative AI Use" section, in line with the MJI AI Policy, and no AI tool is listed as an author.

Author Guidelines

MJI writers need to pay attention to the following:
  • MJI considers all manuscripts on the strict condition that they are only submitted to MJI and have not been published or submitted elsewhere.
  • MJI's contribution must be in the form of research or scientific articles related to the focus and scope of MJI.
  • Manuscripts must be submitted using an MS-Word document (.docx); In A4 paper format, Times New Roman 10 with two columns and 1.5 spacing. Number of pages 8 - 25 pages. Paper margins must be set left, top right and bottom 2 cm.
  • Manuscripts must be written in English. Place the page title in the center with Times New Roman 14 font style. The title is presented in bold and does not use numbering.
  • Manuscripts must be arranged in the following order: title page (must be written concisely describing the contents of the paper), author's name (without title), author's affiliation with postal address, email address, abstract (150-200 words), keywords (Minimum 4 words) key, written in alphabetical order, and separated by commas), introduction (containing background, paper objectives or context), main text (can be presented into subcategories), conclusion, acknowledgments, attachments, and references.
  • Citation / manuscript references must use the IEEE format.

Initial Screening Policy

All submissions are screened by the editor before peer review based on the following criteria:

  1. AI content (mandatory). The manuscript must apply an artificial intelligence or machine learning method (e.g., classification, prediction, clustering, deep learning, natural language processing, computer vision, or fuzzy systems) and evaluate its performance with appropriate metrics (e.g., accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, RMSE, or MAPE). Manuscripts that only develop information systems (e.g., Waterfall/SDLC with Black Box Testing), apply multi-criteria decision-making methods with manually defined weights (e.g., SAW, MOORA, SMART, TOPSIS, or Profile Matching), or present surveys without an AI component will be rejected.
  2. AI component not yet evaluated. Manuscripts that use an AI method but do not evaluate its performance will be returned for major revision.
  3. Language and file format. Manuscripts must be written in English and submitted as a Microsoft Word file (.docx) following the MJI template. Manuscripts that meet the AI criteria but do not meet these requirements will be returned to the authors for correction.
  4. Complete submissions that meet all criteria will proceed to peer review.

Author Metadata and References

  • ORCID iD (required). Every author must provide a valid ORCID iD (https://orcid.org) in the submission metadata. Registration at ORCID is free.
  • Affiliation (required). Enter the full institutional affiliation and country for every author in the submission metadata, exactly as written in the manuscript.
  • Keywords (required). Provide 3–6 keywords in English.
  • References (required). Paste the complete reference list into the References field of the submission form, one reference per line, in IEEE style. References are deposited to Crossref with the article DOI.
  • Reference quality. Use at least 20 references, of which at least 80% are primary sources (journal articles or conference proceedings) and at least 60% are published within the last five years. Include the DOI for every reference that has one.
