Description

About the Journal The Journal of Smart Computing is an international peer-reviewed open-access journal publishing innovative research in smart computing, artificial intelligence, intelligent optimization, and data-driven technologies. The journal aims to advance interdisciplinary research that integrates computational intelligence, modern analytics, and intelligent decision-making to address emerging challenges in engineering, industry, business, healthcare, and digital transformation. Aims & scope The journal welcomes high-quality manuscripts that contribute new methods, empirical insight, or theoretical foundations to the broad field of smart computing. Our scope spans (but is not limited to): Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Data-Driven Optimization and Analytics Intelligent Operations Research Smart and Intelligent Systems Computational Intelligence Metaheuristic and Optimization Algorithms Deep Learning and Predictive Modeling Big Data and Decision Support Systems Digital Transformation and Industry 4.0 Explainable and Human-Centered AI Edge, Cloud, and Smart Computing Intelligent Applications in Engineering and Business Open Access Statement Journal of Smart Computing is a fully open-access journal. All content is made freely and permanently available online immediately upon publication, with no embargo period and no requirement for users to register. The copyright holder of each scholarly work grants usage rights to others using an open licence (Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International – CC BY 4.0). This allows any user to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of articles, crawl them for indexing, pass them as data to software, or use them for any other lawful purpose, provided appropriate attribution is given.

Authors grant the journal a non-exclusive licence to publish the work under the CC BY 4.0 licence. Copyright terms applied to the published content are separate from the copyright of this website and do not contradict the licensing terms or the open-access policy. Author Charges Journal of Smart Computing is completely free of charge. There are no submission fees, article processing charges (APCs), page charges, colour charges, or any other fees for authors. Reading and downloading all content is also free of charge for all users. Peer Review Process All research articles published in the journal undergo a rigorous quality-control process before publication. Manuscripts first receive an editorial screening for scope, originality, and basic quality. Suitable submissions are then sent for double-anonymous peer review by at least two independent external experts who are not part of the editorial team. Editorial decisions are based on the originality, methodological rigour, clarity, and significance of the work. Special-issue articles receive the same peer-review standards and oversight by the Editor-in-Chief. Papers submitted by guest editors are handled under an independent review process. Publication Ethics The journal adheres to the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) Core Practices. Clear policies are in place regarding authorship and contributorship, complaints and appeals, allegations of research misconduct, conflicts of interest, data sharing and reproducibility, ethical oversight, intellectual property, post-publication discussions, corrections, and retractions. All submitted manuscripts are routinely screened for plagiarism using iThenticate. A similarity index below 15% is required. Submissions exceeding this threshold are carefully reviewed by the editors to distinguish legitimate overlap (such as properly cited text or standard methodological descriptions) from potential plagiarism. Confirmed cases of plagiarism, data fabrication or falsification, redundant publication, or undisclosed conflicts of interest are grounds for desk rejection or retraction in accordance with COPE guidelines. Instructions for Authors Detailed instructions for authors, including manuscript preparation guidelines, types of articles accepted, authorship criteria, ethical requirements, and the submission process, are available on the Author Guidelines page: https://ciotr.com/jsc/submissions.php.

Archiving and Digital Preservation All published articles are assigned Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) via Crossref to ensure persistent identification and citability. The journal is actively developing a long-term digital preservation plan to guarantee permanent accessibility of its content in the event that the journal or publisher ceases operations. Articles are currently archived on the journal’s own servers with regular backups, and formal arrangements with recognised preservation services (such as those listed in the Keepers Registry) are being established. Indexing The journal aims to achieve inclusion in reputable international indexing and abstracting databases. Metadata registration and long-term digital archiving policies are continuously developed to maximise the visibility, accessibility, and preservation of published articles.
