Submission Guidelines

It is a peer-reviewed, open access online journal, dedicated to exploring the original research findings among the scientific communities. It publishes Research Articles, Reviews and Research Notes in all aspects of Computer Sciences. The scope of the journal is multidisciplinary, especially of applied nature.

Submission of Manuscript: Authors are requested to submit their manuscripts only online. Only papers of high scientific quality will be accepted for publication. The manuscript will be analyzed for plagiarism with Turnitin before the acceptance for the review process. Acceptance of papers is the sole discretion of the Editor based on the recommendations from the Chief Editor, editorial board members, and additional reviewers. Manuscripts submitted will be subjected to peer review by two reviewers familiar with the relevant field of research, being from a different country or at least from another institution from the author. Authors may suggest names and addresses of two experts who, in their opinion, can review the paper. The choice of referees will, however, remain with the editorial board. After the review process, the Editor will inform about the acceptance, rejection, or necessity of revision of the manuscript to the corresponding author.

  • main conclusion or significance.

An abstract of approximately 150–300 words is recommended.

Keywords

Provide 4–8 keywords or key phrases that accurately represent the subject of the article.


2. Review Articles

Review Articles provide a critical and comprehensive synthesis of published research on an important topic within the journal's scope.

A review should do more than summarise individual publications. It should identify major developments, compare findings, discuss methodological differences, identify limitations and unresolved questions, and highlight future research directions.

Recommended structure

  • Title
  • Abstract
  • Keywords
  • Introduction
  • Search Strategy / Literature Selection, where applicable
  • Thematic or Subject-Based Sections
  • Critical Analysis and Synthesis

  • AI and Automated Tools Disclosure, where applicable
  • References
  • Tables and Figures, where appropriate

The exact structure may vary according to the subject.

Length

There is no strict maximum word limit for a full Review Article. Authors should provide sufficient coverage of the relevant literature without unnecessary repetition.

Review manuscripts should normally contain a substantial and up-to-date reference base.

Authors should ensure that relevant and contrasting viewpoints are considered and that citations are balanced and appropriate.


3. Systematic Review Articles

Systematic Review Articles should use a clearly defined and reproducible methodology to identify, evaluate, and synthesise relevant published literature.

Systematic reviews should clearly describe:

  • the research question or objectives;
  • databases and sources searched;
  • search terms or search strategy;
  • inclusion and exclusion criteria;
  • study-selection procedure;
  • data extraction process;
  • quality or risk-of-bias assessment, where applicable;

  • References
  • Supplementary Material, where applicable

For systematic reviews involving quantitative synthesis, the statistical methods should be described sufficiently for readers to understand and evaluate the analysis.


4. Research Notes / Short Communications

Research Notes and Short Communications are intended for concise reports of original findings that are scientifically useful but do not require the length of a full Research Article.

They may include:

  • preliminary but significant research findings;
  • focused experimental or computational results;
  • validation of an existing method;
  • a novel observation;

The manuscript should be concise and focused. Approximately 1,500–3,000 words is recommended, although the journal may consider longer or shorter submissions depending on the contribution.


5. Methodology and Technical Articles

Methodology and Technical Articles describe a new or substantially improved:

  • algorithm;
  • computational method;
  • analytical technique;
  • software methodology;
  • mathematical or statistical approach;

6. Case Studies and Application Reports

Case Studies and Application Reports describe the application of computer-science methods, systems, algorithms, software, or technologies to a specific real-world problem or environment.

A suitable Case Study should demonstrate a clear practical or scientific contribution rather than merely describe routine software use.

The manuscript should explain:

  • the problem or application context;
  • the relevant background;

If a case study contains identifiable information relating to individuals, organisations, or confidential systems, authors must ensure that appropriate permissions, consent, anonymisation, and ethical safeguards are in place.


7. Perspectives

Perspective articles provide an informed and evidence-based discussion of an emerging issue, research direction, technology, methodology, or development within computer science.

Perspectives should present a clear scholarly argument supported by appropriate literature.

They may discuss:

  • emerging technologies;
  • future research directions;
  • methodological developments;
  • interdisciplinary opportunities;

  • Abstract
  • Keywords
  • Introduction
  • Current State of the Field
  • Key Issues or Emerging Development
  • Critical Perspective
  • Future Directions
  • Conclusion

  • AI and Automated Tools Disclosure, where applicable
  • References

Approximately 1,500–4,000 words is recommended.


8. Editorials and Invited Commentaries

Editorials and Invited Commentaries provide scholarly commentary on topics relevant to the journal, including developments in the field, significant research trends, special issues, or matters of broad interest to the journal's readership.

These contributions may be:

  • written by the Editor-in-Chief or members of the editorial team;
  • invited from recognised experts; or
  • commissioned for a particular issue or theme.

Editorials and invited commentaries should be evidence-based and should clearly distinguish interpretation or commentary from established findings.

Editorials and invited commentaries are not substitutes for original research.

The journal may subject invited commentaries to editorial assessment or peer review depending on their content and purpose. The applicable editorial process will be determined by the Editor-in-Chief.
