Review Process

All manuscripts submitted to the International Journal of Applied Informatics and Media Design (IJ-AIMD) undergo a rigorous double-blind peer review process. Each submission is first assessed by the editorial board for scope and basic suitability. Manuscripts that pass this initial screening are evaluated by at least three independent expert reviewers. Reviewers assess originality, academic quality, methodological rigor, ethical compliance, and relevance to the journal’s scope. The final editorial decision is made by the editorial board based on reviewers’ reports and recommendations.

Editorial decisions are based solely on academic merit and are independent of the author’s ability to pay publication fees.

Measures Against Plagiarism and Research Misconduct

1. Methods of Verification

1. Plagiarism Detection Software: All submitted manuscripts are analyzed using industry-standard plagiarism detection tools (e.g., Turnitin, iThenticate). These tools objectively evaluate textual similarities with other published works to identify signs of plagiarism.
2. Verification of Author Information and Data: Data sets, images, or results provided by authors are reviewed to ensure they are not fabricated or manipulated. In cases of multiple authors, we verify the appropriate attribution of contributions.
3. Peer Review Process: Every manuscript undergoes a double-blind peer review process. This ensures rigorous evaluation of originality, data reliability, and citation accuracy by impartial reviewers. Reviewers carefully assess the manuscript’s originality, adherence to academic standards, and validity of the data.

2. Risk Mitigation Measures

1.  Clear Ethical Guidelines: Our submission guidelines clearly outline ethical standards for writing and submitting academic manuscripts. This ensures authors are aware of what constitutes misconduct, such as plagiarism, duplicate submissions, data fabrication, data falsification, and inappropriate authorship attribution.
2. Handling Suspected Misconduct: If plagiarism or misconduct is suspected, the editorial board conducts a prompt investigation. If necessary, the journal may retract or require corrections to the manuscript. In severe cases, the matter may be referred to the authors’ affiliated institutions for further action.
3. Education and Awareness: We provide workshops and resources on academic ethics to authors and reviewers, fostering awareness and promoting preventive measures against misconduct.

3. Transparency and Continuous Improvement
