Next-Generation Computing and AI applies a rigorous peer-review process to support the quality, integrity, and scholarly value of published research.

1. Manuscript Submission

Authors submit manuscripts through the journal's online submission system. Submissions should comply with the journal's aims, scope, and author requirements.

2. Initial Editorial Screening

Submitted manuscripts undergo an initial editorial assessment to determine their relevance to the journal, basic scholarly quality, completeness, and compliance with submission requirements.

3. Plagiarism and Research Integrity Checks

Manuscripts may undergo plagiarism or similarity screening and other appropriate research-integrity checks before or during peer review.

4. Peer Review

Manuscripts that pass initial screening are sent to qualified reviewers with relevant subject expertise. The journal's planned workflow uses multiple reviewers to support independent assessment.

5. Revision

Where revisions are required, authors are invited to respond to reviewer and editorial comments and submit a revised manuscript within the specified timeframe.

6. Editorial Decision

Following peer review and consideration of the reviewers' recommendations, the editor makes the final editorial decision.

7. Copyediting and Production

Accepted manuscripts proceed through copyediting, formatting, proofreading, and production before publication.

8. Publication

Approved articles are published online through the journal's website.
