Machines and Algorithms (MnA)  is a tri-annual Journal and publishes three issues in each calendar year.

1. Once a manuscript is submitted to Machines and Algorithms (MnA), the authors are not permitted to submit it to any other journal until they receive an official decision of rejection or withdrawal confirmation from MnA.
2. In each new issue, preference is given to submissions from new authors. However, if a manuscript is deemed outstanding or exceptionally significant by the reviewers, it may be considered for publication, even if the author had a paper published in the previous issue.
3. Manuscripts that do not adhere to the author guidelines provided on the Machines and Algorithms (MnA) website will not be considered for publication.
4. Any objections, grievances, or complaints from authors should be formally submitted in writing to the Editor-in-Chief for review.

6. Manuscripts must comply with ethical publishing standards and be free of plagiarism, including AI generated text. Submissions will be screened for originality using plagiarism detection tools. Any violation may result in rejection or retraction.
7. All submitted manuscripts undergo a double-blind peer review process. The editorial board reserves the right to accept, reject, or request revisions based on reviewers’ recommendations.
