About Applied Computing and Informatics

Aims and scope

When submitting a manuscript, authors will be taken to a service called Paperpal Preflight, an AI-driven tool that checks manuscripts against the journal's author guidelines. Authors are free to use or bypass this step and submit directly to ScholarOne.

Applied Computing and Informatics (ACI) aims to timely disseminate leading-edge knowledge to researchers, practitioners, and academics interested in the latest developments in applied computing and information systems concepts, strategies, practices, tools, and technologies. In particular, the journal encourages research studies that significantly contribute to the continuous development and improvement of IT practices worldwide.

The journal attempts to bridge the gap between the academic and industrial communities and, therefore, welcomes theoretically grounded, methodologically sound research studies that address various IT-related problems and innovations of an applied nature. The journal will serve as a forum for practitioners, researchers, managers, and IT policymakers to share their knowledge and experience in the design, development, implementation, management, and evaluation of various IT applications.

Contributions should deal with one or more of the following subjects:

  • Applied Artificial Intelligence (AI)
  • Machine Learning and Deep Learning
  • Big Data and Data Analytics
  • Digital transformation
  • Internet of Things (IoT) Applications
  • Applied Networking and Sensors
  • Software Engineering Techniques and Tools
  • Ethical in AI
  • Databases and web technologies
  • Applied Cybersecurity
  • Health Informatics
  • Neural Networks Applications
  • Applied Intelligent Systems and Autonomous robotics
  • Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and User Interface (UI)
  • Cloud Computing

The articles submitted for publication in ACI need to be a coherent and fluent expression of the findings of authors’ research or review, as the case may be. The papers published in ACI are clearly focused towards the IT-related aspects of applied research or review.

Repetition needs to be avoided and citations should be used rather than to describe the earlier published findings. The introduction concisely introduces the background and takes stock of recent research published in quality journals. Focus remains on discussion enriched by quality citations. The conclusion is merely a take-home message for the reader rather than a repetition of the results.

The papers by non-native English-speaking authors should be language edited by professional language editors, as appropriate.
