The Advanced Journal of Science and Innovation (AJSI) welcomes original, high-quality, and ethically conducted scholarly contributions that fall within the journal’s aims and scope. All submissions are subject to initial editorial assessment and peer review.
Authors must select the most appropriate article type during submission. The journal may reclassify a manuscript where necessary to ensure that it is reviewed and published in the most appropriate category.
1. Original Research Article
Original Research Articles report complete and original theoretical, empirical, experimental, applied, or interdisciplinary research.
These articles should make a clear contribution to knowledge and normally include:
• Title, abstract, and keywords.
• Introduction and clearly defined research objectives or questions.
• Materials and Methods or Methodology.
• Results.
• Discussion.
• Conclusion.
• References.
• Required declarations, including ethics approval, informed consent, funding, conflicts of interest, author contributions, data availability, and use of artificial intelligence tools, where applicable.
2. Review Article
Review Articles provide a critical, comprehensive, and scholarly analysis of published literature on a relevant topic within the journal’s scope.
A Review Article should:
• Define the topic, purpose, and scope of the review.
• Present a balanced and critical discussion of the relevant literature.
• Identify major developments, debates, limitations, inconsistencies, and knowledge gaps.
• Explain the implications of the reviewed evidence for research, practice, industry, policy, or society.
• Provide clear recommendations for future research where appropriate.
Narrative reviews must not be presented as systematic reviews unless they use a transparent and reproducible systematic review methodology.
3. Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Systematic Reviews use explicit, transparent, reproducible, and clearly documented methods to identify, select, critically appraise, and synthesize relevant studies addressing a focused research question.
Systematic Review manuscripts should include:
• A clearly formulated research question or objective.
• A detailed search strategy, including databases, search terms, and search dates.
• Clearly defined eligibility and exclusion criteria.
• A transparent study-selection process.
• A description of the quality or risk-of-bias assessment, where applicable.
• A transparent synthesis of the included evidence.
• A flow diagram and checklist based on an appropriate recognized reporting guideline, such as PRISMA, where applicable.
A meta-analysis may be included when the included studies are sufficiently comparable and a statistical synthesis is scientifically appropriate.
4. Methodological Article
Methodological Articles describe, evaluate, validate, compare, or introduce a research method, framework, model, protocol, analytical technique, algorithm, software tool, measurement instrument, or procedure relevant to the journal’s fields.
A Methodological Article should:
• Clearly explain the methodological innovation or improvement.
• Describe the method in sufficient detail to allow assessment and, where possible, replication.
• Compare the proposed method with relevant existing approaches where appropriate.
• Provide evidence of validity, reliability, feasibility, usefulness, performance, or practical value.
• Discuss limitations and potential applications.
5. Case Study
Case Studies present an in-depth and evidence-based analysis of a specific organization, project, technology, intervention, policy, system, event, implementation, or real-world problem.
A Case Study should:
• Clearly describe the context and significance of the case.
• State the objective, research question, or analytical focus.
• Explain the data sources, methods, and analytical approach.
• Present evidence-based findings and discussion.
• Identify practical, theoretical, managerial, engineering, technological, or policy implications.
• Protect confidential, personal, and proprietary information and obtain necessary permissions or consent where applicable.
6. Short Communication
Short Communications report concise, timely, and focused original findings, preliminary results of clear importance, technical innovations, novel applications, emerging issues, or research notes relevant to the journal’s scope.
A Short Communication must:
• Present complete, scientifically sound, and ethically conducted work.
• State the purpose, methods, key findings, and implications clearly.
• Provide sufficient information for readers to evaluate the contribution.
• Include only essential tables, figures, and references.
Short Communications must not be used to publish incomplete, fragmented, or insufficiently developed research. The editorial team may request that a Short Communication be expanded and submitted as a full Original Research Article.
7. General Requirements for All Article Types
All submitted manuscripts must:
• Fall within the journal’s aims and scope.
• Be original, unpublished, and not under consideration by another journal or publisher.
• Be prepared in accordance with the journal’s Manuscript Preparation and Submission Guidelines.
• Comply with the journal’s Publishing Ethics, research integrity, authorship, conflict-of-interest, data availability, copyright, and licensing policies.
• Be accompanied by all required declarations and supporting materials, where applicable.
The journal reserves the right to decline submissions that do not meet the required scholarly, ethical, technical, or editorial standards.
