The International Journal of Theoretical & Applied Computational Intelligence (IJTACI) adheres to a transparent, ethical, and high-quality publishing policy to ensure the integrity and impact of scholarly work. The journal encourages academic freedom, rigorous peer review, and open access to knowledge, while ensuring compliance with international publishing standards.

Open Access Policy

IJTACI is an open-access journal, which means that all articles are freely available to readers without subscription or access fees. This ensures the widest possible dissemination of research findings and supports the global exchange of knowledge. Authors retain copyright of their work and grant the journal a license to publish under the Creative Commons Attribution License (CC BY 4.0).

 

Peer Review Policy

All submissions to IJTACI undergo a peer review process. This means that:

• The identities of reviewers are concealed.
• Each manuscript is reviewed by at least two independent experts in the field.
• Reviewers are selected based on subject expertise and previous scholarly contributions.
• Editors make the final decision based on reviewers’ recommendations and the manuscript’s academic merit.

Peer review is designed to ensure the quality, originality, and validity of published work.

 

Plagiarism and Similarity Check Policy

IJTACI maintains a strict anti-plagiarism policy. All submitted manuscripts are screened using advanced plagiarism detection software (e.g., Turnitin). Manuscripts with a similarity index exceeding 15% (excluding references) may be returned for revision or rejected outright.

Self-plagiarism, duplicate submission and data fabrication are treated as serious ethical violations.
