Publication Ethics

Appreciating the cooperation of the respected authors with the International Journal of Computers and Informatics (IJCI), published by Zagazig University, we hereby announce the following terms for article submission:

1- It is essential that the submitted article be up-to-date with new, up-to-date content.
2. The authors of an article are held accountable for the contents of their article.
3. Submitting an article or a part of it simultaneously to other journals is contrary to the ethical requirements.
4 - It is necessary to adhere to the principles of academic honesty in writing an article while using similar up-to-date research.
5 - Sufficient reasoning and logic in the conclusion should be taken into consideration.
6. It should be noted that deliberating on writing the draft, presenting the findings, and avoiding the hasty distribution of the paper's achievements and findings are of considerable importance.
7. It is not possible to delete, add, and rename authors, as well as the corresponding author, after completing the authorship form (manuscript ownership).
8. The similarities of all submitted manuscripts are checked using a Plagiarism checker upon submission. The manuscripts with similarity percentages higher than a specific threshold fail to start the reviewing process.

Declaration of generative AI in scientific writing

The below guidance only refers to the writing process, and not to the use of AI tools to analyze and draw insights from data as part of the research process.
Where authors use generative artificial intelligence (AI) and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process, authors should only use these technologies to improve readability and language. Applying the technology should be done with human oversight and control, and authors should carefully review and edit the result, as AI can generate authoritative-sounding output that can be incorrect, incomplete, or biased. AI and AI-assisted technologies should not be listed as an author or co-author, or be cited as an author. Authorship implies responsibilities and tasks that can only be attributed to and performed by humans, as outlined in IJCI’s AI policy for authors.
