Publication Terms and Fees

The International Journal of Computer Science and Informatics (IJCI) is committed to maintaining high standards through peer reviewing along with established ethical policies. Any violations of professional ethical rules, such as plagiarism, fraudulent use of data, and false authorship claims, affect the editors' decision regarding the publication of the research.

There are no restrictions on the type of research that can be published in the International Journal of Computer Science and Informatics (IJCI), as the journal adopts an expansive publication policy to provide the opportunity for all types of research to be published. Thus, the research may be of the type: literature review, improvement of an existing methodology, innovation of a new methodology, practical framework, case study, comparative study, analytical study, applied study, ...etc.

Due to the importance of time for all researchers, the International Journal of Computer Science and Informatics (IJCI) cooperates with a group of distinguished editors and peer reviewers who have sufficient experience, technical skills, and tools to accelerate the review and publication process as much as possible. This process usually takes a time period of one week to 3 weeks at most.

The International Journal of Computer Science and Informatics (IJCI) follows the following steps:

1. The research must be sent in a word file format by one of the researchers (authors) via the journal's email [email protected]
2. The researcher must attach to the email a copy of the **Researcher's Pledge Form** after filling it out manually and signing it so that the arbitration procedures can begin. (To get the Researcher's Pledge Form... Click Here)
3. The editor informs the researcher of the receipt of the research. Submissions made by anyone other than one of the authors will not be accepted.
4. Upon receipt of the research, the editor checks the research for compliance with the journal's template format, completeness of the research elements, that it is within the scope of the journal's specializations, and the absence of plagiarism, to make a preliminary decision of acceptance or rejection.
5. In the event of preliminary acceptance of the paper by the editorial office, the editor informs the researcher.
6. Then two reviewers are assigned to begin the review process according to a **Double-Blind Peer Review** system, so that the reviewers do not see the name of the researcher or the names of the researchers.
7. Acceptance is granted when the recommendations of both reviewers are positive.
8. If the reviewers have comments, the author must make the modifications and submit a revised version for re-evaluation.
9. Then the publication fees are paid, in case of final acceptance for the publication of the research. After that, a research publication acceptance certificate is issued.
10. Publication of the research in the next issue of the journal.

The International Journal of Computer Science and Informatics (IJCI) publishes research written in both Arabic and English. It cooperates with editors and reviewers from many universities worldwide in various disciplines. The researcher must be guided by the journal's template (as much as possible) so that the format and content of the submitted research are subject to the following conditions:

1. The research must meet the following formatting conditions:
   • Margins from all directions should be 2.5 cm, and the line spacing should be 1.0 cm.
   • The research title is written between quotation marks like this "......"
   • The title is written in **Bold** font size 18 and must be expressive of the research content.
   • For Arabic texts: the font size should be 12 and the font type Simplified Arabic.
   • For English texts: the font size should be 10 and the font type Time New Roman.
   • The titles of figures and tables should be in **Bold** color.
   • Care should be taken that figures, illustrations, photographs, and maps are clear and easy to read.
   • The research pages, including the pages for figures, appendices, tables, and footnotes, must be numbered consecutively from the beginning of the research to the end of the research.
   • The number of research pages, including figures, illustrations, and appendices, should not exceed (40) pages, except in necessary cases deemed by the editorial board.
   • Regarding reference documentation: The journal relies on the **American Psychological Association (APA)** system for scientific publishing, which is commonly used in all universities and research centers, or any other reference system, with the necessity of unifying the reference formatting style in the research.
2. Parts that must be covered in the scientific research submitted to the International Journal of Educational Sciences and Arts (IJCI)
   • Research title in both Arabic and then English.
   • Name of the researcher(s), the researcher's affiliation address, and email address.
   • Abstract in Arabic, not exceeding 350 words.
   • Abstract in English, not exceeding 350 words.
   • Keywords not exceeding 7 keywords expressive of the research content, and must be in both Arabic and English.
   • Research introduction.
   • Study problem.
   • Study hypotheses.
   • Study objectives.
   • Study importance.
   • Study limits.
   • Study terminology and its definitions.
   • Theoretical framework and previous studies.
   • Study methodology.
   • Study instrument (if any).
   • Extracted results and recommendations.
   • References

The researcher should try to adhere to these conditions as much as possible, noting that the journal has a specialized team that reviews and corrects formatting errors without affecting the content and objective of the research to help the researcher complete the task of final overall formatting of the research without any additional financial fees.

The APA method of reference documentation is widely used in scientific research, and we will summarize its most important guidelines for formatting the reference list below:

1. The reference numbers in the reference list are arranged sequentially, after ensuring that the references are arranged alphabetically in the list by the author's name.
2. If the reference is a research paper in a scientific journal, write: Author's name(s) starting with the family name, "Title of the research", Journal Name, Volume Number, Issue Number, Page Numbers, Year of Publication.
3. If the reference is a book, write: Author's name(s) starting with the family name, Book Title, Publisher Name, Year of Publication.
4. If the reference is a Master's or Doctoral thesis, write: Name of the thesis author starting with the family name, "Title of the study", mention Master's Thesis or Doctoral Dissertation, University Name, Year.
5. If the reference is a bulletin or statistic issued by an official body, write: Name of the Entity, Report Title, City, Page Numbers, Year of Publication.
6. If the reference is an electronic website, write: Author's Name, Topic Title, Year of Publication, Electronic Link, Date of Last Visit to the Link.
7. If the reference is a conference paper, write: Author's name(s) starting with the family name, Title of the study, Conference Name, Volume Number, Page Numbers, Year of Publication.
