Rigorous Peer-Review

Too often a journal's decision to publish a paper is dominated by what the Editors think is interesting and will gain greater readership, both of which are subjective judgments and lead to decisions which are frustrating and delay the publication of your work. All paper submitted to AHI will be rigorously peer-reviewed under the direction of associate editors affected for each scope topic, such the judgments about both technical soundness and importance of your submissions are made after publication by the readership (who are the most qualified to determine what is of interest to them) of international specialists.

Open Access

AHI applies the Creative Commons Attribution License (CCAL) to all works we publish. Under the CCAL, authors retain ownership of the copyright for their article, but authors allow anyone to download, reuse, reprint, modify, distribute, and/or copy articles in AHI, so long as the original authors and source are cited. No permission is required from the authors or the publishers.

Publication Charges

To provide open access, AHI uses a business model in which our expenses including those of journal production, and online hosting and archiving (peer review is on a voluntary base) are recovered in part by charging a publication fee to the authors.

The Academy of Human Informatics is committed to the widest possible global participation in open access publishing, such even research articles funded by Low and Lower Middle Income Countries can afford publication.

All accepted and duely formatted manuscripts are free of charges.

Editorial and Peer-Review Process

Each submission to AHI passes through a rigorous quality control and peer-review evaluation process before receiving a decision. Beginning in 2018, we are providing the following summary data regarding our process. This information will be updated quarterly with the latest data:

Publication criteria

Based on new findings not published in other journals, the content of the journal's papers is limited to those that are recognized as contributing to a large number of readers, encouraging papers about applied research, to facilitates the discovery of connections between disciplines.

Language is preferably English, but Japanese may also be accepted in some cases.

Associate editors

see editorial board page

Peer-review process

We use an international Associate Editorial Board of over 30 academic experts, and a list of their areas of expertise is available here. Once each manuscript has passed quality control, two Associate Editors (one member of AHI's board of directors and one international Advisory) are assigned to take responsibility for the submission. The two Associate Editors are responsible for conducting the peer-review process (review themselves or delegate to adequate expert so that the review delay is kept as short as possible) and for making a decision to accept, invite revision of, or reject the article. Further details of the editorial process are described here.

The average time for publication is 1 month or less after acceptance.

Acceptance ratio

Rejected papers are given the opportunity for a formal appeal.

Indexing and Archiving

All paper published to AHI are attributed a unique DOI such it is automatically searchable via DataCite, crossref, and other partner sites. In addition, AHI maintains a personal archive of all papers published (see sample).
