For Author

Computational Discovery and Intelligent Systems (CDIS) accepts a range of manuscript types that support its mission: advancing knowledge in computational modeling, artificial intelligence, machine learning, optimization, data analytics, and intelligent systems across scientific, engineering, and applied domains. Authors may request a preferred manuscript category during submission; however, the Editor-in-Chief and Associate Editors reserve the right to determine the final classification. The chosen category will appear above the manuscript title in the published version.

Plagiarism: Manuscript Duplicity is a crime thus Plagiarism should be completely avoided. Figures and Tables extracted from any sources are considered malpractice. The Data extracted must be cited and this journal does not encourage the exact reproduction of any content. 

Article Publication Charges

Computational Discovery and Intelligent Systems (CDIS) (ISSN: XXXX-XXXX) is an Open Access publisher and the standard charge for publishing is FREE payable on acceptance of each manuscript. If you have issues, Please contact the editors for further information through the given email: (production@pub.scientificirg.com).

Article Types: Computational Discovery and Intelligent Systems (CDIS) accepts Original Articles, Review, Mini Review, Case Reports, Editorial, Letter to the Editor, Commentary, Rapid Communications and Perspectives, and Conference Proceedings.

1. Research Articles

Research Articles report original findings based on computational experiments, algorithmic development, simulations, modeling frameworks, data-driven analyses, or applied implementations of intelligent systems. Submissions may involve empirical evaluation, benchmarking, experimental datasets, statistical analysis, or domain-specific validation. Articles must demonstrate methodological rigor, reproducibility, and clear scientific contribution.
Word limit: up to 8000 words.
Format: Must follow the CDIS structured template.

2. Review Articles

Review Articles provide comprehensive overviews of existing literature and state-of-the-art developments in areas related to computational discovery, AI methodologies, machine learning architectures, optimization strategies, or intelligent system applications. Reviews should synthesize past work, identify current gaps, and propose future research directions.
Word limit: up to 6000 words.

3. Short Communications

Short Communications present concise findings, preliminary results, novel computational insights, or brief discussions of emerging concepts in intelligent systems. These articles may highlight innovative ideas, early-stage implementations, or focused observations without requiring full methodological elaboration.
Word limit: approximately 800 words.

4. Editorial Articles

Editorial Articles are invited contributions from experts reflecting on current trends, challenges, technological developments, or research priorities within computational discovery and intelligent systems. These pieces provide authoritative perspectives for the journal readership.
Word limit: up to 800 words.

5. Letters to the Editor

Letters provide scholarly commentary on articles published in CDIS. They may raise questions, offer alternative interpretations, propose clarifications, or highlight theoretical or methodological considerations. Letters must be professional, evidence-based, and directly related to prior publications in the journal.
Word limit: 400–500 words.

6. Perspectives

Perspectives offer expert reflections on computational or technological policies, emerging AI trends, evolving methodologies, or societal impacts of intelligent systems. These articles present reasoned viewpoints informed by domain expertise rather than original experimental data.
Word limit: up to 1000 words.

7. Proceedings

Proceedings consist of curated abstracts or extended summaries presented at scientific conferences, workshops, or symposia aligned with the journal’s scope. Inclusion ensures visibility, indexing, and citation recognition for contributing authors.

8. General Manuscript Classification Policy

Manuscripts submitted to CDIS are classified into the categories above based on research depth, structure, and relevance to journal standards. While authors may indicate their preferred classification in the cover letter, the editorial team determines the final category to ensure consistency and quality across publications. The assigned classification will be displayed above the title in the published manuscript.

Note: Authors must prepare and submit a cover letter with their manuscript

Manuscript Formatting Guidelines

Manuscript Title: The title should be limited to 25 words or less and should not contain abbreviations. The title should be a brief phrase describing the contents of the paper.
