Unified JAIAA Classification
Accepted Article Types

This Special Issue accepts only article types recognized by the regular JAIAA Author Guidelines. Special Issue designation does not create additional manuscript categories.

Systematic reviews and meta-analyses are handled as Review Articles. Brief research reports are handled as Short Communications. Industry-focused empirical studies may be submitted as Case Studies when the manuscript is structured as a scholarly case analysis.

Editorials, commentaries, opinion pieces, standalone technical reports, tutorials, white papers, and policy papers are not treated as separate submission categories unless JAIAA formally adds them to its journal-wide Article Types policy.
