Information for Authors
【官网信息】
The Innovation Informatics is a sister journal of The Innovation. It aims to drive breakthroughs in information science by bridging computer science, artificial intelligence, and domain-specific scientific applications. The journal seeks to empower data-driven discovery and foster interdisciplinary collaboration across fields such as biology, materials science, earth science, and physics. The Innovation Informatics is an international, open-access journal that publishes innovative, rigorous, and impactful research in informatics, with a focus on methods, tools, datasets, systems, and real-world applications that advance scientific understanding. Published articles will benefit from global visibility and broad dissemination, helping to shape the emerging field of informatics.
The official abbreviation of The Informatics is "Innov. Inform.".
Aims & Scope
The Innovation Informatics welcomes submission of original works from any branches of information science and technology that advance scientific research and interdisciplinary discovery, including but not limited to:
1. Innovative research on artificial intelligence in natural sciences and social sciences （AI for science and social science)
2. Fundamental theories, technologies, and methods in information science (information theory, network science, mathematical theories and models)
3. Intelligent computing and systems (mobile computing, knowledge graphs, information and hardware security, AI algorithms and supercomputing architectures, etc.)
4. Automation and control systems
5. Semiconductors and information devices
6. Optical and optoelectronic information
7. Life and health informatics (bioinformatics, health informatics, etc.)
8. Brain science and cognitive intelligence (neuroinformatics, brain-inspired computing and cognitive models, educational psychology, etc.)
9. Computational social science and policy informatics
10. Autonomous intelligence and robotic systems (embodied intelligence, robotic informatics, unmanned systems, etc.)
11. Scientific software, tools, datasets, and platforms
12. Applications of artificial intelligence in scientific research (intelligent materials, cheminformatics, computational chemistry, etc.)
13. Frontier interdisciplinary and emerging fields in information science (space science, environmental and ecological informatics, sustainable development, etc.)
Editorial Policies
At The Innovation Informatics, manuscripts are evaluated with the understanding that they have not been previously published in any form, either in print or electronic, and are not under consideration by any other publication or electronic medium. Authors must provide all in-press or submitted works that are relevant to the manuscript under consideration by The Innovation Informatics, including those cited in the manuscript. Additionally, any related manuscripts that have been submitted elsewhere during the revision process must also be included with revised manuscripts. Failure to provide copies of related manuscripts under consideration elsewhere may delay the review process and may be grounds for rejection.
For more information, please visit https://www.the-innovation.org/innovation-press/policies/editorial-policies/.
Preprint servers
Innovation Informatics welcomes submissions of manuscripts that have previously appeared on preprint servers such as arXiv, bioRxiv, medRxiv, or other recognized preprint platforms. This policy applies only to the original submitted version of the manuscript. Authors must not post any revised versions responding to editorial input or peer review, nor the final published version, on preprint servers.
Please note that Innovation Informatics' prepublication media policy still applies to studies shared via preprint servers.
Authorship
Joint first authorship and corresponding authorship are allowed. Each author may provide only one email address.
The corresponding author is responsible for ensuring that:
* All contributors deserving authorship are properly included.
* All authors have agreed to the manuscript's content and its submission to Innovation Informatics.
If the author list includes a consortium, a complete list of members may be provided in a dedicated "Consortia" section before Acknowledgments. Affiliations are not permitted in the consortia section; if needed, a separate affiliation list can be included as supplementary material.
Competing interests
Innovation Informatics emphasizes transparency in scholarly publishing. Authors must disclose any financial or non-financial interests that may affect objectivity or content.
Before acceptance, all authors are required to submit a "Declaration of Interests" form. A competing interests disclosure must also be included within the article itself under the “Declaration of Interests” section.
For full policy details, please refer to our official website.
Use of AI-assisted technologies in scientific writing
Authors using AI and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process for The Innovation Informatics should:
* Only use these technologies to improve readability and language, not to replace key researcher tasks such as interpreting data or drawing scientific conclusions.
* Apply the technology with human oversight and control, and carefully review and edit the result, as AI can generate authoritative-sounding output that can be incorrect, incomplete or biased.
* Not list AI and AI-assisted technologies as an author or co-author or cite AI as an author. Authorship implies responsibilities and tasks that can only be attributed to and performed by humans, as outlined in The Innovation Medicine's policy for AI use in authorship.
* Disclose in their manuscript the use of AI and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process by following the instructions below. A statement will appear in the published work. Please note that authors are ultimately responsible and accountable for the contents of the work.
Disclosure instructions. Authors must disclose the use of AI and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process by adding a statement at the end of their manuscript in a new section titled "Declaration of AI and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process." Statement: During the preparation of this work the author(s) used [NAME TOOL / SERVICE] in order to [REASON]. After using this tool/service, the author(s) reviewed and edited the content as needed and take(s) full responsibility for the content of the publication. This declaration does not apply to the use of basic tools for checking grammar, spelling, references etc. If there is nothing to disclose, there is no need to add a statement.
