ASAI Evaluation Criteria
For Applied Research Manuscripts — how our double-blind peer review works and what reviewers assess.
Double-Blind Review
Checks scope, applied value, anonymization, and that raw data files are attached.
Specialists in the relevant field are invited. Authors and reviewers stay anonymous to each other.
Reviewers score each criterion and write comments for the authors and the editor.
Each reviewer recommends accept, revise, or decline; the editor makes the final decision.
What Reviewers Assess
Our reviewers assess submissions based on these key criteria.
1. Industrial & Practical Relevance
- Does the research address a specific, real-world problem in the industrial, medical, or agricultural sectors?
- Is the proposed solution feasible and scalable in a real-world environment?
- Reviewer Question: If a company adopted this research today, would it provide a measurable improvement?
2. Data Integrity & Originality
- Has the author provided the raw data/source code as required by ASAI policy?
- Are the results consistent with the provided data?
- Is there any suspicion of data manipulation or AI-generated results (not to be confused with AI-assisted writing)?
3. Technological Advancement & AI Integration
- Does the research utilize modern technologies (AI, IoT, Robotics, etc.) effectively?
- Does it contribute to the digital transformation of the specific field?
4. Environmental Impact & Sustainability
- Does the research align with ASAI's mission of environmental preservation?
- Does the solution contribute to waste reduction, resource efficiency, or a "healthy world" ecosystem?
5. Methodology & Technical Rigor
- Is the experimental design sound and reproducible?
- Are the conclusions supported by the data presented?
- Is the literature review focused on current state-of-the-art applications?
