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.
