AI LETTERS

Guide For Authors

AI Letters is a prestigious journal that specializes in the publication of letters. These letters are concise, yet impactful, scholarly articles that span a maximum of two pages in length. The brevity of these pieces allows for the rapid dissemination of significant, innovative research findings across various disciplines. Despite their short length, these letters are peer-reviewed and uphold the same rigorous academic standards as longer research articles.

The Criteria of Publishing in AI Letters

• Papers must be technically correct and scientifically motivated.
• The manuscripts must meet the quality and applicable standards of research integrity.

• The results and analysis need to be described sufficiently and have not been published/presented elsewhere.
• The source of dataset need to be mentioned clearly during the manuscript.
