For Authors

Everything you need to prepare, submit, and publish your work at REGKT — a multidisciplinary, open-access journal committed to rigor, transparency, and reuse.

What We Publish

  • Original Research — full-length articles advancing state of the art.
  • Short Communications — focused contributions with rapid impact.
  • Replication Studies — confirmatory work, including negative results.
  • Datasets & Benchmarks — curated data, evaluation suites, leaderboards.
  • Tools & Protocols — reusable software, pipelines, and methods.
  • Perspectives — concise, evidence-based viewpoints on emerging topics.

Domains span AI/ML, data engineering, systems & infrastructure, health informatics, HCI, CPS/IoT, sustainability, and data policy.

Prepare Your Manuscript

  • Structure: Title, Authors/affiliations, Abstract (≤250 words), Keywords, Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion, Acknowledgments.
  • Length: 6,000–9,000 words typical; Short Communications ≤3,000.
  • Figures/Tables: Numbered, high-resolution; captions must be self-contained.
  • References: Consistent style (APA/IEEE/ACM acceptable); include DOIs where available.
  • ORCID: Provide ORCIDs for all authors where possible.
  • Data & Code: Provide availability statements and persistent links (e.g., Zenodo, OSF, GitHub releases).
  • Licensing: Recommend CC BY 4.0 for article text; code under OSI-approved license.
  • Artifacts: Include README and version tags; cite datasets and software formally.

Use our Author Template (DOCX) or LaTeX Class for consistent formatting. Minor formatting issues won’t block peer review.

Ethics, COI & Integrity

  • Conflicts of Interest (COI): disclose for all authors and editors.
  • Human/Animal Research: provide IRB/ethics approvals and consent where applicable.
  • AI & Sensitive Data: describe safeguards, privacy, and compliance (e.g., de-identification).
  • Integrity Checks: submissions undergo plagiarism and image/data forensics screening.

Peer Review Process

REGKT uses double-blind review with at least two independent reviewers and an Academic Editor.
