Scope
As explained in the Editorial Charter, ACM TIST welcomes innovative, high-impact articles on emerging or deployed intelligent systems and technology with solid evaluation or evidence of success on a variety of topics. These topics include, but are not limited to:
intelligent agent systems
intelligent bioinformatics and biomedical systems
intelligent information and multimedia systems
intelligent robotic systems
intelligent tutoring and educational systems
knowledge engineering, modeling and capture systems
knowledge based software engineering
large-scale machine learning systems and technology
machine learning applications
online commerce, games, information search and advertising systems
planning and scheduling systems
social intelligence systems
speech and language understanding and processing systems
user behavior modeling and learning, intelligent user interfaces
The journal also welcomes articles on multidisciplinary systems such as brain sciences, social intelligence, and integration of intelligent systems with business, science and engineering applications.
Submission categories
TIST accepts manuscript submissions in the following two categories. In both categories, submissions should not be under review by another journal or conference:
Previously unpublished research paper. These are original manuscripts submitted to TIST that have not been published anywhere else.
Extended version of a published conference paper. A paper previously published in a workshop, symposium, or conference can be submitted to TIST for consideration if (1) the conference paper does not already appear in a journal, and (2) it contains significant new material (25% according to ACM Policy), such as previously missing proofs, additional examples, deeper analysis, additional experiments, implementation details, and/or the exploration of further research. Authors should clearly indicate the new contributions and justify their importance for publication at TIST. Authors should also supply the conference/workshop papers along with the submission with a note on the differences.
Publication policies and third party content
The ACM Publications Policies page addresses issues of plagiarism, copyrights (more about third party material), simultaneous submissions, etc.
Format
We prefer manuscripts submitted as PDF files, but can also accept PostScript or Microsoft Word documents. Supplementary electronic material can accompany a submission, and can be made available with the paper on the TIST web page immediately upon acceptance and in the ACM Digital Library after the submission is published.
ACM iauthoring are found at: http://www.acm.org/publications/authors/submissions. Instructions and style files are available for formatting an ACM Transactions submission using LaTeX or Microsoft Word (Small Standard Format). Please note that the final version is re-typeset by the ACM staff using a slightly different style, so do not be concerned that the above style files do not exactly reproduce the look of the journal.
Note: Please make sure to use acmsmall template for the submissions to TIST. An example paper can be found here.
Manuscript types include regular paper (~24 published journal pages or 10,000 words, and papers with >25 pages may be rejected without review), survey paper (NO page limit), research note/short paper (~10 published journal pages), addendum/corrections (2 published journal pages), letter to the editor/comments (2 published journal pages), book review article (~5 published journal pages) and TIST special issues.
Editorial/Review Process
TIST accepts submissions electronically via Manuscript Central. Authors should go there, create an account and password, login selecting "Transactions on Intelligent Systems and Technology", and proceed to the Author Center to submit a manuscript.
The process of reviewing an articles is as follows:
An administrative assistant first checks the submission for completeness and notifies the Editor-in-Chief.
The Editor-in-Chief then determines if the paper is appropriate for consideration by TIST and, if so, assigns it to an Associate Editor.
The Associate Editor reads the paper and further determines if it is appropriate for TIST consideration, and if so, selects several referees.
The referees read the submission and measure its novelty, impact and correctness, and each returns a review to the Associate Editor.
The Associate Editor collects the reviews and makes a recommendation to the Editor-in-Chief on the acceptability of the submission.
The Editor-in-Chief, based on the reviews and Associate Editor's recommendation, makes a final, binding recommendation on the acceptability of the submission, and communicates to the author this recommendation along with the Associate Editor's comments and referees reviews.
Our goal is to get your submission out as soon as possible.
We strive to complete this process from submission to decision in 1-3 months, though some papers can require longer periods to review.
If at any time during this process we determine a submission inappropriate for consideration by TIST, we will return the submission to the author immediately through administrative reject. This is to ensure that the author can decide in a timely fashion how to fix their papers or submit it to another venue.
Once a paper is accepted, we immediately make the entire paper freely available on the TIST website, until its TIST issue is physically published and it becomes available in the ACM Digital Library.
Authors are encouraged to submit non-lengthy regular papers (around 24 published journal pages or 10,000 words). Additional references, proofs, graphs or detailed experiment results can be submitted and published in a separate appendix. Lengthy papers will be rejected automatically.
For assistance, please contact the Editor-In-Chief.
