Aim:

The Annals of Interdisciplinary Research aims to foster and disseminate high-quality research across diverse fields of science and technology. Our journal provides a platform for scholars, researchers, and practitioners to publish innovative, interdisciplinary studies that advance knowledge and address complex challenges in our rapidly evolving world. We are dedicated to promoting interdisciplinary collaboration, encouraging the integration of different perspectives, and facilitating the exchange of ideas that drive scientific and societal progress.

Scope:

The Annals of Interdisciplinary Research invites original research articles, reviews, case studies, and theoretical papers across a wide array of disciplines, including but not limited to:

• Natural and Physical Sciences (e.g., Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Environmental Science)
• Applied Sciences and Engineering (e.g., Computer Science, Engineering, Technology)
• Health Sciences (e.g., Medicine, Public Health, Nursing)

Publication Ethics:

The Annals of Interdisciplinary Research upholds the highest standards of publication ethics. Authors, reviewers, and editors are expected to adhere to the following ethical guidelines:

For Authors:

• Originality and Plagiarism: Authors must ensure that their work is original and has not been published elsewhere. Proper citations and acknowledgments are required for all sources and references used.
• Data Integrity: Authors must present accurate data and ensure the reproducibility of their research. Fabrication, falsification, or manipulation of data is strictly prohibited
• Authorship: All individuals who have made significant contributions to the research must be listed as co-authors. All co-authors must approve the final version of the manuscript and agree to its submission.
• Conflict of Interest: Authors must disclose any potential conflict of interest that could influence the research outcomes or interpretation.
• Ethical Treatment of Subjects: Research involving human or animal subjects must comply with ethical standards and regulations. Authors should provide evidence of appropriate ethical approval and informed consent.
• Correction and Retraction: If errors are identified in published work, authors should promptly notify the editor and cooperate in issuing corrections or retractions as necessary.
• Acknowledgment of Sources: Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must be provided. Authors should cite all relevant sources and give credit to previous research that has influenced their work
• Reporting Standards: Authors must report their research findings honestly and transparently, providing sufficient detail and references to enable replication.
• Human and animal ethics: The author(s) must ensure that no animals were harmed during the research without prior ethical approval.

For Reviewers:

• Confidentiality: Reviewers must maintain the confidentiality of the manuscript and must not disclose any information about the manuscript to anyone outside the review process.
• Objectivity: Reviews should be conducted objectively, with constructive feedback provided to improve the quality of the manuscript. Personal criticism of the authors is inappropriate.
• Conflict of Interest: Reviewers must disclose any conflicts of interest that could bias their evaluation of the manuscript and recuse themselves from the review process if necessary.
• Promptness: Reviewers should complete their reviews within the agreed-upon timeframe to facilitate timely publication.

For Editors:

• Fair Play: Editors must evaluate manuscripts based on their intellectual content without regard to the authors' race, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political philosophy.
• Confidentiality: Editors must protect the confidentiality of submitted manuscripts and must not disclose any information about a manuscript to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, and the publisher.
• Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest: Editors must not use unpublished information from submitted manuscripts for their own research without the authors' explicit written consent. Editors must recuse themselves from handling manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest.
• Publication Decisions: Editors are responsible for making publication decisions based on the manuscript's significance, originality, clarity, and relevance to the journal's scope. Decisions should be informed by the reviewers' evaluations and the journal's editorial policies.

By adhering to these ethical guidelines, the Annals of Interdisciplinary Research strives to maintain the integrity of the academic record and foster a culture of honesty, transparency, and accountability in scholarly publishing.

Declaration of generative AI in scientific writing:

Authors must declare the use of generative AI in the writing of their manuscripts upon submission. This guidance pertains specifically to the writing process and does not include the use of AI tools for data analysis or deriving insights from research data:

• Generative AI and AI-assisted technologies should be used solely to enhance the readability and language of the manuscript.
• The application of these technologies must involve human oversight and control. Authors are responsible for thoroughly reviewing and editing the AI-generated content, as AI can produce authoritative-sounding text that may be incorrect, incomplete, or biased. Authors are ultimately accountable for the content of their work.
• AI and AI-assisted technologies should not be listed or cited as authors or co-authors, as authorship implies responsibilities and tasks that only humans can fulfill.

Title of new section: Declaration of generative AI and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process.

Statement: During the preparation of this work, the author(s) used [NAME TOOL/SERVICE] to [REASON]. The author(s) reviewed and edited the content as needed after using this tool/service and take(s) full responsibility for the content of the published article.

This declaration is not required for the use of basic tools such as those used for grammar, spelling, and reference checks. If no AI tools were used, there is no need to add this statement.

Submission guidelines:

• The contribution must be original and unpublished work of the contributors.
• The plagiarism should be less than 15% andinformation should be properly cited.
• All manuscripts should be submitted in MS Word, Times New Roman, Font Size- 12 for text, 14 for headings and line spacing should be 1.5.
• The reference of the manuscript should be given at the end of the paper and in APA format.
• The manuscripts must have an abstract within 300 words, 4-5 keywords and the total words of the manuscript including abstract should be between 3000 to 5000 words.
• All submissions will be peer-reviewed and a manuscript submitted may be accepted or rejected or accepted with revisions on the basis of peer-review.
• The name of author(s), designation, official address along with email ID should mentioned below the main title of the paper.
• No publication fee will be charged for both the journals.
