About the Journal

The International Journal of Advances in Soft Computing and its Applications (IJASCA) is an international, peer-reviewed, fully open access scholarly journal published by Al-Zaytoonah University of Jordan. Since its establishment, the Journal has been dedicated to advancing research and innovation in Soft Computing and its applications by providing an international platform for the dissemination of high-quality scientific research.

IJASCA publishes original research articles, review papers, and other scholarly contributions that:

  • Advance the theoretical foundations, methodologies, and practical applications of Soft Computing.

  • Develop innovative methods, algorithms, models, frameworks, or computational techniques.

  • Contribute to Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Computational Intelligence, Data Science, and Intelligent Systems.

  • Present advances in Fuzzy Logic, Neural Networks, Evolutionary Computation, Swarm Intelligence, Metaheuristic Optimization, Hybrid Intelligent Systems, Uncertainty Modeling, and Approximate Reasoning.

  • Integrate Soft Computing with emerging technologies, including the Internet of Things, Cloud and Edge Computing, Digital Twins, Blockchain, Cybersecurity, Smart Cities, Smart Healthcare, and Industry 4.0.

  • Apply intelligent computational approaches to scientific, engineering, technological, industrial, economic, medical, environmental, and societal challenges.

Submitted manuscripts should clearly define the research problem, explain the originality and significance of the proposed contribution, present a sound and reproducible methodology, and provide appropriate experimental or theoretical validation. The relevance of the work to Soft Computing or its applications must be clearly demonstrated.

Review and survey articles should provide a critical and well-structured analysis of the relevant literature, identify current limitations and research gaps, and propose meaningful directions for future research.

The Journal is committed to maintaining high standards of scientific quality, editorial integrity, ethical publishing, and transparency throughout the publication process. Every submitted manuscript undergoes an initial editorial assessment, including scope, formatting, originality, and research-integrity checks, followed by a rigorous double-blind peer-review process conducted by at least two independent experts in the relevant field.

IJASCA follows internationally recognized publishing standards and best practices and is committed to promoting research excellence, academic integrity, open scientific communication, and responsible scholarly publishing. Editorial decisions are based solely on scientific merit, originality, significance, methodological and technical quality, ethical compliance, and relevance to the Journal’s aims and scope.

The Journal operates under a Fully Open Access publishing model, ensuring that all published articles are freely and permanently available to readers worldwide without subscription or access restrictions.

IJASCA does not charge manuscript submission or peer-review fees. An Article Processing Charge (APC) is payable only after a manuscript has successfully completed the peer-review process and received a final editorial decision of acceptance, in accordance with the Journal’s published Publication Fees Policy. Payment does not influence the peer-review process or editorial decision.

Authors retain the copyright to their published work, while articles are made available under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) License, in accordance with the Journal’s Copyright, Licensing, and Author Rights Policy.

To provide a secure, transparent, and efficient publishing workflow, IJASCA utilizes the Open Journal Systems (OJS) platform for manuscript submission, editorial management, peer review, production, and publication.

Researchers, academics, professionals, and practitioners worldwide are invited to submit original, high-quality manuscripts that advance the theory and practice of Soft Computing and its applications and contribute to the development of intelligent, efficient, reliable, and sustainable computational solutions for real-world challenges.
