Journal of Affective Computing and Human Interfaces (JACHI)

Submit a Paper to the Journal of Affective Computing and Human Interfaces (JACHI)

Published Continuous Volume. Est. 2023.

The Journal of Affective Computing and Human Interfaces (JACHI) covers agents, robots, devices and systems that can recognize, interpret, process, and simulate human affection, sentiments and emotions along with ways of bringing together emotion artificial intelligence and other affective technologies to make people's lives better. It also focuses on human-machine interfaces to address human major senses (sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell). The journal encourages the submission of Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence systems, methods and techniques that are constantly improving because of human input while providing an effective experience between humans and machines. JACHI provides a unique, interdisciplinary research platform, covering a wide range of topics such as emotion recognition, sociable robotics, emotion behavior, human-computer communication, human senses, affective systems and emotion-based control systems useful to field practitioners, researchers, and academicians.

Submit a Manuscript to JACHI
The Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Affective Computing and Human Interfaces (JACHI) would like to invite you to consider submitting a manuscript for inclusion in this scholarly journal. The following describes the mission, the coverage and the guidelines for submission to JACHI.

Mission

The mission of the Journal of Affective Computing and Human Interfaces (JACHI) is to provide a forum for the advancement of knowledge and methods necessary to recognize, interpret, process, and simulate human feelings, sentiments and emotions, and a way to link them with human major senses. The journal is a unique interdisciplinary platform for all international researchers interested in developing interfaces, technologies and products to make people's lives better, always promoting human values, such as rights, justice, and dignity. JACHI fosters a network to discuss and promote Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence systems, and how it is possible to develop machine intelligence to understand emotion and behaviour, pushing the boundaries of previously limited artificial intelligence. The journal enables a thinking frame to discuss ethics, moral principles and techniques intended to inform the development and responsible use of artificial intelligence technology, together with enabling the conceptual synergy and symbiosis between computer scientists, cognitive scientists, robot and agent designers, as well as psychologists, neuroscientists, and philosophers.

Manuscripts will be considered within cultural alignment of the journal, quality of research conducted, research methodology, timeliness of topic, and the utility of the research findings. Researchers of both qualitative and quantitative studies are encouraged to submit their manuscripts for consideration. Practitioners are encouraged to submit manuscripts of pragmatic utility, or current best practices, within their industry.

Submission

Prospective authors should note that only original and previously unpublished article manuscripts will be considered. Interested authors must consult the Journal Guidelines for Manuscript Submission at https://www.igi-global.com/publish/contributor-resources/journal-guidelines-for-submission/?titleid=1160 PRIOR to submission. Any further questions may be answered at https://www.igi-global.com/publish/contributor-resources/before-you-write/. All article manuscript submissions will be forwarded to at least three members of the editorial review board of the journal for a double-blind peer review. The final decision regarding acceptance/revision/rejection will be based on the reviews received from the reviewers.

Starting January 1st, 2023, this journal will be converting from Hybrid Open Access to full Gold Open Access, meaning from January 1st, 2023 onward all of its published contents will be 100% open access and the copyright of the published work will stay with the author(s) ((Note: IGI Global open access journal article manuscript publishing offers authors the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) licensing arrangement. The copyright for the work remains solely with the author(s) of the article manuscript), and the publisher will provide the published contents free of charge globally (there will no longer be subscription fees or payment of any kind required for individuals and libraries to access and utilize the published contents).

Once the journal is converted to Gold Open Access in 2023 and will no longer have subscription revenue backing it, the journal will be heavily reliant on Open Access Article Processing Charges (APCs) payment provided by either the author(s) or his/her/their respective institution or another funding agency, AFTER the article manuscript submission has been through a full double-blind peer review and the Editor-in-Chief at his/her full discretion has decided to accept the manuscript based on the results of the double-blind peer review process. The APC will offset the costs of all of the activities associated with the publication of the article manuscript, including the digital tools used to support the manuscript management and review process, the typesetting, formatting and layout, online hosting, the submission of the journal’s content to numerous abstracts, directories, and indexes, third party software (plagiarism checks), editorial support which includes manuscript tracking, communications, submission guideline checks, communications with authors and reviewers, as well as all promotional support and activities which includes metadata distribution, press releases, promotional communications, web content, ads, fliers, brochures, postcards, etc. for the journal and its published contents; and the fact that all published articles will be freely accessible and able to be posted and disseminated widely by the authors.

The Article Processing Charge (APC) for this journal is currently set at $1,300 USD and authors will not be asked to provide payment of the APC fee (directly to the publisher) until AFTER their manuscript has gone through the full double-blind peer review process and the Editor-in-Chief at his/her full discretion has decided to accept the manuscript based on the results of the double-blind peer review process. Please note that there is absolutely NO correlation between the APC (Article Processing Charge) being paid by the author and the results of review process outcomes.
