JRAI Commitment
We prioritize clear decision making, ethical oversight, and consistent editorial standards for the robotics and AI community.
Decision Templates
Use structured templates for accept, revise, and reject decisions to keep messages clear and consistent. Templates also ensure key policy reminders are included.
Reviewer Database
Access reviewer profiles with expertise tags, recent activity, and conflict notes. This helps match manuscripts to appropriate technical and clinical reviewers.
Ethics Guidance
Reference quick guides for consent, animal welfare, and data privacy. These tools help flag missing documentation early.
Reporting Checklists
Checklists summarize applicable reporting standards and required statements. Editors can attach them to decision letters to streamline revisions.
AI Validation Aids
Resources highlight best practices for dataset splits, external validation, and bias checks in AI models. Use them to assess claims about performance.
Robotic Safety Review
Safety prompts cover device reliability, failure modes, and risk mitigation. These prompts support consistent evaluation of clinical robotics.
Conflict Tools
Conflict of interest forms and disclosure examples help editors verify transparency. This protects integrity in industry partnered studies.
Production Workflow
Guides explain handoff steps to production, including metadata checks and author proofing. Clear workflow reduces delays after acceptance.
Communication Playbooks
Sample responses support constructive communication with authors and reviewers. Use them when managing disagreements or delays.
Training Sessions
Periodic webinars cover policy updates and emerging standards in AI and robotics. Recordings are available for on demand review.
Quality Flags
Image screening and plagiarism reports are summarized for editor review. Escalation steps are provided when concerns arise.
Reviewer Training Materials
Short guides outline how to evaluate AI models, clinical protocols, and statistical rigor. These materials help align reviewer expectations with journal standards.
