Special Issue Scope and Review Policy
This special issue features extended papers from MedPRAI. Submission is by invitation only, and only selected conference papers are eligible. Authors are expected to submit a substantially enhanced manuscript, not a direct copy of the conference version.
The journal applies a full and rigorous peer-review process. Submissions must be methodologically sound, well validated, and aligned with the special issue theme. Final publication decisions are made by the Editor-in-Chief after review and editorial assessment.
