identify any plagiarized content. Your study must also meet all ethical requirements as outlined in our Editorial Policies. If
the manuscript does not pass any of these checks, we may return it to you for further revisions or decline to consider your
study for publication.

9.2 Editorial assessment
Once your manuscript has passed the initial check, it will be assigned to an Assistant Editor, and then the Editor-in-Chief,
or an Associate Editor in the case of a conflict of interest, will be notified of the submission and invited to review. Regarding
Special Issue paper, after passing the initial check, the manuscript will be successively assigned to an Assistant Editor,
Guest Editor, and then to the Editor-in-Chief, or an Associate Editor in the case of conflict of interest for the Editor-in-Chief
to review. The Editor-in-Chief, or the Associate Editor may reject manuscripts that they deem highly unlikely to pass peer
review without further consultation. Once your manuscript has passed the editorial assessment, the Assistant Editor will
start to organize peer-review.
9.3 Process
Artificial Intelligence Surgery operates a single-blind review process. The technical quality of the research described in the
manuscript is assessed by a minimum of three independent expert reviewers. The Editor-in-Chief is responsible for the final
decision regarding acceptance or rejection of the manuscript.
9.4 Decisions
Your research will be judged on technical soundness only, not on its perceived impact as judged by Editors or referees.
There are three possible decisions: Accept (your study satisfies all publication criteria), Invitation to Revise (more work is
required to satisfy all criteria), and Reject (your study fails to satisfy key criteria and it is highly unlikely that further work
can address its shortcomings).
