GENERAL INFORMATION

About the Journal
Artificial Intelligence Surgery (AIS) is an international peer-reviewed, open access, online journal. AIS is a surgical journal
that focuses on the interface of computers and the art of surgery. The aim of this journal is to create a space for discourse in
terms of topics related to artificial intelligence (AI) in surgery such as smart surgical technology/digital surgery, computer-
assisted surgical systems and surgical data science. The intended research direction on robotics includes clinical and
technological work on tele-manipulation, cobotic-assisted technologies, robotic Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic
Surgery (NOTES) and fully autonomous robots. The journal strongly encourages submissions related to current robotic-
assisted surgery, as AI is increasingly being integrated into robotic and collaborative robotic systems through enhanced
data utilization, digitally enhanced visualization technologies, intraoperative decision support and autonomous functions.
Priority will also be given to research and clinical studies of augmented reality, image-guidance, radiomics and 3D printing
in the perioperative phase and subsequent long term follow-up. As opposed to many other journals on surgical technology,
this journal will not be limited to laparoscopy or other forms of minimally invasive surgery alone, but accept submissions
that possess significance and scientific excellence in AI, computer-enhanced imaging and any automation as it pertains to
open surgery, endoscopy and interventional radiology.

The intended research fields of the journal include general surgery, surgical oncology, urology, bariatric surgery, colorectal
surgery, trauma surgery, breast surgery, transplant surgery, orthopedics, gynecology, vascular surgery, cardio-thoracic
surgery, neurosurgery, plastic surgery and otolaryngology. The journal also welcomes papers on the ethical issues that
will arise as AI becomes more diffuse. Because surgery is a branch of medicine and surgeons also practice medicine in
the perioperative period as well as during long-term follow-up, the journal also encourages articles focusing on AI in non-
interventional medicine.

This journal supports equality, inclusion & diversity, stands against racism, discrimination based on sex or sexual
orientation, discrimination based on religion or lack thereof, and fully advocates inclusion and diversity.

The journal publishes Original Articles, Review Articles, Meta-Analyses, Systematic Reviews, Technical Notes,
Commentaries and Letters to the Editor, some of which may be related to Artificial Intelligence Surgical Centers of the
World (these articles are descriptions of Surgical, Endoscopic or Interventional Radiographic Departments that are actively
doing or researching artificial intelligence as it pertains to the delivery of all aspects of healthcare).
