- Submission deadline of August 2026 for upcoming publication cycle
Introduction
The International Journal on Cybernetics & Informatics (IJCI) is currently accepting manuscript submissions from researchers working across the broad spectrum of cybernetics-related disciplines. Published under ISSN 2277-548X (online) and 2320-8430 (print), the journal provides an open access platform for peer-reviewed scholarship examining information theory, control systems and the functional design of complex systems. As interdisciplinary research increasingly bridges traditional boundaries between engineering, biology and social sciences, IJCI aims to facilitate the exchange of ideas in emerging areas that require greater academic attention.
About the International Journal on Cybernetics & Informatics
IJCI operates as a peer-reviewed open access publication focused on cybernetics, a field concerned with understanding how systems—whether biological, mechanical or social—process information, maintain control and adapt to changing conditions. The journal’s scope reflects the inherently interdisciplinary nature of cybernetics, which emerged from efforts to identify common principles governing communication and control across diverse domains.
The publication welcomes both original research and conference proceedings, offering organisers the opportunity to publish post-conference papers through the journal. This dual function serves researchers seeking traditional journal publication alongside those presenting work at academic conferences who require a formal publication venue.
Research Areas and Thematic Scope
The journal’s coverage spans technical engineering disciplines through to applications in management, healthcare and social systems. Core technical areas include advanced control systems, robotics and artificial intelligence, neural networks, fuzzy systems and genetic algorithms. These fields share common foundations in understanding how systems process inputs, make decisions and adapt their behaviour.
Beyond traditional engineering applications, IJCI publishes research in medical cybernetics and biocybernetics, which apply systems thinking to biological processes and healthcare delivery. The journal also covers sociocybernetics and organisational cybernetics, examining how cybernetic principles illuminate social structures, management practices and entrepreneurial systems.
Applied domains include transportation systems, power systems, manufacturing systems and telecommunications. Supporting technical areas such as computer vision, image and signal processing, database systems and decision support systems round out the journal’s scope. This breadth reflects cybernetics’ foundational premise that similar principles of feedback, control and information processing operate across vastly different system types.
Who Should Consider Submitting
IJCI serves academic researchers, doctoral candidates and industry practitioners working at the intersection of systems theory, control engineering and information science. The journal’s interdisciplinary positioning makes it particularly suitable for researchers whose work bridges multiple fields—for instance, those applying machine learning techniques to biological systems or examining how organisational structures exhibit adaptive behaviour.
Conference organisers seeking a publication venue for proceedings may also find the journal relevant, as IJCI explicitly welcomes post-conference submissions.
Submission Requirements
Manuscripts must represent original work that has not been previously published or simultaneously submitted elsewhere for consideration. The current submission cycle closes in early August 2026, with notification of acceptance decisions expected later that month. Final manuscripts are due shortly after notification, with publication timing determined by the Editor-in-Chief based on editorial scheduling.
