Research articles and most other article types submitted to Artificial Intelligence & Environment undergo peer review, normally involving at least two independent expert reviewers.

Artificial Intelligence & Environment operates a single-blind peer review model, in which reviewers know the identities of the authors, but reviewer identities are not disclosed to the authors unless otherwise agreed or required by the journal.

Submitted manuscripts first undergo an editorial quality check for completeness, scope, formatting, and potential ethical or originality concerns. Manuscripts that pass the initial check are assigned to an appropriate editor for assessment and, where suitable, external peer review.

Editors consider reviewer reports when making decisions, but final editorial decisions rest with the Editor-in-Chief or designated handling editor. If an editor has a competing interest in relation to a manuscript, another qualified editor will be assigned to handle the manuscript.

The journal aims to conduct peer review in a timely manner, but review times may vary depending on reviewer availability, manuscript complexity, and editorial requirements.
