Focus and Scope

JOANA (Journal of Artificial and Natural Acts) is a peer-reviewed academic journal that publishes high-quality research at the intersection of artificial systems and natural phenomena. The journal emphasizes the integration of computational intelligence, data-driven approaches, and natural sciences to address real-world challenges.

Focus

JOANA focuses on the design, development, and application of artificial approaches (such as artificial intelligence, modeling, and simulation) to understand, replicate, or enhance natural processes. It also encourages research that draws inspiration from natural systems to develop innovative computational or engineering solutions.

Scope

The journal welcomes original research articles, review papers, and case studies in (but not limited to) the following areas:

  • Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Applications
  • Data Science, Data Mining, and Predictive Analytics
  • Computational Modeling and Simulation of Natural Systems
  • Bio-inspired Computing and Natural Algorithms
  • Environmental Modeling and Sustainability Analytics
  • Internet of Things (IoT) and Smart Systems
  • Decision Support Systems and Expert Systems
  • Human–Computer Interaction and Intelligent Interfaces
  • Image Processing, Computer Vision, and Pattern Recognition
  • Complex Systems and Adaptive Systems
  • Applied Mathematics and Computational Methods
  • Interdisciplinary research bridging artificial and natural sciences

JOANA particularly encourages applied research with practical implications in fields such as environmental management, healthcare, agriculture, smart cities, and industrial systems.

Indexing and Visibility Targets

To enhance the visibility and impact of published articles, JOANA is committed to achieving inclusion in reputable indexing databases, including:

  • SINTA (Science and Technology Index – Indonesia)
  • DOAJ (Directory of Open Access Journals)
  • Google Scholar
  • Garuda (Garba Rujukan Digital)
  • Crossref (DOI Registration)

In the long term, JOANA aims to be indexed in:

  • Scopus
  • Web of Science (Emerging Sources Citation Index – ESCI)
