Our goal is to bring works in computer science, artificial intelligence, and robotics together with readers, to provide resources to people doing research in these fields in Turkey, and to meet their publication needs.

Our journal’s scope will cover research in the fields of computer engineering, informatics, artificial intelligence, and robotics.

Our journal uses the IEEE citation and reference style. This style is available in software tools such as Zotero, Mendeley, and Endnote. Authors are encouraged to work with one of these tools to edit references and citations. Authors are kindly requested to convert the citations and reference list produced by this software tool into text with the help of the relevant button and upload them to our journal.
