Covering the Broad Spectrum of Intelligent Systems: From Neuromorphic Engineering to Robotics

Welcome to the 5th volume of Advanced Intelligent Systems! Our premium journal had a great year in 2022, establishing its place in the community as a platform to publish and read the best research on topics such as robotics, artificial intelligence and machine learning, and neuromorphic engineering. Thanks to our board members, authors, reviewers, and readers, Advanced Intelligent Systems has gained a very good reputation, which is reflected in its bibliometric indicators. The first impact factor of the journal, released in June by Clarivate Analytics, was 7.298, which places AISY among Q1 journals in three JCR categories: Robotics (5/30), Computer Science - Artificial Intelligence (30/145), and Automation & Control (9/65). Highly cited papers have contributed the most to these successful results. The highest-cited articles published in 2019 or 2020 are included in Table 1. However, impact factor won't be the only metric reported by Wiley journals anymore. As an advocate for responsible research assessment, Wiley signed the Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA) in May 2022 to formally commit to diverse measurement of impact and contribution. We will soon add additional metrics to our journals’ homepages and promotional materials aiming to provide a well-rounded view of the value and impact of any author's contribution to the field. The scope of Advanced Intelligent Systems covers timely topics that are not only of interest to scientists and engineers but are also closely followed by the general public. Since the launch of the journal, several papers published in the journal have been highlighted by social media platforms and news outlets. This trend has continued in 2022 and is reflected in the Altmetric scores of several of our articles (Table 2). Our promotional activities to enhance the visibility of the journal and its papers continued in 2022. Articles published in Advanced Intelligent Systems are regularly picked up by the editors of our partner news platform, Advanced Science News, and highlighted on their website and Twitter account. Additionally, highlights of the journal shared via our own Twitter account have received noticeable attention from the community. The most outstanding papers published in Advanced Intelligent Systems are identified by the journal's editors and collected in the Editors’ Choice virtual issue on Wiley Online Library. Every month, along with the regular issue, a video featuring a selection of the best content is released, providing additional visibility to the articles and their authors (see the full gallery HERE). Advanced Intelligent Systems was active in the community last year as the organizer and sponsor of several events: It sponsored poster prizes at ICECS 2022 conference and at the Soft Aerial Robotics Workshop at IEEE Robosoft 2022. Additionally, the journal organized two online symposiums titled “Wiley Artificial Intelligence & Quantum Technologies Symposium” and “Soft Robotics Across Scales - Fundamentals and Applications” (see the recordings HERE). Several topics that fall within the multi-disciplinary scope of Advanced Intelligent Systems were spotlighted in 2022 through special issues on (Figure 1): 1) “Interactive Intelligent Systems and Haptic Interfaces” guest-edited by Oliver Ozioko (University of Glasgow), Arokia Nathan (University of Cambridge), and Ravinder Dahiya (University of Glasgow), and 2) “Computing Technology in Post Moore Era” guest-edited by Yuchao Yang (Peking University) and Ilia Valov (Research Centre Jülich). Special issues on Soft Robotics Across Scales, Energy Storage and Delivery in Robotics Systems, and Space Robotics will be published this year. Advanced Intelligent Systems has continued to publish interactive content in its Smart Supporting Information or Interactive Preprints collections on the Authorea platform. These projects enable our authors to publish interactive and data-driven figures, executable and responsive codes, and 3D structures alongside their papers. Further, the interactive preprints are online just a couple of days after submission, which brings greater visibility to the papers. The project has received increasing attention in the last couple of years. We are going to streamline the process even further this year, giving our authors the opportunity to submit interactive content in a faster and easier way. To help standardize data reporting, our editorial teams continue to develop submission checklists that become part of our submission process for new Research Articles. Each checklist indicates what we consider the most essential parameters that should be reported in manuscripts for a particular field of research. These checklists not only help authors understand data reporting expectations and guide their manuscript preparation, but also aid reviewers during manuscript evaluation. Ultimately, we might also publish them as part of the online supporting information, such that they can benefit our readers. We are very happy to announce that Advanced Intelligent Systems and some other Advanced journals have started to pilot a “Machine Learning Data Reporting Checklist”. For more information, please refer to the journal's Author Guidelines. We are confident that Advanced Intelligent Systems will continue to maintain its position as a reputed journal in 2023. We wish you all the best for the new year, and we are looking forward to receiving your comments, feedback, and papers! Dr. Babak Mostaghaci, Editor-in-Chief Dr. Floriano Cuccureddu, Dr. Huan Wang, Dr. Mihai Peterca, and Dr. Anamika Poduval, Editors
