FOCI accepts submissions on a rolling basis. As a non-profit organization, we process all initial manuscripts via our editorial review board through email to keep our overhead low and our publishing strictly open-access.
Acceptance Criteria
- Scope: Submissions must strictly fall within Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related advanced technological domains.
- Depth Range: We welcome everything from absolute foundational basics to in-depth, highly technical engineering papers. Note that selection criteria for foundational or basic papers is heavily dependent on exceptional clarity, structure, and educational value.
- Originality: Must be 100% original, previously unpublished work.
Strictly Rejected
- Submissions outside the scope of Computer Science and engineering.
- AI-generated text lacking human review, genuine insight, or mathematical proof.
- Plagiarized content or self-plagiarized redundant publications.

Formatting Guidelines
Before initiating the submission process, please ensure your manuscript adheres to the following formatting rules:
