Submitting to Discover Artificial Intelligence goes smoothly when your draft already matches the journal's own rules. Editors screen new manuscripts against the Discover Artificial Intelligence guide for authors before peer review, so formatting, structure, and required statements should be right on the first draft rather than repaired during upload. This template sets that structure up for you.
It is a manuscript shell aligned to Discover Artificial Intelligence. It covers front matter, the abstract the journal expects, a body organized to the journal's article types, and a reference list in the journal's required style. Confirm current scope and article types on the Discover Artificial Intelligence journal page before you draft.
Prepare the title, authors, affiliations, and ORCID iDs. Write the abstract to the journal's rule and word limit, organize the body to the article type, and apply the required reference style from the first citation. Complete every declaration (ethics, competing interests, funding, data availability) the Discover Artificial Intelligence guide for authors lists, and cite figures and tables in order.
The common failure modes are formatting or reference style that does not match the guide for authors, missing required statements, and an incomplete portal checklist. Clear all three against the Discover Artificial Intelligence guide for authors before you submit.
The shell mirrors what editorial staff check first: article-type fit, the abstract rules, required declarations, and the journal's reference style. For more detail see the author resources. When your draft is ready, upload it through Editorial Manager / Snapp.
| Element | DAI requirement |
|---|---|
| Abstract | Unstructured abstract of less than 250 words required for all article types. No structured format or mandatory headings specified in the guidelines. |
| Main text | Section order and length per article type |
| Declarations | Ethics, competing interests, funding, data as required |
| Figures/tables | Publication-ready; cited in order |
| Supplemental | Upload separately when used |
| Keywords | Not explicitly specified in the official guidelines. However, keywords are required for submission in Snapp (the manuscript tracking system). Published articles typically include 5-8 keywords. |
| References | Numbered reference style. The journal recommends formatting references according to NLM (National Library of Medicine) / Vancouver style. References cited in text by numbers in square brackets (e.g., [1-3, 7]). Reference list entries numbered consecutively in order of citation. Full bibliographic details required with DOIs as full DOI links where available (e.g., https://doi.org/abc). Journal may adjust reference list to match journal style upon acceptance. |
| Peer review | Single-anonymous peer review (also called single-blind). Reviewers are aware of the names and affiliations of the authors, but reviewer reports provided to authors are anonymous. |

Read the Discover Artificial Intelligence guide for authors once before drafting and once before upload. Draft the abstract after results are stable. Set the reference style before adding citations. Keep a cover letter that states your contribution and fit to Discover Artificial Intelligence in under a page.
Skim two or three recent DAI papers to calibrate depth and figure style. Make the novelty clear in the first two pages. Deposit data and code when the policy on the Discover Artificial Intelligence journal page requires it. Disclose any preprint or conference version with identifiers in the cover letter.
Do one focused pass against the Discover Artificial Intelligence guide for authors: scope, length, reference style, required declarations, and figure quality. Then submit through Editorial Manager / Snapp.
