IJIMAI 2020 - Regular Issue - Vol. 6 Issue 2

The present regular issue starts with two articles related to one of the most relevant problems nowadays, which is the COVID-19 pandemic. Over the past years, there have been great advancements in health, but the evidence is that it remains a challenge to deal with pandemics and to achieve global health. IJIMAI has always reserved a space for heath topics and in the last years, a Special Issue on Big Data and e-health or a Special Issue on 3D Medicine and Artificial Intelligence were published. As Mochón and Baldominos state, “from a global perspective, a clear statement can be made: Artificial Intelligence can have an immense positive impact on societies... AI is turning into a key player at the time of diagnosing diseases at an early stage or developing new medicines and specialized treatment”. Being aware of this, a great number of researchers and scientific entities are focusing the efforts in this field and, specifically on the current world pandemic, as the researchers involved in the first two articles of this regular issue.

The International Journal of Interactive Multimedia and Artificial Intelligence - IJIMAI (ISSN 1989 - 1660) provides an interdisciplinary forum in which scientists and professionals can share their research results and report new advances on Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools or tools that use AI with interactive multimedia techniques. Already indexed in the Science Citation Index Expanded by Clarivate Analytics, within the categories “Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence” and “Computer Science, Interdisciplinary Applications”, during the next month the journal will be listed in the 2019 Journal Citation Reports. Again, given this great milestone, the IJIMAI Editorial Board reiterates its appreciation for their support to authors, reviewers and readers.
