Journal of AI Enhanced Leadership (JAEL)

This document presents the founding framework for the Journal of AI‑Enhanced Leadership (JAEL), a proposed peer‑reviewed journal examining how artificial intelligence shapes leadership practice, executive decision‑making, and institutional responsibility in higher education and related organizations. JAEL positions leadership authority as the primary focus when institutions adopt algorithmic systems. The framework defines the journal’s mission, scope, editorial structure, article categories, ethical expectations, and review process. It addresses executive responsibility for AI‑related decisions affecting admissions, advising, planning, governance, and institutional credibility. Issued as a permission‑based model, this publication supports institutions and editorial teams seeking a disciplined venue for leadership research in AI‑influenced environments.
