Avalilação PREreview Estruturada de Perceptions, Preparedness, and Challenges of Artificial Intelligence Integration in Government Healthcare Institutions in Al Buraimi Governorate, Oman: A Cross‑Sectional Study

Does the introduction explain the objective of the research presented in the preprint?

Partly

The introduction explains the objective clearly, but only after a very long literature review. For clarity, I would suggest to start clarifying the objective early in the introduction, and later provide the context, so that the aim of the study is clear from the beginning. Also, while most of the citations are very recent and updated, the frequent use of in-text citation takes away from the fluidity of the paper. I would suggest to reduce the number of in-text citations and prefer parenthetical citation.

Are the methods well-suited for this research?

Highly appropriate

The survey is an adequate tool for this type of research. The respondents are correctly classified in different cathegories and statistical analysis is well explained. Many data are provided in the research to support the analysis.

Is the preprint likely to advance academic knowledge?

Somewhat likely

The preprint provides interesting insights and can be of useful when conducting research on integrating AI in different healthcare contexts or for local analysis

Would it benefit from language editing?

No

It is overall clear, even if there are some language issues that need editing. For example, the sentences "Within these obscure confines near recent, regulation emphasizes that AI should be both actionable and reliable. These cannot, Olawade et al (2023), and later clear ‘go public leading public health strategy’, strong said in ‘coarse of systems include, through shaped purposes and public good, alignment’, of superbly thoughtful and consolidated interdisciplinary framing." in the introduction should be rephrased, as some words are probably missing.
