Peer Review Process
Our rigorous peer-review process ensures the scientific validity, originality, and relevance of published content:
- Type: Double-blind peer review, where the identities of authors and reviewers are concealed to eliminate bias.
- Procedure:
- Initial screening by the Editorial Office for scope, format, and ethical compliance.
- Assignment to at least two independent reviewers with expertise in the relevant engineering field.
- Reviewers evaluate the manuscript for technical accuracy, novelty, methodology, and clarity, providing detailed feedback within 15-20 days.
- The Editor-in-Chief or Associate Editors make the final decision: Accept, Revise, or Reject.
- Timeline: The review process typically takes 2-4 weeks, aligning with our monthly publication schedule. Authors are notified promptly of decisions and provided with reviewer comments for revisions.
- Transparency: Reviewers adhere to COPE ethical guidelines, and conflicts of interest are disclosed and managed appropriately.
