Peer Review Process

The International Journal of Engineering Applications and Innovations (INTLJEAI) employs a rigorous peer review process to ensure the quality and integrity of the manuscripts we publish. Peer review is an essential component of scholarly publishing, providing an impartial evaluation of submitted manuscripts by experts in the relevant field. The following outlines the peer review process followed by INTLJEAI:

1. Manuscript Submission:

  • Authors submit their manuscripts to INTLJEAI through our online submission system, following the journal's guidelines and formatting requirements.
  • Upon submission, manuscripts undergo an initial screening by the Editorial Office to ensure compliance with the journal's scope and guidelines.

2. Assignment of Reviewers:

  • Manuscripts that pass the initial screening are assigned to Associate Editors or Editorial Board members with expertise in the relevant subject area.
  • Reviewers are selected based on their expertise, qualifications, and absence of conflicts of interest with the authors or content of the manuscript.

3. Peer Review Process:

  • Reviewers evaluate the manuscript based on criteria such as originality, significance, methodology, clarity, and adherence to ethical standards.
  • Reviewers provide detailed feedback and constructive criticism to help authors improve the quality and clarity of their work.
  • The peer review process is conducted confidentially, with reviewers' identities withheld from the authors to ensure impartiality and objectivity.

4. Editorial Decision:

  • After receiving feedback from reviewers, Associate Editors or Editorial Board members make an editorial decision regarding the manuscript.
  • Possible decisions include acceptance, revision, minor revision, major revision, or rejection.
  • Authors are notified of the editorial decision along with reviewers' comments and suggestions.

5. Revision and Resubmission:

  • If the manuscript requires revisions, authors are given an opportunity to address reviewers' comments and revise their manuscript accordingly.
  • Revised manuscripts are re-evaluated by the original reviewers or, in some cases, by additional reviewers to ensure that all concerns have been adequately addressed.

6. Final Decision and Publication:

  • Upon satisfactory completion of revisions, the Associate Editor or Editorial Board member makes a final decision on the manuscript.
  • Accepted manuscripts undergo copyediting and formatting by the Editorial Office before being published online on the journal's website.
  • Authors are notified once their manuscript is published and receive a digital object identifier (DOI) for citation purposes.

7. Confidentiality and Ethics:

  • The peer review process is conducted confidentially, and reviewers are expected to treat manuscripts and their contents with confidentiality and respect.
  • INTLJEAI adheres to the highest standards of publication ethics and expects authors and reviewers to comply with ethical guidelines for research and publication.

8. Feedback and Quality Assurance:

  • INTLJEAI welcomes feedback from authors, reviewers, and readers to continually improve the peer review process and ensure the quality and relevance of published content.
  • The Editorial Office regularly monitors the peer review process to ensure efficiency, fairness, and transparency.
