Engineering Journal: IJOER - Peer Review and Submission Policy

Peer Review and Submission Policy:

Engineering Journal IJOER uses a careful review process to make sure all published research is of high quality. Every article submitted goes through a double-blind peer review, where both the author’s and reviewer’s identities are hidden. This ensures fair and unbiased reviews, helping maintain the journal’s standards and making sure only credible research is published.

Peer Review Process:

The journal employs a double-blind peer review process, ensuring the anonymity of both the author and the reviewer. This process helps maintain fairness and objectivity, validating research and fostering credibility in the scientific community. Although peer review has its critics, it remains the most widely accepted method of ensuring the quality of published research.

Key features of the peer review process include:

• Articles are reviewed by at least two experts, one from India and another from an international institution, based on the article’s subject area.
• The review process generally takes between 1 to 3 weeks from the date of submission.
• All submissions are checked for plagiarism before being sent for peer review.
• Reviewers focus on the originality, methodology, ethical adherence, and relevance of the manuscript.
• Editors-in-Chief make the final publication decisions based on reviewers' reports.
