Peer Review Policy

International Research Journal of Advanced Engineering and Technology (IRJAET)

The International Research Journal of Advanced Engineering and Technology (IRJAET) ensures the quality, integrity, and credibility of published research through a rigorous and transparent peer review process.

1. Type of Peer Review

• IRJAET uses a double-blind peer review system:

  • Authors’ identities are concealed from reviewers

  • Reviewers’ identities are concealed from authors

• This promotes unbiased and objective evaluation of manuscripts.

2. Editorial Screening

• All submissions are initially screened by editors for:

  • Relevance to the journal’s scope

  • Originality and novelty of research

  • Compliance with submission guidelines

  • Ethical standards and plagiarism checks

• Manuscripts not meeting these criteria may be rejected without external review.

3. Reviewer Selection

• Reviewers are selected based on subject-matter expertise.

• Conflicts of interest are assessed, and reviewers must disclose any potential conflicts.

• The journal maintains a diverse and qualified reviewer pool from academia and industry.

• Each manuscript is evaluated by at least two independent reviewers.

• Reviewers assess manuscripts on:

  • Originality and contribution to engineering and technology

  • Methodological rigor and technical accuracy

  • Clarity of presentation and reproducibility

  • Ethical compliance in research

• Reviewers provide constructive feedback and recommendations to the editor.

5. Editorial Decision

• Based on reviewer reports, the editor may:

  • Accept the manuscript

  • Accept with minor revisions

  • Reject the manuscript

• Editorial decisions are independent of authors’ ability to pay fees.

6. Revision and Re-Review

• Authors must respond to reviewer comments clearly.

• Revised manuscripts may be sent back to original reviewers.

7. Confidentiality

• Manuscripts and reviews are confidential.
