Peer Review Process
The International Journal of Creative Engineering and Emerging Technologies follows a structured and impartial peer review process to ensure the quality, originality, and academic integrity of published research.
1. Submission and Initial Assessment
All manuscripts are submitted through the journal’s online submission system. Upon receipt, each submission undergoes an initial editorial assessment to evaluate its relevance to the journal’s scope, compliance with submission guidelines, and adherence to ethical standards. Manuscripts that do not meet these requirements may be declined without external review.
2. Review Model
The journal operates a double-blind peer review system, in which the identities of authors and reviewers are concealed throughout the review process. This approach is intended to promote objectivity and minimize bias.
3. Selection of Reviewers
Manuscripts deemed suitable for review are evaluated by a minimum of two independent reviewers with appropriate subject expertise. Reviewers are selected based on academic qualifications, research experience, and the absence of conflicts of interest.
4. Review Criteria
Reviewers assess manuscripts based on scholarly merit, originality, methodological rigor, clarity of presentation, and contribution to the field. Reviewers provide reasoned and constructive feedback to support editorial decision-making.
5. Reviewer Responsibilities
Reviewers are expected to maintain confidentiality, conduct evaluations objectively, and complete reviews within the specified timeframe. Any potential conflicts of interest must be disclosed prior to accepting a review assignment.
6. Editorial Decision
Editorial decisions are based on reviewer recommendations and the editorial team’s assessment. Possible decisions include acceptance, revision, or rejection. The Editor-in-Chief holds final responsibility for all publication decisions.
7. Revision Process
Authors may be requested to revise their manuscripts in response to reviewer comments. Revised submissions may be returned to reviewers for further evaluation to ensure that concerns have been adequately addressed.
8. Ethical Oversight
Any ethical concerns identified during the review process, including plagiarism or data integrity issues, are investigated by the editorial office in accordance with established procedures.
9. Confidentiality and Record Keeping
All materials related to the peer review process are treated as confidential and are securely managed within the journal’s publishing system to preserve the integrity of the review process.
