Editorial and Peer Review Policy

The International Journal of Engineering, Science and Environment (IJESE) is committed to maintaining the highest standards of academic integrity, research ethics, and publication quality. The journal follows internationally accepted editorial and peer-review practices to ensure transparency, fairness, and scientific credibility in all publication decisions.

Initial Editorial Screening

All submitted manuscripts undergo an initial editorial screening process to assess their relevance to the journal’s scope, originality, formatting compliance, and overall academic quality.

Submissions that do not meet the basic requirements may be returned to authors for revision or rejected at this stage without peer review.

Double-Blind Peer Review Process

Manuscripts that successfully pass the initial assessment are forwarded for double-blind peer review, in which both the authors and reviewers remain anonymous. This process ensures unbiased evaluation and maintains the integrity of academic assessment.

Each manuscript is reviewed by at least two independent subject matter experts with relevant expertise in engineering, applied sciences, environmental studies, or related interdisciplinary fields. Based on reviewer feedback, the editorial decision is made by the handling editor.

Editorial Decisions

The possible editorial decisions include:

• Accept
• Minor Revision
• Major Revision
• Reject

The final decision is based on scientific quality, originality, technical accuracy, relevance to scope, and reviewer recommendations.

Research Integrity and Ethics

IJESE strictly enforces policies related to plagiarism, research misconduct, data fabrication, and unethical publishing practices. All submitted manuscripts are screened for originality, and any form of academic misconduct results in immediate rejection.

Editorial Responsibilities

Editors are responsible for ensuring that all decisions are made in a fair, unbiased, and timely manner, while maintaining strict confidentiality throughout the review process.

Reviewer identities and evaluation reports remain confidential at all stages of publication.

Commitment to Quality Research

Through this rigorous editorial framework, IJESE ensures the publication of high-quality, credible, and impactful research in the fields of engineering, science, and environmental studies.
