Peer Review

  • Review Policy

Journal of Automotive Science and Engineering Technology uses Double-Blind Reviewing process. This means that the reviewer identities are concealed from the authors throughout the review process. Reviewers will not be influenced by the authors because reviewer anonymity allows for impartial

  • Review Guidelines
  1. Purpose of Peer Review

The peer-review process ensures the quality, originality, and validity of published research. Reviewers play a critical role in maintaining the journal’s standards by providing constructive, unbiased, and timely feedback to authors.

  • Review Process
  1. Reviewer Responsibilities
  • Evaluate manuscript quality in terms of:
    • Originality & Innovation – Does the work present novel contributions?
    • Technical Soundness – Are methods, analysis, and results scientifically rigorous?
    • Clarity & Organization – Is the paper well-structured and clearly written?
    • Relevance to the Field – Does the work advance engineering knowledge?
  • Check for ethical compliance (plagiarism, data fabrication, proper citations).
  • Provide detailed, objective, and constructive feedback (avoid personal bias).
  • Maintain confidentiality—do not share or discuss the manuscript with others.
  • Submit the review within the deadline (typically 2-4 weeks).
