Peer Review Process
Editorial Practices and Policies
All papers submitted to the Journal of Engineering Research and Technology (JERT) will go through peer review prior to acceptance for publication. The main aim of the review process is to guarantee papers are original, with significant contribution, and well presented.
1. The JERT doesn't have any submission and article processing charges.
2. The Editor should give an initial screening to the paper quality and whether the author presents the material logically, in clear and direct English, and in as concise a manner as possible.
3. The paper will be checked for similarity using Turnitin software. Any paper with 25% or higher similarity will be returned directly to the Author (s).
4. If part of the paper is published in a conference. The Author(s) should have the conference paper as a reference and state clearly what is the new contribution.
5. Paper from student thesis can be accepted in two conditions: (i) The thesis and/or the paper is not published as peer-reviewed book/manuscript, and (ii) the thesis is cited in the paper.
6. All reviews are double-blind. Any indications of the author names should be removed before the paper is sent for review.
7. Please do not disseminate the research or findings of the papers you handle in any way as paper should be treated as confidential.
8. Please report any conflict of interests if any. Please report to the Editor in Chief (EIC) immediately if you are in direct competition with the authors or you have been or are currently a co-worker or collaborator with any of the authors.
9. Papers submitted to the JERT Journals should be an original work and not previously published or under consideration by another journal. The Editor should withdraw any paper that violates this role.
10. Any reviewer who violates the guidelines provided in the “guidelines of reviewers” should be given a proper warning. If the violation is repeated, the reviewer should be barred forever.
