Peer Review Process

IJMEAT: International Journal of Mechanical Engineering and Advanced Technology applies a peer-review process to ensure the academic quality, originality, relevance, and scientific contribution of all submitted manuscripts.

Initial Editorial Screening

All submitted manuscripts are first evaluated by the editorial team to ensure that they comply with the journal scope, author guidelines, manuscript template, reference style, and basic academic writing standards. Manuscripts that are outside the scope of the journal or do not meet the minimum requirements may be returned to the authors or rejected before review.

Plagiarism Screening

Before being sent to reviewers, manuscripts may be checked for similarity using plagiarism detection tools. Manuscripts with a high similarity index or indications of plagiarism may be rejected or returned to the authors for revision.

Review Method

IJMEAT applies a peer-review process involving reviewers with relevant expertise in the manuscript topic. Reviewers evaluate the manuscript based on originality, methodological clarity, technical accuracy, quality of analysis, relevance of discussion, and contribution to mechanical engineering and advanced technology.
