Review Policy

The journal aims to speed up the decision process without compromising on quality.

The journal has a double-blind peer review, and the peer reviewers may be editorial board members or external reviewers.

The selection of peer reviewers depends on their availability and the manuscript's subject.

Before starting the review process, the journal editor uses PLAGIARISM software.

The review time in IJIE for each round is about 4 to 6 weeks; the publication time is usually about 12 to 15 weeks, and at least two reviewers will review each article.

The following illustrates the results of reviewing:

• The manuscript will be accepted if all peer reviewers recommend the manuscript be accepted.
• The manuscript will be rejected if more than half of the peer reviewers recommend the manuscript be rejected.
• In all other cases, the reviewers' comments will be returned to the submitting author to revise the manuscript.
• It is worth mentioning that if an article needs significant revision, it is rejected, and we suggest the authors resubmit it after revision.
