The International Journal of Emerging Technologies in Engineering (IJETE) follows a thorough double-blind peer review process to ensure the quality, originality, and integrity of all published research. Our review system is designed to uphold academic excellence and ethical standards while ensuring a fair, unbiased, and transparent evaluation of submitted manuscripts.
Editor-in-Chief Review: Upon submission, manuscripts are initially screened by the Editor-in-Chief tocverify:
