Peer Review Process
Mein : Journal of Mechanical, Electrical & Industrial Technology employs a double-blind review system. All submitted articles first undergo a selection process by the editorial board to assess their scope and feasibility. Subsequently, the articles are sent for evaluation by peer reviewers. In this double-blind review process, reviewers are unaware of the authors' identities, and vice versa. Each submitted paper undergoes evaluation by at least two peer reviewers. Following the review, the articles are returned to the authors for revisions. The review process takes into account factors such as novelty, objectivity, methodology, scientific impact, conclusions, and references.
Peer Reviewer Responsibilities
As an editor or reviewer, it is your responsibility to assess the originality of the manuscript you are assigned to review. Please consult the Author Guidelines and Policies page to understand the points authors should consider before submitting their papers. While the reviews are treated confidentially, it's essential for reviewers to provide objective assessments and disclose any conflicts of interest. Reviewers should also point out relevant published work that has not been cited.
Editorial Duties
Editors hold full responsibility and authority to accept or reject articles. Editors should have no conflicts of interest concerning articles they accept or reject. Papers should only be accepted when editors are reasonably certain about their quality. If errors are identified, editors should promote corrections or retractions and maintain the anonymity of reviewers.
Review Guidelines
MEIN greatly appreciates reviewers' willingness to assess articles for our journal. Before agreeing to review a paper, reviewers should consider several points. First, if the paper falls outside your area of expertise, please inform the editor and feel free to decline the review. Second, if you are unable to evaluate the paper within the deadline, please notify the editor. Third, if you have any conflicts of interest, acknowledging them can assist in our decision-making process. If you have read the paper before or know the authors, please inform the editor.
Maintain confidentiality while reviewing the paper, and avoid direct contact with the authors. If you need to seek third-party comments, please inform the managing editor beforehand.
All MEIN papers are initially reviewed by our editor(s)-in-chief and checked for originality using plagiarism detection software. However, there have been instances where plagiarism went undetected. If you suspect any issues with originality or the accuracy of the work, please notify the editor.
Reviewers are asked to evaluate articles based on criteria such as clarity, quality, thoroughness, relevance, significance, and soundness. Leave comments in the manuscript and the review form, as these are valuable for authors' professional development.
Reviewers can also provide comments in the second section of the Review Form and make one of the following decisions based on the merits of the work:
- Accept as is.
- Accept with minor revisions,
- Revise and resubmit, or
- Reject
MEIN papers are proofread before publication, and reviewers are not obligated to correct language errors or typos. However, you are welcome to highlight such issues if you come across them.
Communication with reviewers is conducted via email, so please email your report and in-text comments to the managing editor.
