Peer Review Process

Peer review process in the Journal of Modeling in Engineering is based upon a single-blind peer-reviewing system, it means that Authors' identities are known to reviewers, but authors are unaware of the identity of reviewers. The existence of a submitted manuscript will not be disclosed to anyone other than reviewers and editors. To be considered, all works should be submitted through our online editorial manuscript management and handling system. Therefore, submitting the author should have an account on the system. All submissions to journal are first reviewed by journal expert for completeness and then by editor-in-chief who decides whether they are suitable for peer review. The peer review usually involves review by at least three independent, expert peer reviewers. The editor-in-chief will consider the peer-reviewed reports when making a decision, but is not bound by the opinions or recommendations therein. A concern raised by a single peer reviewer or the editor-in-chief himself may result in the manuscript being rejected.

Peer review process:

  • Article submission by the author through the journal system
  • Checking the submitted manuscript for completeness by the journal expert
  • Content review and review based on the guidelines of the journal by the editor in chief (if the topic or the format of the article is not in accordance with the guidelines of the journal, it will be returned to the author)
  • Similarity of the article (if the similarity percentage is more than 20 percent, the article will be rejected)
  • Submission to reviewers

  • Send the reviewers' comments to the author for revision
  • Submit the revised article to the reviewers for final review
