Originality and Ethical Requirements

Authors must submit original work that has not been published previously and is not under consideration by another journal. Manuscripts must be free from plagiarism, fabrication, falsification, duplicate publication, and misleading reporting.

Authors are responsible for ensuring that:

• All data, calculations, results, and interpretations are accurate.
• Proper references are provided for all borrowed ideas, text, figures, tables, data, standards, software, and technical materials.
• All listed authors have made meaningful contributions to the work.
• All authors have reviewed and approved the final manuscript before submission.
• Required ethical approval, institutional permissions, and informed consent have been obtained where applicable.
• Confidential industrial information, proprietary data, and restricted technical material are handled responsibly.
• Any material use of artificial intelligence tools, automated software, simulation platforms, or language-support tools is appropriately disclosed.

Peer Review Process

All submitted manuscripts undergo initial editorial screening before external review. The journal follows a double-blind peer-review process, in which the identities of authors and reviewers are kept confidential during the review stage.

Manuscripts are evaluated on the basis of originality, technical quality, research methodology, accuracy of analysis, clarity of presentation, ethical compliance, relevance to the journal’s scope, and contribution to applied engineering.

Authors may be requested to revise their manuscript in response to reviewer or editorial comments. The final decision regarding acceptance, revision, or rejection is made by the Editor-in-Chief or authorized editorial team.

Submission Checklist

Before submitting a manuscript, authors should ensure that:

• The manuscript is within the journal’s scope.
• The work is original and has not been submitted elsewhere.
• All authors have approved the final manuscript.
• The title, abstract, and keywords accurately represent the research.
• References are complete, accurate, and properly formatted.
• Tables, figures, diagrams, and equations are clearly numbered and cited.
• Funding, conflict-of-interest, and ethical declarations are included where required.
• Author names, affiliations, and corresponding author details are correctly provided.
• The manuscript has been checked for language quality, formatting, and similarity concerns.

Author Rights and Responsibilities

Authors remain responsible for the content, accuracy, ethical compliance, and legal status of their work. Authors must ensure that any third-party material used in the manuscript has appropriate permission, acknowledgement, or licence.

Published authors are encouraged to share and promote their work responsibly through academic profiles, institutional repositories, research networks, and professional platforms, in accordance with the journal’s copyright and licensing policies.
