Peer Review Policy
The International Journal of Engineering Innovation, Research and Development (IJEIRD) follows a rigorous and transparent Double-Blind Peer-Review Policy to ensure the publication of high-quality, original, and academically significant research work. The review process is designed to maintain ethical publishing standards, research integrity, and scholarly excellence.
Under the double-blind review system, the identities of both the authors and reviewers remain confidential throughout the review process. This policy helps ensure an unbiased, fair, and objective evaluation of all submitted manuscripts.
Initial Manuscript Screening
After submission, each manuscript undergoes an initial editorial screening to evaluate:
● Relevance to the journal’s scope
● Originality and research significance
● Manuscript structure and formatting
● Language quality and clarity
● Compliance with ethical and publication guidelines
Manuscripts that do not meet the basic journal requirements may be returned to the authors for correction or rejected before peer review.
Double-Blind Peer Review Process
Manuscripts that pass the initial screening are forwarded to subject experts and reviewers specializing in the relevant research area. During the review process:
● Reviewer identities are concealed from authors.
● Author identities are concealed from reviewers.
● The review process remains confidential and impartial.
Reviewers evaluate manuscripts based on:
● Originality and novelty of the research
● Technical and scientific quality
