Review Process
The International Journal of Electronics and Telecommunication Systems follows a structured peer-review process to evaluate the quality, originality, technical soundness, and relevance of submitted manuscripts. The process is designed to support fair, objective, and transparent editorial decisions.
1. Manuscript Submission
Authors submit their manuscripts according to the journal's submission requirements. The manuscript should be original and should not be under consideration for publication elsewhere.
2. Initial Editorial Screening
After submission, the editorial team conducts an initial assessment to determine whether the manuscript:
- Falls within the scope of the journal.
- Meets the basic formatting and submission requirements.
- Contains sufficient academic and technical content.
- Meets the journal's standards for originality and research integrity.
- Includes the required declarations and supporting information.
Manuscripts that do not meet the basic requirements may be returned to the authors or rejected at this stage.
3. Reviewer Assignment
Manuscripts that pass the initial screening are sent to appropriate independent reviewers with relevant expertise.
The journal's author guidelines indicate that manuscripts are evaluated through a double-blind peer-review process by at least two independent reviewers.
4. Peer Review
Reviewers evaluate the manuscript based on factors including:
- Originality and contribution
- Technical and methodological quality
- Accuracy and validity of results
- Clarity and organization
- Relevance to electronics and telecommunication systems
- Quality of figures, tables, and references
- Ethical and research-integrity considerations
Reviewers provide constructive comments and recommendations to assist the editorial team and authors.
5. Editorial Decision
Based on the reviewers' evaluations and the editor's assessment, the manuscript may receive one of the following decisions:
- Accept
- Minor Revision
- Major Revision
- Reject
The final decision is made by the editorial team after considering the overall quality and suitability of the manuscript.
6. Revision
When revisions are requested, authors should carefully address the reviewers' comments and submit a revised manuscript within the specified timeframe.
Authors may also be required to provide a response explaining how each significant reviewer comment has been addressed.
7. Further Review
A revised manuscript may be returned to the original reviewers for further evaluation when necessary. Additional revisions may be requested if substantial issues remain unresolved.
8. Final Acceptance
Once the manuscript satisfies the editorial and peer-review requirements, it may be formally accepted for publication. The accepted manuscript then proceeds to the journal's publication and production stages.
9. Publication
Following final acceptance and completion of the required publication procedures, the article is prepared for online publication. Published articles become part of the journal's permanent scholarly record.
10. Review Timeline
The journal's author guidelines indicate that the editorial decision is generally expected within 4–6 weeks of submission, although the actual timeframe may vary depending on reviewer availability, manuscript complexity, revisions, and other editorial factors.
