Peer Review Process
The reviewers of MEETECH Journal are composed of experts who are competent in the fields of mechanical engineering education and mechanical engineering. The peer-review process of MEETECH Journal is as follows:
- The reviewers conduct a review or scanning and examination of the incoming manuscript to be analyzed based on conformity with their field of expertise. Reviewer has the right to refuse if it is not in accordance with their expertise and competence, and the Section Editor can redirect to other appropriate reviewers.
- The reviewed manuscript is a double-blind review (without the identity of the writer and reviewer).
- The reviewers comprehend the manuscript based on the substance (article quality) within a maximum period of 3 weeks after the manuscript is received. If within that period the review of the manuscript has not been completed, the reviewer must confirm to the Editor in Chief of the journal.
- During the review process, the reviewers provide an assessment of the manuscript through the review form that is available within an electronic journal application. If you find it difficult, reviewers can manually review the script on the checklist review form (Ms.Word format) sent by the Section Editor.
