IJeR is intended to serve a wide range of educationists, scientists, specialists, researchers, and similar professionals in different engineering disciplines. Our target is to reach all universities, research centers and institutes around the globe.
IJeR is planned to serve as an academic medium and an important reference for the advancement and dissemination of research results that support high-level learning, teaching, and research.
We welcome the submission of manuscripts that meet the general criteria about significance and scientific excellence. All articles are duly peer-reviewed before publication in IJeR
The IJeR is a peer-reviewed publication that publishes essays, book reviews, short research messages, and research papers. By getting in touch with the Editor, special issues can be organized.
Peer Review Process
1. Each proposal will undergo two rounds of peer assessment.
2. All papers must contain original material. They shouldn't have been published before, and no other scholarly journal should be considering them at the same time.
3. Editors verify that the work complies with the journal's mission statement before sending it out to reviewers.
4. The journal seeks a minimum two independent referees. All submissions are subject to a double-blind peer review; the identity of both the reviewer and author are always concealed from both parties.
5. The IJeR archives all of the papers and free reports that are submitted. Submissions are not acknowledged, whether they are published or not.
6. Based on reference reports, the editorial board chooses to publish a manuscript in the journal. The paper is returned to the author if one of the references suggests some corrections. The writers have a specified amount of time to amend their articles.
7. The authors alone are accountable for the literary style of their works.
Publication Frequency
4 times a year
The four issues of IjeR Journal are released yearly in March, June, September, and December. Papers that are accepted are posted online. IjeR is published electronically online with an e-ISSN of 2799-1873 as soon as the peer-reviewing process is complete.
Open Access Policy
Every article published by IJeR is immediately accessible to everyone across the world under an open-access licence. This entails that:
(a) Everyone has unrestricted access to the full texts of all articles published in IJeR;
(b) Everyone is free to reuse published materials as long as proper attribution and citation are provided for the original publication; and
(c) Open-access publications are supported by the authors' institutes or research funding agencies through payment of the Article Processing Charge (APC) for accepted articles.
Online research publications are made freely accessible through Open Access (OA), which offers limitless access and reuse opportunities. Therefore, open access provides a network for distributing the full works, sharing them, and building upon them.
The Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI), which includes our publisher group IJMR, endorses the following definition of "Open Access":
“Its free availability on the public internet, permitting any users to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of these articles, crawl them for indexing, pass them as data to software, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than those inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself. The only constraint on reproduction and distribution, and the only role for copyright in this domain, should be to give authors control over the integrity of their work and the right to be properly acknowledged and cited”.
Licensing
The Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0 International Licence governs the open-access articles published by the IJeR. This license enables the audience to give proper credit, include a hyperlink to the license, and to say if changes have been made. Contributions that are remixed, transformed, or built upon must also be distributed by the same license as the original work.
Archiving
This journal uses Open Journal Systems 2.4.8.1, free and open-source journal administration and publishing software created by the Public Knowledge Project (PKP) and released under the terms of the GNU General Public Licence.
The LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) method, which ensures the journal's safe and long-term preservation, is supported by OJS. To archive OJS journals digitally, PKP has created a Private LOCKSS Network (PLN).
IJMR employs PKP LOCKSS for archiving as an OJS journal.

Publication Ethics Statement
IJeR abides by COPE's guidelines for publication ethics. Both its Best Practice Guidelines and its Code of Conduct are strictly followed by us.
To ensure that high caliber scientific works are added to the field of scholarly publication, the editors of this journal uphold a strong ethical code and rigorous peer-review process. Sadly, incidents of plagiarism, data falsification, image manipulation, improper authorship attribution, and similar offenses do occur. IJMR's editors take these publication ethics concerns very seriously and are taught to act in such situations with a zero-tolerance attitude.
Authors must follow these rules if they want their works to be published in IJeR:
1. Before submitting the manuscript, all information that can be interpreted as a potential conflict of interest by the author (or authors) must be mentioned.
2. Authors should describe their research findings truthfully and give a dispassionate analysis of their importance.
3. Before submitting their manuscript, the authors should ideally openly deposit their raw data. Authors must at the very least be prepared to give the raw data to the journal's editors and referees upon request. The full retention of raw data for a fair amount of time after publication must be ensured by authors by taking the necessary precautions.
4. Manuscripts submitted simultaneously to multiple journals are not accepted.
5. If errors or inaccuracies are discovered by the authors after their work has been published, they must be immediately reported to the editors of this journal so that the proper course of action can be taken.
6. There should be no content in your manuscript that has already been published. Please request the appropriate permission from the copyright holder to publish under the CC-BY license if you include previously published figures or images.
7. It is not acceptable to use plagiarism, fabricate data, or manipulate images.
8. Submissions must not contain any plagiarism. Plagiarism is the act of taking language, concepts, ideas, images, or data—even from one's publications—and using it elsewhere without providing due credit to the author of the work.
9. Text that has been taken from another source and used again must be enclosed in quotation marks, and the source must be mentioned. Any prior publications that served as inspiration for a study's design, the manuscript's organization, or its language must be expressly referenced.
10. Using iThenticate, a program that is widely used in the industry, all submissions are tested for plagiarism. The manuscript might be rejected if plagiarism is found during the peer review process.
11. Image files must not be altered in any way that would cause the information given by the original image to be misinterpreted.
12. We reserve the right to reject the submission if questionable image alteration is discovered and verified during the peer review process. After publication, if unexplained picture manipulation is discovered and verified, we may update or retract the paper.
13. Our in-house editors will look into any claims of publication misconduct and, if necessary, get in touch with the authors' institutions. If there is proof of misbehavior, the publication will be corrected or retracted as necessary. When publishing with IJMR, authors are expected to follow the most moral publication standards.
Citation Policy
When using content from another source, even their own previously published writing, authors should make sure to properly credit the source and acquire permission where necessary.
1. Authors should refrain from overusing citations to their works.
2. When an author hasn't read the mentioned work, they shouldn't replicate references from other works.
3. Advertisements and advertorial content should not be cited by authors.
4. By COPE standards, we anticipate that "original wording taken directly from publications by other researchers should appear in quotation marks with the appropriate citations." The author's work is also subject to this requirement. In a discussion document on citation manipulation, COPE makes suggestions for best practices.
Conflicts of Interest
"Authors should avoid entering into agreements with study sponsors, both for-profit and non-profit, that interfere with authors' access to all of the study's data or that interfere with their ability to analyze and interpret the data and to prepare and publish manuscripts independently when and where they choose," advises The International Committee of Medical Journal Editors.
All authors are required to disclose any connections or pursuits that would unjustifiably sway or bias their writing. Financial interests (such as membership, employment, consultancies, stock/share ownership, honoraria, grants or other funding, paid expert testimonies, and patent-licensing arrangements) and non-financial interests (such as personal or professional relationships, affiliations, and personal beliefs) are a few examples of potential conflicts of interest.
During the submission process, authors have the option to use the online submission system to declare any potential conflicts of interest. The IJMR disclosure form also allows for the collection of conflict of interest declarations. A brief declaration must be included by the relevant author in the manuscript's "Conflicts of Interest" section, which is located right before the reference list. The form's potential conflict of interest declarations should all be reflected in the statement.

Screening for Plagiarism
The author(s) of the current study and the article about the ethical duties that adhere to PUBLICATION ETHICS agree. The submitted article's content is the responsibility of each author. The iThenticate ® (Professional Plagiarism Prevention) program is used to first check articles before they are published. If more than 20% of an article's content is detected as plagiarism or self-plagiarism by the iThenticate ® program, the author will be contacted to request the necessary citations and corrections. The journal has the power to reject the manuscript if, following this procedure, the original submission still contains 20% or more plagiarised text.
