Peer Review Process

All submitted manuscripts to the International Journal of Mechanical Design and Materials Science undergo an initial quality and completeness check before being assigned to a subject editor.

Each manuscript is then reviewed by two independent expert reviewers in a double-blind peer review system, ensuring anonymity between authors and reviewers.

The editorial team considers reviewer reports while making decisions, but final acceptance is based on overall scientific quality, originality, and relevance. Authors receive editorial decisions along with reviewer comments.

Reviewers are selected based on expertise, research experience, reliability, and absence of conflicts of interest. Priority is given to reviewers who provide timely, fair, and constructive evaluations.

The peer review process is strictly confidential and follows international ethical standards to ensure fairness, transparency, and unbiased evaluation of all submissions.
