Peer Review Policy

1. Review Model and Workflow

JASEE (Journal of Application and Science on Electrical Engineering) applies a double-blind peer-review policy, where both the reviewers' and authors' identities are kept concealed throughout the review process. Each submitted manuscript undergoes an initial desk evaluation by the Managing/Handling Editor for scope alignment, structural integrity, formatting compliance, and similarity check.

2. Initial Screening and Plagiarism Policy

Prior to peer review, all submissions are screened using plagiarism detection software (Turnitin). Manuscripts exceeding a 25% similarity index (or displaying significant uncredited block copying) will be returned to the author for revision or directly rejected.

3. Peer Review Assignment and Evaluation

Manuscripts passing initial screening are assigned to at least two independent expert reviewers in relevant domains of Electrical Engineering, Power Systems, Mechatronics, Telecommunications, Control Systems, or Applied Informatics. Reviewers evaluate the manuscript based on:

  • Originality and technical novelty

  • Methodological rigor, mathematical accuracy, and experimental/simulation validity

  • Clarity of data presentation, discussion, and literature synthesis

  • Quality of engineering applications and societal/industrial relevance

4. Review Timeline

JASEE is committed to efficient and transparent editorial turnaround:

  • Initial Desk Decision: 3–7 days from submission.

  • Peer Review Phase: 3–6 weeks per review round.

  • Author Revision Window: 2–3 weeks depending on the required level of revision (minor/major).

  • Final Decision to Publication: Typically within 8–12 weeks from submission.

5. Editorial Decision Categories

Based on reviewer reports, the Section/Chief Editor makes one of the following decisions:

  • Accept Submission: The manuscript is accepted without changes.

  • Revisions Required (Minor Revision): The manuscript requires minor edits addressable within two weeks.

  • Resubmit for Review (Major Revision): The manuscript requires substantial structural, theoretical, or experimental enhancements, followed by a second review round.

  • Decline Submission: The manuscript falls short of JASEE's technical/scientific standards or scope.

6. Peer Review Ethics and Integrity

Reviewers are bound by strict ethical standards. Conflicts of interest must be disclosed immediately. Reviewers must maintain confidentiality and are prohibited from using unpublished manuscript details for personal or academic gain. Editorial decisions remain independent of commercial or personal considerations.
