Peer Review Policy

Peer Review Policy

​Overview

​The Journal of Engineering-Themed Environmental Tourism (JETET) maintains a rigorous Double-Blind Peer Review process for all original research submissions. This ensures the technical validity, engineering integrity, and environmental sustainability of the works published under the ETET™ framework.

​The Review Process

1. ​Initial Desk Review: All submissions are first screened by the Editor-in-Chief for alignment with the journal’s scope (Industrial Remediation, SIDS Logistics, and Astro-Engineering).

2. ​Double-Blind Assignment: Manuscripts that pass the desk review are assigned to at least two independent Technical Validators (Peer Reviewers). To ensure objectivity:

   • ​Reviewers do not know the identity of the authors.

   • ​Authors do not know the identity of the reviewers.

3. ​Evaluation Criteria: Reviewers evaluate submissions based on:

   • ​Technical Accuracy: Structural and mechanical soundness of proposed engineering solutions.

   • ​Environmental Impact: Adherence to sustainable remediation protocols.

   • ​Originality: Contribution to the ETET™ field.

4. ​Decision Tiers: Based on reviewer feedback, the Editorial Board reaches one of four decisions:

   • ​Accept: No changes required.

   • ​Minor Revision: Small technical or formatting adjustments.

   • ​Major Revision: Significant technical rework and a second round of review.

   • ​Reject: The submission does not meet the journal’s standards or scope.

​Ethical Standards

​Reviewers are required to disclose any conflicts of interest. JETET adheres to the COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) guidelines regarding data integrity and plagiarism.

​Turnaround Time

​JETET strives to provide a first decision within 6–8 weeks of submission to ensure the timely dissemination of engineering innovations.
