Peer Review Process

International Journal of Machine Learning and Networked Collaborative Engineering (IJMLNCE) ISSN 2581-3242 takes advantage of the efficiency and faster turnaround of the e-journal system while maintaining the high standards of excellence that characterize traditional scientific journals. An integral part of this publication system is an unbiased, independent, and critical peer-review process.

Initial review

After a submission has been uploaded, an editor of the journal examines whether a submission falls within the journal's subject area and complies with the formal guidelines of the journal.

The first round of review

All original submissions that are suitable for inclusion undergo a rigorous single-blind peer review by two reviewers. External specialists or subject matter experts from the Editorial Board conduct peer review at the request of the assigned editor(s). Reviewers’ identities are concealed by the author.
Once a paper has entered the peer review process, the respective author is informed of the approximate date by which the managing editors will discuss and evaluate their manuscript as well as the date of possible publication. To facilitate timely publication, reviewers are asked to complete their reviews within one month.

Four types of reviewer recommendation are possible:

  1. Accept submission
  2. Likely accept, but minor revisions required
  3. Likely accept, but major revisions required
  4. Decline submission

The second round of review

In case a reviewer requests that an article be revised, the author has the opportunity to amend the article and resubmit it for a second review.
If minor revisions were required, the assigned editor(s) decides whether the amendments the author has made have taken into account all the points raised in the initial review.
If major revisions were needed, the revised version will be reevaluated by at least one of the reviewers. The review process, including possible resubmissions, may take up to three to four months.

Final decision

Based on the reviewers' recommendations the assigned editor(s) finally approve or refuse contributions, and the author is informed of the decision and its reasons.

Ethics

Reviewers for Technologies for Lightweight Structures must confirm:

  • that all manuscripts are reviewed in fairness and honesty based on the intellectual content of the paper regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, religion, citizenry, political affiliation, and values nor paradigmatic orientation of author(s);
  • that any observed conflict of interest during the review process must be communicated to the managing editor. Such conflicts of interest can occur if the reviewer is asked to referee a paper written by a colleague of the same organization, former or current student, former advisor, frequent co-author, or closely-related person. If the conflict is severe, the reviewer should recuse himself/herself;
  • that all information pertaining to the manuscript is treated as confidential, not to be disclosed to others prior to publication;
  • that any information that may be the reason for the rejection of publication of a manuscript must be communicated to the managing editor.
  • that deadlines agreed upon are met. Reviewers are kindly asked to complete their reviews within one month. If more time is needed, reviewers should contact the assigned editor(s) promptly.

 

Author fees:  We are Un-Paid category journal, and do not charge any fee for article publication from the author.

Research misconduct case: Publishers and editors are very specific and serious to take reasonable steps to identify and prevent the publication of papers where research misconduct has occurred, including plagiarism, citation manipulation, and data falsification/fabrication, among others. We request authors, readers, and researchers to communicate with us in case they came to know any such information, so the corrective measures could be taken timely. It’s also planned to constitute at least 05 members' team to take the final decision about such a case.

 Conflicts of interest: Keeping in view of conflicts of interest, the manuscript assigned to the reviewers are blind in nature, also its keep in mind that the manuscript is communicated to at least two different countries reviewers, and also some time in case they are not interested to review due to certain reasons, then it's submitted to some other board members.

 Access: The Journal is Open Access, and manuscripts are freely available through journal archives. Each article is available to open access to readers and whether there are associated or not associated with us.

Archiving:  IJMLNCE is archived in PORTICO  for electronic backup and preservation of access to the journal content.  for example, access to main articles via PORTICO  in the event a journal is no longer published shall be clearly indicated.

 

 Publication Frequency

International Journal of Machine Learning and Networked Collaborative Engineering (IJMLNCE) ISSN 2581-3242 is published quarterly in the month of March,  June,  October & December.

 

Open Access Policy

Utilizing the potential of Open Access, the journal employs a system of rapid publication. To this end, each individual accepted article is made available in an “open issue” as soon as it is ready for publication, often weeks or months before the issue is complete. When all articles for that issue are published, the issue is closed and a new open issue is started. This guarantees that the visibility and impact of the authors' contributions are accelerated.

Manuscript Copyright: Copyright and licensing information are clearly described on the journal’s Web site as well as it must be abiding by the author while uploading the manuscript.
