The Journal of Engineering Science (JES) is published twice in a year (June and December) under the auspices of Faculty of Civil Engineering, Khulna University of Engineering & Technology, Khulna-9203, Bangladesh. The Journal publishes original research papers and short communications in the fields of all Engineering and all Sciences and Review Articles after being property reviewed (Double blind peer review) by the experts in the respective fields. However, all contributions submitted will be referred. The Editorial Board is responsible for the final acceptance of any paper and the Board’s decision is final in case of any controversy.
Purpose of Reviewing: The submitted paper is peer-reviewed (Double Blind) to judge its quality for the journal JES. The Editorial Board may ask authors to make revisions of the paper to satisfy the requirement. It should be noted, however, that the author is inherently responsible for the quality of the published paper.
Reviewer: The Editorial Board assigns three reviewers’ expertise in the relevant areas for each paper based on the contents.
Judgment by Reviewer: Based on the evaluation and comparison with past published papers in elsewhere, the reviewer judges whether the paper is to be accepted or rejected. The reviewer should try to be accepted a paper that can contribute to the future academic/technological development, even if it has some drawbacks. When the reviewer recommends rejection, reasons should be given according to the items mentioned in the prescribed format of Paper Review Report. The results of review are to be described and communicated to the author(s) in detail regardless of its acceptance or rejection.
Decision by Editorial Board: The Editorial Board judges if paper is to be accepted based on the reports by three reviewers. In principle, if two or more of the three reviewers recommend the acceptance, the paper will be accepted. If any reviewer requires a revision on the paper, the Editorial Board may request author to revise the paper. Editorial Board will review the revised paper to judge whether the author has given satisfactory revision and response to the comments by reviewer. The reviewer may be requested to re-review the paper for this purpose. The Editorial Board has responsibility in its final judgment and notifies the decision promptly to the concerned.
