Author Guidelines

The Journal of Renewable Energy and Sustainable Engineering welcomes research contributions from both national and international authors, subjecting all submissions to a thorough peer review process. Manuscripts are categorized as follows:

  1. Original Research Articles: Manuscripts presenting comprehensive studies with foundational or applied results in renewable energy or sustainable engineering.
  2. Review Articles: Comprehensive and critical analyses of existing literature on specific topics within renewable energy or sustainable engineering. Review articles should provide a balanced summary of current knowledge, identify gaps, and suggest directions for future research. These articles should be thorough, typically not exceeding 20,000 words.
  3. Short Communications: Condensed articles reporting preliminary findings of ongoing research. These should be concise, limited to 5000 words, and adhere to the standard structure of scientific reporting.

Review Process

  • Initial Evaluation: Manuscripts undergo an initial assessment by editorial staff, followed by a similarity check via Turnitin, where similarity must be below 15%, AI content below 5%, and no flagged issues.
  • Peer Review: The manuscript is assigned to two expert reviewers who evaluate it, providing detailed feedback and suggested revisions.
  • Revisions: Authors must address all reviewer comments and submit a detailed response letter outlining changes. Revised manuscripts should be highlighted and labeled as “Revision Version #1.”

Final Submission and Acceptance

Once the revisions are complete and accepted, an acceptance certificate will be issued to the authors.

Copyright and Responsibility

Upon acceptance, authors transfer copyright to the journal. Authors are responsible for the content of their manuscripts and are encouraged to respond to published discussions on their work within two months post-publication.

The Journal of Renewable Energy and Sustainable Engineering looks forward to your valuable contributions toward advancing the fields of renewable energy and sustainable engineering.
