Peer Review Process

Before submitting the manuscript, the authors should have their papers proofread for grammatical and spelling corrections as well as the readability of the papers.
The IJECS is a double-blind referred academic journal. Each manuscript would be reviewed by the editor for general suitability. If it is judged suitable, a double-blind review process takes place. Based on the recommendations of the reviewers, the editor then decides whether the article should be acceptable.
The evaluation period is short. Usually we evaluate manuscript within two months or less. Please remind us if you do not receive the review results after two months.

It is requested that authors should have their paper checked with a native English speaker colleague or professional for English syntax, grammar, etc before submission. Manuscript with serious writing problems cannot be accepted, or would not be reviewed.
