Peer Review Process
Peer review is an integral part of scientific publishing that confirms the validity of the manuscript. AICEI peer reviewers are experts in the relevant field who volunteer their time to help improve the value of the manuscripts they review. Manuscripts submitted AICEI Proceedings undergo rigorous double bling peer review process. The assigned Editor-in-Chief is responsible for conducting an initial check after the manuscript submission and during the phase of the double-blind peer review process. A minimum of two reviewers evaluate the quality of the manuscript and suggestions and submit recommendation to the editor in the form of a written report and a summarized recommendation that can take form in one of the following: (a) manuscripts should be accepted with no changes, (b) manuscript should be accepted after minor revisions, (c) manuscripts should be accepted after major revisions or (d) manuscript should be rejected. Depending on the given recommendations, the Editor-in-Chief decides whether the manuscript should undergo a revision, be published or be rejected. The assigned Editors-in-Chief attain responsibility for preserving the academic rigor of the publication process, including objectivity of acceptance/rejection decisions. A summary of the editorial process is presented in the flowchart below.
