IJER -Peer Review Process

Peer Review Process
The aim of peer review process is to ensure that high quality and original scientific studies are published. All published articles in IJER  are peer reviewed and all manuscripts submitted follows the procedure outlined below.
Initial Manuscript Evaluation
All manuscripts submitted for publication in Journal are firstly evaluated by the Editor and Editorial Board.
Policy of Peer Review
IJER employs double blind reviewing, where both the referee and author remain anonymous throughout the process.
Referee Evaluation
After initial evaluation, the manuscripts are sent two referees which are determined editor and/or editorial board. If necessary, the number of referees can be increased by editor or Editorial Board. The referees are chosen from referee board according to their expertise.
Referees are asked to evaluate the manuscript’s originality, methodology, contribution to the literature, presentation of results and support for the conclusions, and appropriate referencing of previous relevant studies. Referees might accept the manuscript, reject the manuscript or might require a revision for style and/or content.
When a revision is required by the referee or referees, the author(s) are to consider the criticism and suggestions offered by the referees, and they should be sent back the revised version of manuscript in 30 days. Revised manuscripts returned after one month will be considered as a new submissions and peer review process is started from the beginning. Referees may request more than one revision of a manuscript. Manuscripts which are not accepted for publication are not re-sent to their authors.
Final Evaluation
After favorable opinions of referees, Editorial Board is made the final evaluation. The articles accepted for publication by Editorial Board are placed in an issue sequence.
Time of Peer Review Process
The peer review process that has long time is an important problem. Naturally, the author(s) wish to take an answer about their submissions. IJER aims to complete the all peer review process within 2 weeks (14 days) after submission (one week for initial evaluation, referee evaluation and 2nd    week for final evaluation).
The author(s) that submit an article to the IJER consider accepting of these peer review conditions and procedures
