Peer Review Process
Peer Review Process
The submitted manuscript undergoes a comprehensive evaluation process to ensure the quality and integrity of the publication. This rigorous process ensures that only high-quality, impactful research is published in Journal of Automotive and Mechanical Applied Technology (JAMAT).
Stage 1: Initial Editorial Screening
Initially, the editors review the manuscript to confirm that it aligns with the journal's focus and scope and that it is free from plagiarism. Manuscripts with a similarity index exceeding 20% will not be considered. The editorial team also examines whether the manuscript has significant methodological flaws or issues that require revision before proceeding.
Stage 2: Peer Review Assessment
Once the initial screening is complete, at least two peer reviewers will assess every submitted manuscript. The review process is conducted using a Double-Blind Method, ensuring anonymity for both authors and reviewers to maintain objectivity and fairness.
Evaluation Criteria:
Originality, Novelty, Methodological Rigor, Objectivity, Scientific Impact, Conclusions, Quality of References

Stage 3: Author Revision
After completing the review process, the reviewers provide detailed comments and recommendations, which are forwarded to the corresponding author. The author is required to address these comments through necessary revisions and provide appropriate responses to the reviewers' suggestions.
Stage 4: Final Decision & Publication
The revised manuscript is evaluated during an editorial board meeting where suggested decisions (acceptance, revision, or rejection) are thoroughly discussed. The final decision is communicated to the author. If accepted, the manuscript proceeds to copyediting, layout editing, and final proofreading before official publication.
