Journal of Renewable and New Energy

Peer Review Policy

The Journal of Renewable and New Energy follows a double-blind peer review process. This means that the identities of both authors and reviewers remain anonymous to each other throughout the review process.

Submission and Acceptance Guidelines

Authors are required to submit their scientific work strictly as a full-length research article aligned with the journal’s specialized focus on renewable and new energy.
A template approved by the journal is available under the "Author Guidelines" section on the website.
Submissions that do not adhere to the required format or are missing essential files will not enter the review process and will be returned to the authors for correction.

Manuscript Evaluation and Review Process

1. Initial Screening

All submissions are first screened for completeness and compliance with formatting standards. Incomplete or improperly formatted manuscripts will be returned to the authors for revision.

2. Editorial Assessment

If the manuscript meets the structural and formatting requirements, the scientific content and subject relevance are assessed by the editor-in-chief or a subject editor. Upon approval, the paper proceeds to peer review.

3. Peer Review

Approved manuscripts are sent to at least three expert reviewers in the relevant field. Based on their evaluations, the manuscript may fall into one of two categories:

• If, after peer review or subsequent revisions, at least two reviewers recommend the publication of the manuscript, it will be granted final acceptance.
• Conversely, if at least two reviewers provide negative recommendations (rejection), the manuscript will be declined based on their evaluations.

4. Author Revisions

The authors are required to address all reviewer comments thoroughly within the specified time frame and submit the revised version.

5. Final Review (Comparative Evaluation)

The revised manuscript is re-evaluated by the same reviewers. If the revisions are approved, the manuscript proceeds to final acceptance. Otherwise, it will either be returned to the author for further revisions or be formally rejected.

6. Final Acceptance

Once the manuscript is revised according to reviewer feedback and the changes are approved, final acceptance is granted and communicated to the corresponding author.

7. Publication Fee Payment

Upon final acceptance, the corresponding author is required to pay the publication fee according to the journal’s policies.

8. Finalization and Publication

The accepted manuscript is scheduled for publication. A final proof is sent to the author for approval. After confirmation, the article will be published electronically.
All published articles are freely available in PDF and XML formats on the journal’s website.

Note:

All correspondence and follow-up are conducted exclusively with the corresponding author. Co-authors are not permitted to directly engage in the submission or review process.

Ethical Considerations for Reviewers

• Reviews must be based solely on the quality of the manuscript, free from bias.
• All manuscript content and review details are confidential and must not be shared.
• Reviewers must disclose any conflicts of interest and recuse themselves if necessary.
• Feedback should be professional, respectful, and constructive.
• Using manuscript content before official publication constitutes an ethical violation.
