Article Selection and Peer-review process

The editorial board and the international review panel of the AJIE will follow a rigorous Double-blind peer review process for selecting articles for publication in the journal. First, the editorial board does the initial screening of the manuscript. Then it is sent to two anonymous reviewers by following a double blind peer-review process. After receiving the reviewers’ comments the manuscripts are sent back to the author(s) for further resubmission after revision. Then the editorial board does another round of revision of the whole manuscript before final selection. Authors are requested to follow the guidelines available in this web page of AJIE before submission. Manuscripts should directly be submitted to the Editor, M. Tariq Ahsan, at editor@ajiebd.net
