Peer Review Policy

The Transactions on Intelligent Computing and Emerging Technologies (TICET) follows a rigorous peer-review process to ensure the quality, originality, and integrity of all published research. TICET adheres to internationally recognized standards to maintain scientific credibility and transparency in manuscript evaluation.

1. Review Model

TICET uses a double-blind peer review system:

  • Reviewers do not know the identities of the authors
  • Authors do not know the identities of the reviewers

This process ensures objectivity, fairness, and impartiality in manuscript evaluation.

The Editorial Office screens submissions for completeness, adherence to guidelines, originality, and suitability for the journal’s scope.

Assignment to Editors

Manuscripts passing the initial check are assigned to an Associate or Section Editor who manages the review process.
