IJTEF operates a rigorous double-blind peer-review process. This is a assessment with at least two independent reviewers, followed by a final acceptance/rejection decision by the Action Editor. A summary of the editorial process is given in the flowchart below. The following provides notes on each step.

Immediately after submission, this check is initially carried out by the executive editor to assess:
Suitability of the manuscript to the journal/special issue;
• Qualification and background of authors;
• Ithenticate plagiarism check: We will generate a report showing text duplication and potential plagiarism, along with advice on where to modify text and add further citations.
Once this is done, the manuscript is sent to an action Editor based on the subject of the manuscript and the availability of the Editors. All manuscripts shall be handled by an action Editor who does not have any potential conflict of interest with any of the manuscript’s authors.
If the action editor finds that the manuscript is not of sufficient quality to go through the normal peer review process, or that the subject of the manuscript is not within the journal’s scope, the manuscript shall be rejected with no further processing.
At least two review reports are collected for each submitted article. Suggestions of reviewers can be made by action editor during pre-check.
The following checks are applied to all reviewers:
• Reject: Manuscript is flawed or not sufficiently novel
When all reviewers have submitted their reports, the Action Editor can make one of the following editorial recommendations:
In cases revisions are recommended, the authors are notified to prepare and submit a revised version of their manuscript with the required changes suggested by the reviewers. The former reviewers will review the revised manuscript and provide suggestion as to whether the authors had addressed all their concerns. The Action Editor will check the revised version, author response, and second round comments, and then make final decision. Once the Action Editor is satisfied with the final manuscript, the manuscript can be accepted.
Once a paper is accepted for publication, it will be sent to authors for final proofreading, and then be arranged for publication.
