ISSN: 0971-4588 (print) 0975-1017 (Online)
Peer Review Process
All submitted manuscripts are assessed for technical check before the editor is assigned. After technical check, an editor is assigned to the submitted manuscript. The manuscripts are evaluated at this step for originality, scientific correctness, language, and scientific relevance to the scientific community. Not all manuscripts are eligible for review process. A large percentage of manuscripts are rejected at this stage. The editor decides to review the manuscripts after aforementioned assessment of manuscript. The reviewers (at least two) are assigned for the review process after editorial assessment of the manuscripts which are potentially interested to the readership of journal. Editors have the option to take additional reviews if needed. On the recommendations of reviewers, editor decides whether to reject the manuscript or accept it with or without revisions (major or minor). IJEMS follows the single-blind/ double-blind peer review process. Potential reviewers are selected keeping in mind the several factors including expertise, reputation in the field, and with previous experiences of a reviewer's characteristics. The reviewers recommended by authors are only being considered if others cannot be found. Identities of reviewers are not revealed to the authors.

CSIR-NIScPR Policy on Plagiarism
The system of formal communication in science through publication in primary journals is based on originality and quality of information, being the only criteria for publication. However, there have been tendencies to misuse the system and vitiate the process of science communication for personal benefits. One of the ills, afflicting science communication, is plagiarism. Attempts at plagiarism may range from verbatim copying of extensive material of other authors, misappropriating results/data of others with minor changes in language/presentation without giving credit to original source, and to publishing essentially the same information more than once.
As the premier institution of publishing primary scientific journals in various disciplines of science and technology in India, CSIR-NIScPR strongly reiterates its policy of discouraging plagiarism of all kinds. All efforts are made to detect and frustrate attempts at plagiarism through editorial screening and rigorous peer review in respect of communications received for publication in the CSIR-NIScPR publications. Cooperation of the scientific community is sought in our efforts to frustrate all attempts at plagiarism.
In case, any attempt of plagiarism is brought to our attention accompanied with convincing evidence, following steps would be taken:
- After consulting the respective Editorial Board Members, authors guilty of plagiarism will be debarred from publishing their papers in CSIR-NIScPR journals.
- Heads of the Departments/Institutes of the offending authors will be intimated of such incidences of plagiarism.
- Such incidents of plagiarism will be publicized through the concerned CSIR-NIScPR journals in consultation with the respective Editorial Board Members.
