About us

International Journal of Research in Engineering (P-ISSN: 2664-8776, E-ISSN: 2664-8784) is a peer-reviewed, open access engineering journal published by Sparkling Press. The journal has been publishing original engineering research since 2019 and is currently in its eighth volume.

The journal exists for a simple reason: researchers need a place to publish sound engineering work and have it read. Every article published here is freely available to anyone, anywhere, from the day it appears — no subscription, no paywall and no registration required.

Aims and Scope

The International Journal of Research in Engineering publishes original research papers, review articles, case studies and short communications across all engineering disciplines and applied sciences. We welcome submissions from academic researchers, postgraduate and doctoral students, and practising engineers.

Work is judged on the quality of the research itself — the clarity of the problem, the soundness of the method and whether the conclusions follow from the results. Papers presenting negative or inconclusive results are welcome where the method is sound, as these are equally part of the scientific record.

Subject Areas We Publish

The journal is multidisciplinary and publishes engineering research in areas including:

• Mechanical Engineering — materials, tribology, thermal systems, manufacturing and design
• Civil Engineering — structures, geotechnical engineering, foundations, construction materials and transportation
• Electrical and Electronics Engineering — power systems, high voltage applications, control systems and instrumentation
• Computer Science and Information Technology — artificial intelligence, machine learning, computer vision, IoT, software systems and data science
• Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry — process engineering, green chemistry, catalysis and computational chemistry
• Materials Science and Nanotechnology — polymers, composites, nanomaterials and surface engineering
• Environmental Engineering — wastewater treatment, sustainability, pollution control and green technologies
• Energy Engineering — renewable energy, energy storage, batteries and energy systems
• Industrial and Production Engineering — operations research, quality control, optimisation and supply chain
• Biomedical and Agricultural Engineering — instrumentation, smart agriculture systems and applied biotechnology

Interdisciplinary work that sits between two of these areas is welcome, and reviewers are chosen accordingly.

Peer Review Process

The journal follows a double-blind peer review process. Every submission is first screened by an editor for scope and basic quality. Papers that pass this screening are sent to two independent reviewers who do not know the identity of the authors, and whose identities are not disclosed to the authors.

Reviewers assess originality, methodology, clarity and whether the conclusions are supported by the data. Their comments are passed to the author anonymously, and the editor makes the final decision. Most accepted papers go through at least one round of revision.

Open Access Policy

All articles published in this engineering journal are open access. They are freely and permanently available online from the moment of publication, without subscription charges or registration barriers. Readers may read, download, print and cite articles without asking permission.

Open access means published research reaches researchers at smaller institutions, practising engineers and students who would otherwise not have access — which in turn means more readers and more citations for authors.
