At Sciences, Methods and Technologies international journal (SciMeTech), we are committed to maintaining the highest standards of editorial integrity and transparency. Our editorial policies are designed to ensure a rigorous, fair, and ethical peer-review process, fostering the dissemination of high-quality research to the global academic community.

Peer Review Process

SciMeTech employs a double-blind peer-review process to ensure impartiality and confidentiality. All submissions undergo the following steps:

1. Initial screening by the editorial team for relevance, originality, and adherence to submission guidelines.
2. Assignment to two or more independent reviewers with expertise in the relevant field.
3. Double-blind review where the identities of authors and reviewers are concealed.
4. Reviewers provide constructive feedback and recommendations (accept, minor revisions, major revisions, or reject).
5. Final decision by the Editor-in-Chief or Associate Editors based on reviewer feedback.

Authors receive detailed reviewer comments and a decision within a standard timeline (typically 4–6 weeks).

Ethical Standards

SciMeTech adheres to the principles of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). We expect all authors, reviewers, and editors to uphold the following ethical standards:

• Authorship: All listed authors must have made significant contributions to the work.
• Plagiarism: Submissions are screened for plagiarism, and plagiarized content will result in rejection.
• Conflict of Interest: Authors must disclose any potential conflicts of interest or funding sources.
• Data Integrity: Authors are responsible for ensuring the accuracy and authenticity of their data.

Editorial Responsibilities

The editorial board is responsible for:

• Ensuring a fair and unbiased peer-review process.
• Maintaining confidentiality of submitted manuscripts and reviewer identities.
• Making decisions based on academic merit, independent of commercial or personal considerations.

Corrections and Retractions

SciMeTech is committed to correcting errors and maintaining the integrity of the academic record. The journal will:

• Issue corrections for minor errors that do not affect the validity of the research.
• Retract articles in cases of significant errors, misconduct, or unethical practices.

All corrections and retractions will be clearly marked and linked to the original article.
