All submitted manuscripts are read by the editorial staff. Those manuscripts evaluated by the editors to be inappropriate to the journal’s criteria are rejected promptly without any external review. Manuscripts evaluated to be of potential interest to our readership are sent to the reviewers. The editors then make a decision based on the reviewer’s recommendation, from among several possibilities: outright rejected, rejected, requires major revision, needs minor revision or accepted.

The editor-in-chief of the Frontiers in Renewable Energy Journal has the right to decide which manuscripts submitted to the journal should be published.

Review Process:

1. Author submits the manuscript

2. Editor’s evaluation [some manuscripts are rejected or returned before the review process]

3. Peer review process

4. Editor’s decision

5. Confirmation to the authors
