INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS
Review Policy
Submitted manuscripts will be part of a blind-review
process. Manuscripts will initially be screened
by the editor-in-chief. At this pace, the
decision whether a submitted manuscript is
suitable for the INT-JECSE and is written based
on author guiidelines or not will be done. If
the decision is positive, the submitted
manuscript will be sent to one of the editors
listed at the editorial board. The manuscript
will be sent to at least two reviewers by the
assigned-editor. The decisions gathered from the
reviewers will be sent to editor-in-chief by the
assigned-editor. Editor-in-chief will then
inform the author about the desicion. This
process takes approximately 2-3 months.

A cover
letter should be included with the
manuscript. The cover letter should include
