El-Cezeri Science and Engineering Journal (ECJSE) is a research Journal covering Science and Engineering, which started its publication in 2014. To establish scientific communication between scientists working in the fields of Science and Engineering. The journal accepts both original research articles and review articles in science, engineering, and architecture in English only via the Journal website (https://dergipark.org.tr/en/pub/ecjse).

The journal is free and does not charge any publication fee from the authors. The articles published in the journal are open-access.
El-Cezeri Science and Engineering Journal publishes scientific original articles under the following headings.

Research Articles: Studies that reflect original research with findings and results.
Review Articles: These are articles scanning a sufficient number of scientific articles, summarizing the subject at the level of today's knowledge and technology, and evaluating and comparing these findings.
Technical Note: This is a new method or technique describing important findings of a given research.

Each article is sent to at least two reviewers and the evaluation phase is carried out in terms of form and content. The single-blind reviewing procedure is used in the reviewing process.
