Review

International Journal of Engineering & Applied Sciences (IJEAS) is a research journal in English published by the Akdeniz University. The objective of this journal is to communicate recent and projected advances in engineering and applied sciences. Purely theoretical and purely experimental papers with no application are discouraged.

The journal presents its readers with broad coverage across some branches of engineering and science of the latest development and application of new solution algorithms, soft computing and artificial intelligent methods, innovative numerical methods and/or solution techniques directed at the utilization of computational methods in solid  and nano-scaled mechanics.

International Journal of Engineering & Applied Sciences (IJEAS) is a refereed international journal whose focus is on application of the numerical and artificial intelligent methods in solid  and nano mechanics. This Journal is published four times per year.

Submissions are accepted for double blind peer review. All manuscripts will undergo the refereeing process; acceptance for publication is based on two positive reviews.

All submissions will be scanned by iThenticate® to prevent plagiarism. 

The journal publishes research papers, communications, technical notes and review papers. Authors are welcome, at any time, to address questions to the Editor in Chief, IJEAS.

The Journal does not charge any article submission or processing charges.

IJEAS allows readers  to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of articles.
