Manuscripts are submitted to Clean Energy Technologies Journal with the understanding that the authors have complied with all ethical policies of the journal

Submitted manuscripts are first considered by the Editor-in-Chief and it is decided whether to review. The review process will only begin when all three of the following conditions are met:

• The manuscript fits within the scope of the journal
• The manuscript is likely to make an significant contribution to the field
• The manuscript is written in a clear and legible manner
• In case the manuscript does not meet these conditions, the Editor-in-Chief notifies the Author with an explanation that the manuscript has been rejected

If a manuscript meets the above conditions, the Editor-in-Chief invites an appropriate Editor from the Editorial Board to carry out the review process, including the selection of Reviewers. Editors and Reviewers involved in the review process will disclose any conflicts of interest arising from direct competition, collaboration or other relationships with any of the Authors and will remove themselves from situations where such conflicts preclude objective evaluation.

At least two international Reviewers, who are experts in their field in order to ensure an unbiased evaluation process, will be selected for each manuscript. If necessary, the article may be sent to a third reviewer for further assessment. The peer review process is confidential and identities of reviewers are not disclosed. The reviewers' recommendations determine whether a paper will be accepted / accepted subject to change / subject to resubmission with significant changes / rejected.

After the review process has been completed, the Editor studies the Reviewers’ comments and makes a recommendation that is further evaluated by the Editor-in-Chief. The Editor-in-Chief will notify the Author about the decision, enclosing a copy of the comments received by Reviewers. Reviewed articles are treated confidentially prior to their publication. The average time from submission to first decision is 4 weeks.

The reviewers' recommendations determine whether a paper will be accepted / subject to resubmission with major or minor revisions / rejected. For papers which require changes, the same reviewers will be used to ensure that the quality of the revised paper is acceptable. The Editor-in-Chief reserves the right to reject any manuscripts and to make suggestions and/or modifications prior to publication.

Language editing can be used to ensure that the academic content of your paper is fully understood by journal editors and reviewers, especially if English is not your native language.

All manuscripts submitted to CETJ will be uploaded to iThenticate to check the similarity rate of the paper. The CETJ immediately rejects any articles with a similarity rate greater than 20%.
