Review Procedure

The review process comprises of two rounds. The submission will first be internally reviewed by the Editorial Board. Once approved in the internal review, the manuscript is then subjected to a double-blind peer review by an external reviewer. Once approved in the external review, the submission is accepted for publication. Then, the manuscript is subject to a final stage of line editing. Authors should be prepared to make suitable changes to their manuscripts as required by the Editorial Board before publication. IJIEL strives to ensure a speedy and efficient review process. The review process ordinarily takes 2 months.
