  1. International Journal of Applied Science and Engineering is a professional and academic journal. Each manuscript will be reviewed by at least two specialties or scholars, and the suggested manuscript will be also re-reviewed by the editorial board.
     
  2. The editorial board of JGTS is a regular organization. Editorial board members are invited and assigned by editor-in-chief, and the associate editor-in-chief is selected from these members.
     
  3. Two reviewers are recommended by either associate editor-in-chief or members of editorial board for reviewing each manuscript.
     
  4. The reviewers must hold Ph.D. degree or equivalent to associate professor or above, and their field of research should be related with the under reviewed manuscript.
