TECNICA ITALIANA-Italian Journal of Engineering Science (IJES) is a semiannual international journal aimed at circulating the latest industrial applications of heat transfer and fluid dynamics. The journal also attaches special importance to environmental problems and mechanical engineering. Highlighting the significance of heat transfer application, we encourage the investigation into different physical processes in real conditions and their mutual influences. Original papers reporting the designs, development and applications in relevant subjects are welcomed, especially those emphasizing on new technological fields. The papers should further our understanding of the said subjects, and make a significant original contribution to knowledge. The journal is published quarterly by the IIETA.
The IJES is an open access journal. All contents are available for free, that is, users are entitled to read, download, duplicate, distribute, print, search or link to the full texts of the articles in this journal without prior consent from the publisher or the author.
Focus and Scope
The IJES welcomes original research papers, technical notes and review articles on the following disciplines:
- Heat transfer
- Fluid dynamics
- Industrial and technological processes
- Environmental problems
- Mechanical engineering
Publication Frequency
The IJES is published quarterly by the IIETA as of 2018, with four regular issues (excluding special issues) and one volume per year.
Peer Review Statement
The IIETA adopts a double blind review process. Once submitted, a paper dealing with suitable topics will be sent to the editor-in-chief or managing editor, and then be reviewed by at least two experts in the relevant field. The reviewers are either members of our editorial board or special external experts invited by the journal. In light of the reviewers’ comments, the editor-in-chief or managing editor will make the final decision over the publication, and return the decision to the author.
There are four possible decisions concerning the paper: acceptance, minor revision, major revision and rejection. Acceptances means the paper will be published directly without any revision. Minor revision means the author should make minor changes to the manuscript according to reviewers’ comments and submit the revised version to the IIETA. The revised version will be accepted or rejected at the discretion of the editor-in-chief or managing editor. Major revision means the author should modify the manuscript significantly according to reviewers’ comments and submit the revised version to the IIETA. The revised version will be accepted or rejected at the discretion of the editor-in-chief or managing editor. Rejection means the submitted paper will not be published.
If a paper is accepted, the editor-in-chief or managing editor will send an acceptance letter to the author, and ask the author to prepare the paper in MS Word using the template of IIETA.
Plagiarism Policy
Plagiarism is committed when one author uses another work without permission, credit, or acknowledgment. Plagiarism takes different forms, from literal copying to paraphrasing the work of another. The IIETA uses CrossRef to screen for unoriginal material. Authors submitting to an IIETA journal should be aware that their paper may be submitted to CrossRef at any point during the peer-review or production process. Any allegations of plagiarism made to a journal will be investigated by the editor-in-chief or managing editor. If the allegations appear to be founded, we will request all named authors of the paper to give an explanation of the overlapping material. If the explanation is not satisfactory, we will reject the submission, and may also reject future submissions.
