Himalayan Journal of Science and Technology (HiJOST) is the official annual publication of the Central Campus of Technology (CCT). The objective of this journal is to provide a global platform for scientists and academicians to further share and discuss various new issues and developments in different areas of science and technology. The journal publishes Review Papers, Research Papers, Short Communications, Research Notes, and Letters to the Editor.
The process of fair review provides authors who feel their paper has been unfairly rejected (at any journal) the opportunity to share reviewer comments, explain their concerns, and have their paper reviewed for possible publication in HiJOST.
Submission of the manuscript by authors: The corresponding author will submit the manuscript via email to the official email hijostcct@cctdharan.edu.np or directly through the web page of the Himalayan Journal of Science and Technology (HiJOST) and receipt of the same will be acknowledged by the managing editor.
Primary screening: The members of the editorial board will check the paper's style, required sections, composition, and arrangement against HiJOST Author guidelines. Papers failing to meet the author guidelines are returned by email for resubmission or the editorial board may directly reject without being reviewed if any scientific flaws are noticed in the manuscript.
Review by Reviewers: The managing editor sends the manuscript for a blind review process to two appropriate reviewers who are experts in the relevant area. The responses from the reviewer regarding the paper will be received with the following suggestions:
Both reviewers have full authority for accepting and rejecting the manuscript and the manuscript will not be receded for publication if any one of the reviewers recommends for rejection of the manuscript. But the final decision will be forwarded after evaluation of comments received from reviewers.
Editorial Board Evaluates the Reviews: The managing editor communicates all the homecoming comments to the editorial board before making an overall decision. If the reviewer's opinion differs widely, the chief editor or editors may request an additional reviewer (Third Reviewer) for an extra opinion before making a final decision.
The Decision is Communicated: The managing editor sends a decision via email to the corresponding author including any relevant reviewer comments with acknowledgment.
