Aims & Scope

Journal of Engineering Research(JER) is a international, peer reviewed journal which publishes full length original research papers, reviews, case studies related to all areas of Engineering such as: Civil, Mechanical, Industrial, Electrical, Computer, Chemical, Petroleum, Aerospace, Architectural, Biomedical, Coastal, Environmental, Marine & Ocean, Metallurgical & Materials, software, Surveying, Systems and Manufacturing Engineering. In particular, JER focuses on innovative approaches and methods that contribute to solving the environmental and manufacturing problems, which exist primarily in the Arabian Gulf region and the Middle East countries. Kuwait University used to publish the Journal "Kuwait Journal of Science and Engineering" (ISSN: 1024-8684), which included Science and Engineering articles since 1974. In 2011 the decision was taken to split KJSE into two independent Journals - "Journal of Engineering Research"(JER) and "Kuwait Journal of Science" (KJS). The articles published in JER – are indexed, classified, linked, or summarized by: Directory of Open Access Journals – DOAJ, ULRICHΒ΄S Periodicals Directory, Springer's GSJ. JER is an Open Access journal and offers the following author rights and access policies: The Journal of Engineering research is dedicated to following best practices on ethical matters, errors and retractions. The prevention of publication malpractice is one of the important responsibilities of the editorial board. Any kind of unethical behavior is not acceptable, and JER does not tolerate plagiarism in any form. Authors submitting articles to JER affirm that manuscript contents are original. Furthermore, they warrant that their article has neither been published elsewhere nor is it under review for publication anywhere. Academic misconduct in any form will not be tolerated by β€œJournal of engineering research”. In cases of suspected misconduct (plagiarism, fraud, breached intellectual property rights, etc.) a panel will be formed to e
