What Makes an Engineering Journal Easy to Publish In?

An easy-to-publish engineering journal is not a low-quality journal — it is one with clear guidelines, responsive editorial support, a fair and transparent review process, and helpful feedback that makes revision achievable. Keith Publications engineering journals are designed to support authors from all backgrounds and career stages. Whether you are a first-time author, an early-career researcher, or an experienced engineer from a non-English-speaking country, our editorial team guides you through the process with clear communication, structured feedback, and a commitment to making publication accessible.

Tips for First-Time Engineering Journal Authors

If you are submitting your first engineering research paper, start by reading the journal's aims and scope carefully to ensure your topic fits. Download and follow the author guidelines template — formatting compliance is one of the most common reasons for desk rejection. Write a strong abstract (150–250 words) that clearly states your research problem, methodology, key results, and conclusion. Ensure your methodology section is reproducible and your figures and tables are clearly labelled. Submit a complete, proofread manuscript. At Keith Publications, our editors are committed to providing constructive, actionable feedback that helps you improve and publish successfully.

Tips to Maximise Your Acceptance Chances

  1. Align your topic with the journal's scope — read the aims and scope carefully before submitting.
  2. Write a compelling abstract — it's the first thing editors and reviewers read. Make it clear, concise, and keyword-rich.
  3. Ensure strong methodology — clearly describe your research design, experimental setup, or computational approach.
  4. Use current and relevant citations — include recent publications (within the last 5 years) alongside seminal engineering works.
  5. Follow formatting guidelines exactly — non-compliant manuscripts are often desk-rejected without review.
  6. Present results clearly — use tables, figures, and graphs to communicate quantitative findings effectively.
  7. State practical implications — explain how your engineering or technology findings can be applied in practice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which engineering journals accept the most diverse manuscript formats?
Keith Publications engineering journals — ASETJ, CJET, and JMTI — accept original research articles, systematic literature reviews, case studies, technical notes, and short communications, providing flexibility for engineering researchers with diverse research outputs.
Do engineering journals accept papers in various referencing styles?
Keith Publications engineering journals have a preferred referencing style (check author guidelines), but editorial teams can guide authors to make necessary reference format corrections during the revision process without desk rejection for style alone.
Can engineering research with qualitative methodologies be submitted?
Yes. While much engineering research is quantitative, qualitative and mixed-methods studies — particularly in engineering management, human factors engineering, and technology policy — are within scope for submission to ASETJ and CJET.
Is initial submission without strict formatting acceptable at Keith Publications?
Keith Publications recommends following author guidelines from the outset to minimise revision delays. However, for initial review, manuscripts that are well-structured and complete may be reviewed even if minor formatting issues are present, to be corrected after acceptance.
