(BJES) accepts the following types of manuscript submissions:
1. Original Research Article
Original research publications must contain detailed and well-structured investigations. These manuscripts should include the following sections: an abstract, an introduction, a system description, a methodology or modeling approach, an experimental setup (including feature tables, installation procedures, and scenario outlines), procedural details (practical or simulated), graphical or tabular results, a discussion of findings, conclusions, and references. Authors can use a sample article for formatting guidelines.
2. Review Article
Review articles provide a comprehensive assessment of the current literature relevant to the journal’s topic areas. They are required to synthesize essential concepts, describe noteworthy breakthroughs, and cite all relevant earlier work. These articles may also feature comparative analyses and discussions of study findings. Although review articles do not often include new research, their value stems from their clarity, depth, and usability as a fundamental resource for researchers and practitioners in the subject.
Ethical Principles
BJES follows the ethical guidelines set by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). All submitted articles must adhere to these guidelines, ensuring that the study is done and published accurately. Authors must affirm that their work is free of unethical behaviors such as plagiarism, data falsification, incorrect authorship allocation, duplicate submission, undeclared conflicts of interest, and unethical research conduct.
Reviewers are likewise subject to ethical duties. They must keep submitted manuscripts secret and disclose any potential conflicts of interest that might affect their decision.
BJES maintains the right to investigate alleged misbehavior, including contacting connected institutions, funding agencies, and appropriate authorities. To discover potential ethical violations, submitted articles are examined for similarities using the Editorial platform.
Authors are responsible for responding to editorial inquiries and must be available even after publication to react to criticisms or give clarifications. Furthermore, writers are urged to place supporting research resources (e.g., datasets, software, protocols) in publicly available repositories and must provide a data availability statement with links to the repositories.
Peer Review and Manuscript Acceptance
The editorial team conducts an initial assessment of manuscripts to ensure that they are within the scope of the journal, adhere to ethical standards, and follow submission rules.

Articles in the Early View category are published on the journal’s website and are fully citable with the allocated DOI. This guarantees that writers and readers have prompt access to and dissemination of research findings.
For more information about DOIs, please visit the official DOI FAQ: http://www.doi.org/faq.html
