The Journal of Engineering and Sciences (JES), the official journal of the Research Management Cell (RMC), Pashchimanchal Campus, Pokhara, is devoted exclusively to science and technology advancements, especially the innovative aspects of the multifaceted disciplines of engineering and sciences.
JES welcomes manuscripts presenting information not previously published in journals on any aspect of interdisciplinary (science and engineering) research, development, application, measurement, or policy. The submitted manuscripts may be reports of original studies or reviews of significant prior work in a given area. All manuscripts are subject to reviews to assure accuracy, clarity, and long-term value.
The scope of the journal lies in but is not limited to the contents and capacity of Science, Technology, and Engineering. It publishes research articles with novel synthesis, findings, and scientific advances; review articles with an overview of recent thinking and achievements in a given theme; and communications with clear messages aimed at conflict resolution in a given topic. The journal embraces statistically analyzed data-based scientific outcomes, recent trends in engineering technology, and cutting-edge principles of current science and technology advancements. The journal welcomes articles with notable contributions to acquiring knowledge and its measurable exposition.
JES publishes two issues per year: the first on May 30 and the second on November 30.

Copyright on any research article in the Journal of Engineering and Sciences (JES) is retained by the author(s). The authors grant JES a license to publish the article and identify itself as the original publisher. The material is free at https://jes.ioepas.edu.np and the Journal of Engineering and Sciences (nepjol.info). The article may also be cited and used again once the original published version is acknowledged. These guidelines ensure that the authors are given due credit while allowing for the greatest possible use and visibility of the work.
The corresponding author is responsible for any conflict of interest between authors and others. The journal is not responsible for concepts, ideas, and views reflected in its articles. If an ethical issue is detected, the article will be retracted.
The journal does not charge authors for article processing charges, submission fees, or any other fees.
All submitted manuscripts in the Journal of Engineering and Sciences (JES) undergo a thorough peer-review process. JES follows a single-blind review process. Initially, the chief editor screens the submissions to ensure they align with the journal's scope and are plagiarism-free. The manuscripts then undergo review by section editors to ensure their appropriateness. This screening process typically takes 7 to 10 days. Subsequently, only the suitable articles are forwarded to the reviewer(s), who may be local or international experts, for content evaluation. Generally, the decision to accept or reject a manuscript is based on the reviewers' reports.
The review process typically takes 2-5 weeks. After receiving reviewer feedback, authors have up to 10 days to make revisions. We aim to complete the acceptance and publication process for articles submitted to JES in 8 weeks. Still, this timeline depends on how quickly reviewers respond and how long authors take to revise.
The guidelines for reviewing articles are provided to the reviewers, which helps them be more specific in their review reports. If an invited reviewer feels they cannot evaluate the work presented in an article or anticipates difficulty providing a timely review. In that case, they should notify the editors as soon as possible and decline the offer to review so that other reviewers can be invited. Reviewers who agree to review the article must submit their report within 15 days. Gentle reminders are sent to reviewers if the report is not received within the deadline.
