It is designed to ensure that all submitted and published manuscripts adhere to the highest standards of: - Scientific quality and originality - Engineering relevance and technical rigor - Ethical integrity and responsible research practices - International academic standards and publication norms The checklist serves as a mandatory review evaluation tool, applied consistently to all submissions prior/during the editorial consideration and peer review. Authors are expected to carefully review and fully comply with all checklist requirements before/during submission. Its implementation supports: - Fair and transparent editorial decision-making - Consistency in publication quality across all issues - Alignment with international indexing and academic evaluation criteria - Efficient use of peer review resources Compliance with the Journal Checklist is therefore a essential for manuscript processing and review processing, which the editorial team and the authors bear full responsibility for ensuring that the submissions meet all required standards in terms of content, structure, formatting, and academic quality.
