Objectivity and anonymity of this process are ensured through a double-blind review process, where the reviewers do not know the identity of the authors and vice versa.
(a)Target Article Type
Research Articles:
These should describe new, carefully confirmed findings, innovative & creative research ideas and experimental procedures should be given in sufficient detail for others to verify the work. The length of a full paper should be the minimum required to describe and interpret the work clearly. It also includes personalized review articles on the research work carried at the author(s)’ laboratory, based on the published work of the author(s).
Short Communications:
A short communication is suitable for recording the results of complete small investigations or giving details of new models or hypotheses, innovative methods, techniques, creative models etc. The style of main sections need not conform to that of full-length papers. Short communications are 2 to 4 printed pages (about 4 to 8 manuscript pages) in length.
Reviews Articles:
Submissions of reviews and perspectives covering topics of current interest are welcome and encouraged. Reviews should be concise and no longer than 2-4 printed pages (about 4 to 8 manuscript pages). Review manuscripts are also peer-reviewed. It also focuses on current advancements in the given field.

Case Report:
It includes case reports / studies in any sub-areas of the main field. A case report is generally considered a type of anecdotal evidence.
Historical Note:
It includes article giving additional information on earlier published research paper of the author
Narration / Opinion:
Views on scientific activity. Narration encompasses a set of techniques through which the authors / creators presents their vies / opinions
Book Reviews:
Books can be reviewed for research thesis, scientific books, printed periodicals, magazines and newspapers, as school work, or for book web sites on the internet. Reviewers may use the occasion of a book review for a display of learning or to promulgate their own ideas on the topic of a fiction or non-fiction work.
(b) Scope of this journal
National Journal of Research in Engineering , Technology & Management covers all topics of all engineering branches and management. Some of them are Computer Science & Engineering, Information Technology, Electronics & Communication, Electrical and Electronics, Electronics and Telecommunication, Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, all interdisciplinary streams of Engineering Sciences.
(c) Ethics & Policies
The publication of an article in a peer-reviewed journal is an essential building block in the development of a coherent and respected network of knowledge. It is a direct reflection of the quality of work of the author and the institutions that support them. Peer-reviewed articles support and embody the scientific method.
