Peer Review Process

All manuscripts submitted to Renewable Energy, Biomass & Sustainability (REB&S) are first evaluated by the editorial team to determine whether they fit the aims, scope, and quality standards of the journal. Manuscripts may be rejected at this stage if they are considered unsuitable for further consideration.

If a manuscript is considered suitable, it will normally be sent to at least two independent reviewers with expertise in the subject area for a thorough assessment of its scientific quality, originality, clarity, and relevance. REB&S follows a single-blind peer review process, in which reviewers know the identities of the authors, while authors do not know the identities of the reviewers.

Based on the reviewers’ comments and recommendations, the editors will make the final decision regarding acceptance, revision, or rejection of the manuscript. Manuscripts may receive one of the following decisions: Accepted, Minor Revision, Major Revision, or Rejected.

To ensure timely processing and publication, authors are given up to 2 months to submit a revised version of their manuscript. Revised manuscripts returned after this period will be treated as new submissions.
