About the Journal

Aim

The BRICS Journal of Applied Mathematics and Engineering Sciences (BJAMES) aims to publish high-quality, peer-reviewed research that advances the application of mathematical, computational, and engineering methods to scientific and real-world problems. The journal promotes interdisciplinary research integrating mathematical modelling, computational techniques, artificial intelligence, and engineering innovation.

Scope

The journal welcomes original research, reviews, and methodological contributions in areas including:

  • Applied and computational mathematics
  • Mathematical modelling, differential equations, and numerical methods
  • Optimization, statistics, probability, and operations research
  • Scientific computing, simulation, and computational techniques
  • Artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data science
  • Computational intelligence and intelligent systems
  • Engineering mathematics and computational engineering
  • Mechanical, civil, structural, electrical, and industrial engineering
  • Control systems, robotics, automation, and signal processing
  • Energy systems, renewable energy, and sustainable engineering
  • Materials science and computational materials engineering
  • Complex systems, systems engineering, and interdisciplinary applications

The journal particularly encourages interdisciplinary research that combines mathematical, computational, and engineering approaches to address emerging scientific and technological challenges.

Peer Review Process

The BRICS Journal of Applied Mathematics and Engineering Sciences (BJAMES) follows a rigorous Double-Blind Peer Review process to ensure the quality, originality, methodological soundness, and academic integrity of published research. The identities of authors and reviewers remain confidential throughout the review process.

Initial Editorial Assessment

All submitted manuscripts undergo an initial assessment by the Editorial Office to determine their alignment with the journal’s aims and scope, originality, scientific quality, formatting requirements, and compliance with ethical and editorial policies. Manuscripts that do not meet the required standards may be returned to the authors or rejected without external review.

Reviewer Selection

Manuscripts passing the initial assessment are generally evaluated by at least two independent reviewers with relevant expertise in applied mathematics, computational sciences, engineering, or related interdisciplinary fields. Reviewers are selected based on their expertise, research experience, and absence of conflicts of interest.

Review Criteria

Reviewers assess manuscripts based on:

  • Originality and significance of the research

  • Relevance to the journal’s aims and scope

  • Mathematical, computational, or engineering rigor

  • Validity of methodology, analysis, and results

  • Clarity and quality of presentation

  • Contribution to existing knowledge

  • Appropriate use of references and supporting evidence

  • Compliance with ethical and scholarly standards

Based on the reviewers’ recommendations, the Editorial Office may issue the following decisions:

  • Accept

  • Minor Revision

  • Major Revision

  • Reject

The final decision rests with the Editor-in-Chief, taking into consideration the reviewers’ evaluations and any revisions submitted by the authors.

Review Timeline

BJAMES aims to maintain an efficient and timely peer-review process. The typical timeline is:

Review Stage Estimated Timeline
Initial Editorial Assessment Within 1 week
Reviewer Invitation and Assignment 1–2 weeks
Peer Review 3–4 weeks
Editorial Decision Within 6–8 weeks

Timelines may vary depending on reviewer availability, manuscript complexity, and the extent of revisions required.

Confidentiality

All manuscripts are treated as confidential documents throughout the editorial and peer-review process. Editors and reviewers must not disclose manuscript content, share unpublished information, or use the submitted work for personal or professional benefit. Reviewers are also expected to maintain confidentiality after completing their evaluations.
