OIPEEC Refereeing Committee
All papers will be peer reviewed by at least two independent referees who make recommendations on the suitability of the article for publication.
The referees will recommend whether the paper is suitable or unsuitable for publication as it stands. Alternatively, they may request that the authors revise their paper or to clarify certain points before it can be accepted as suitable for publication.
The refereeing process is ‘single-blind’ that is, the referees remain anonymous and their identities are not released to the authors. The referees, however, will be informed of the author’s name(s) and affiliation(s).
The OIPEEC Refereeing Committee consists of a chairman and up to eight members. In order to ensure as broad a cross section of disciplines as possible, these members are both OIPEEC and non-OIPEEC members, with both industrial and academic backgrounds.
