Peer Review Process

Perception, Navigation and Intelligent Devices follows a peer review process designed to evaluate the originality, technical quality, methodological soundness, system contribution, experimental clarity, relevance, and ethical compliance of submitted manuscripts.

Initial Editorial Check

After submission, the editorial office checks whether the manuscript fits the journal scope and meets basic submission requirements. Manuscripts may be returned to authors for correction before review if required information is missing.

Scope and Quality Assessment

The editor assesses the manuscript for relevance to perception systems, navigation technologies, intelligent devices, robotics, autonomous systems, sensor fusion, computer vision, embedded intelligence, smart sensing, wearable systems, and unmanned systems. Manuscripts outside the scope may be rejected without external review.

Reviewer Assignment

Suitable manuscripts are sent to independent reviewers with relevant expertise. Reviewers are asked to evaluate methodology, originality, technical correctness, device or system architecture, algorithm quality, experimental setup, validation, results, presentation, references, and contribution to the field.

Editorial Decision

Based on reviewer comments and editorial evaluation, the manuscript may be accepted, sent for minor revision, sent for major revision, rejected, or subjected to further review.

Revisions

Authors should respond to reviewer and editor comments clearly. Revised manuscripts should include appropriate changes and a response explaining how each comment has been addressed.
