The journal of "System Engineering and Productivity" with the code of 11933 is one of the specialized journals in the field of management and industrial engineering, which is published quarterly by the University of Eyvanekey under the license of the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology. Currently, according to the regulations of scientific publications approved on 2019/04/21, the scientific rank of the journal has been determined in the evaluation of the year 2024 "A" and has been indexed in the DOAJ and Islamic World Science Citation Center (ISC). The most important goal of the journal of "System Engineering and Productivity" is to improve the level of knowledge of researchers and also to create a scientific position for the exchange of scientific and specialized information between researchers. This journal aims to publish up-to-date scientific research in all areas of management and industrial engineering with a focus on system engineering, system and energy management, data mining and data management, system thinking and strategic thinking, knowledge management, risk management, network reliability and social networks, intelligent and multi-agent systems, modeling quality management, information system engineering, decision-making system, productivity and performance improvement, sustainable industrial engineering and circular economy, industrial internet of things (IIoT) and smart factories, cobotics and human–machine collaboration and entrepreneurship management; therefore, the editor and members of the editorial board of the journal invite all researchers at various academic and industrial levels to submit their creative and innovative ideas as well as new research results in the aforementioned scientific fields to this journal for publication.
This journal exclusively publishes original research that has not been previously published nor is currently under consideration by any other journal. Submissions must present novel scientific findings; therefore, manuscripts based on limited or insufficient data will not be accepted. The peer-review process involves a rigorous two-stage evaluation: an initial screening by the Editorial Board, followed by a thorough peer review conducted by qualified subject-matter experts. Manuscripts must strictly adhere to the journal’s Author Guidelines; otherwise, they will be excluded from the review process. The journal reserves the right to accept, reject, or request modifications to any manuscript, ensuring full compliance with publication ethics.
It is worth noting that articles submitted for evaluation and publication must have the following characteristics:
