The candidate article submitted to the KMU Journal of Engineering and Natural Sciences is first formally examined by the Editor and/or Assistant Editors regarding publication policy and rules. The unsuitable candidate is sent back to the author(s) for the necessary corrections before proceeding to the article evaluation stage.

The candidate article deemed suitable for evaluation is sent to at least two (2) referees from the relevant field.
