About International Journal of Engineering Technology and Management Sciences

International Journal of Engineering Technology and Management Sciences (IJETMS) — A Candid Profile of an Indian Bimonthly Multidisciplinary Journal

The International Journal of Engineering Technology and Management Sciences, widely shortened to IJETMS, is an Indian online journal that presents itself on its own website, ijetms.in, as a scholarly, open-access, peer-reviewed (refereed) international journal published bimonthly — that is, in six issues a year. Its sole ISSN in the Journals World record is 2581-4621, an online ISSN; no separate print ISSN is stated in the record or on the journal's published article PDFs examined for this profile, each of which carries the single line "ISSN: 2581-4621". Articles carry DOIs under the prefix 10.46647/ijetms, in the form 10.46647/ijetms.YYYY.vNNiNN.NNN, as can be seen across its 2025 and 2026 issues — for example Volume 9, Special Issue 1 (March–April 2025) and Volume 10, Issues 1 to 3 (January to June 2026). Volume numbering reaching Volume 10 in 2026 places the journal's first volume in the late 2010s by simple volume arithmetic; the journal itself, in the material checked for this profile, does not prominently state a founding year, so no founding year is asserted here as a verified fact.

This profile is deliberately candid, because IJETMS belongs to a large and much-discussed category: the broad-scope, rapid-publication, online-only multidisciplinary journals based in India that serve a genuine and enormous demand — from postgraduate students and early-career lecturers who must publish for degree, appointment, and promotion requirements — while attracting persistent questions about selectivity, review rigour, and the meaning of the metrics they display. A useful profile neither repeats the journal's marketing as fact nor dismisses the journal without evidence. It states what the journal verifiably is, distinguishes the journal's own claims from independently verified credentials, and tells an author exactly what to check before submitting. That is the approach taken in every section below.

Quick Facts

The distinction in the last two rows is the single most important thing in this profile. In Indian academia, "UGC CARE" status and a Journal Impact Factor have specific, checkable meanings tied to specific official lists. A journal stating that it follows UGC CARE norms is making a statement about its practices; that is not the same as being found, by title and ISSN, on the current UGC CARE list. Likewise, an impact-factor value printed on an article PDF without a named issuing source is not the Journal Impact Factor from Clarivate's Journal Citation Reports. Authors whose appointment or promotion depends on those credentials must verify them in the official lists directly — a five-minute check that protects a career file.

Scope: Engineering, Technology, and Management Under One Broad Roof

IJETMS is multidisciplinary by design. Its title names three territories — engineering, technology, and management sciences — and its call for papers invites scholars, engineers, academicians, scientists, industrial professionals, and researchers from all over the world to submit unpublished original work, promising review on originality, technical quality, and relevance. The published archive shows what that breadth means in practice, and the Journals World subject summary for the journal — Arduino and Internet of Things applications, artificial intelligence in healthcare, advanced neural network applications, smart agriculture, data mining and machine learning, blockchain applications and security, and network security — is a fair reflection of where its recent content concentrates.

Computing, artificial intelligence, and data

The heaviest visible concentration is in applied computing. Recent issues include a hybrid convolutional and recurrent neural network framework for automated toxic-comment detection, trained on a large public labelled dataset; a federated-learning security study on targeted poisoning attacks, in Volume 10, Issue 3 (2026); a comprehensive cybersecurity study comparing governance frameworks including NIST, ISO/IEC 27001, CIS Controls, Zero Trust, and MITRE ATT&CK concepts, in Volume 10, Issue 2 (2026); and a deep-learning model combining ResNet-50 with a capsule network for skin-lesion diagnosis from dermoscopic images, opening Volume 10, Issue 1 (2026). Artificial intelligence in healthcare, intrusion detection, and Internet of Things applications recur throughout, matching the stored subject list closely.

Core engineering

Alongside the computing stream, the journal publishes conventional engineering work: a representative 2026 article analyses a multi-cavity high-pressure die-casting tool for an automotive valve-body housing, combining design rules, mathematical verification, and finite-element casting simulation with field-trial confirmation. Mechanical, civil, electrical, and electronics topics sit within the stated engineering scope, and the stored summary's emphasis on embedded systems and Arduino-based applications reflects the large Indian undergraduate and postgraduate project community that forms part of the journal's natural authorship.

Management sciences and interdisciplinary work

The management-sciences element of the title covers management, commerce-adjacent, and organisational topics, and work that pairs a technical system with its managerial or social context. In practice, interdisciplinary breadth this wide has a consequence authors should understand: the journal does not enforce the narrow community standards of a specialist society journal, because its readership is not a single specialist community. A paper is judged for general technical soundness and relevance rather than for advancing a focused disciplinary conversation, which suits project reports, applied implementations, and survey-style work better than deep theoretical contributions aimed at specialists.

Publication Pattern and Article Character

The bimonthly rhythm, supplemented by special issues, produces a large archive quickly, and the issues examined are densely filled — article numbering in single issues runs to several dozen papers (an Issue 3 article numbered 048 and an Issue 2 article numbered 055 are visible in the 2026 volumes). Articles are published as PDFs carrying the journal masthead, ISSN, volume and issue, DOI, and the displayed impact-factor value. English is the language of publication. The typical article is a short-to-medium applied paper: a defined problem, a proposed system or method, an implementation or simulation, and results stated against a dataset or a design calculation. That character — visible in the toxic-comment, lesion-diagnosis, and die-casting examples above — is consistent across the archive sampled and is the clearest guide to fit: if a manuscript matches that pattern, it matches the journal; if it is a long theoretical monograph or a humanities essay, it does not.

Speed and service are part of the journal's self-presentation: its homepage advertises round-the-clock instant service, an established editorial and reviewer team in general terms, and international indexing and citation in general terms, without — in the homepage material checked — naming a specific list of indexing databases. Authors should treat general indexing language of that kind as a prompt to verify, not as verification. Concretely: search the current Scopus source list, the Web of Science Master Journal List, the DOAJ, and the UGC CARE list for the exact ISSN 2581-4621, and record the result with a date, before the manuscript is submitted — because it is the list entry, not the journal's description of itself, that a university committee will accept.

Charges, Rights, and the Checks That Matter

The journal's website maintains a dedicated Processing Charges page within its navigation, alongside instructions, important dates, registration and copyright forms, and a thesis-publication service. The specific current charge amounts could not be reliably extracted from that page in the checks performed for this profile — the page did not render its figures in the fetched copy — so no amount is stated here, and any figure quoted by a third-party site should be treated as unverified. The practical guidance is straightforward: read the charges page and the instructions in the live site immediately before submitting, confirm the total payable and what it covers, confirm the copyright and licensing terms in the journal's own copyright form before signing it, and keep the journal's emails and receipts. The existence of a thesis-publication service, advertised in the same navigation, tells authors the journal also serves the student-project segment explicitly; a research scholar should consider whether that positioning fits the venue expectations of their institution.

A short pre-submission checklist for this journal

First, verify the ISSN in the official lists that matter for the author's purpose, as described above. Second, read two or three recent articles in the author's own subfield in full, and judge their quality directly — the archive is the most honest evidence of the company a manuscript will keep. Third, confirm charges, timeline, and copyright terms from the live site in writing. Fourth, confirm that the author's institution recognises this journal for the specific purpose intended — degree submission, appointment, promotion, or API-type scoring — because recognition rules differ by institution and change over time. Fifth, ensure the manuscript itself is original, unpublished, and honestly reported; broad-scope journals are not a safe home for duplicated, purchased, or paper-mill material, and Indian regulators and universities actively delist and penalise such practices when detected.

Metrics in the Stored Record — Read with Care

The Journals World record carries an h-index of 10, about 1,489 works tracked, and about 1,295 citations in OpenAlex-style counting. For a young, broad, applied journal those figures describe a modest but real citation footprint, concentrated, as the subject summary suggests, in applied computing topics. They should be quoted, if at all, exactly as what they are — OpenAlex-derived counts — and never converted into an impact factor. The 5.672 figure displayed on the journal's own PDFs is, as noted, a journal-displayed value without a named issuing body in the material checked; it must not be cited in a CV or institutional file as a Journal Impact Factor, and evaluators encountering it in a file should ask for the Clarivate record, which was not verified for this journal in preparing this profile. No acceptance rate, review duration, or median time to publication is stated here, because the journal does not publish audited figures of that kind in the sources checked; any such figure from an agent or intermediary is not publicly disclosed by the journal and should be distrusted accordingly.

Who This Journal Suits — and Who Should Look Elsewhere

IJETMS can suit an author with a completed applied project — a working system, an implementation study, a simulation-backed design, a dataset experiment — who needs a legitimate, citable, DOI-bearing journal publication in an Indian multidisciplinary venue, whose institution accepts the journal after the verification steps above, and who values a bimonthly schedule. It is a poor fit for an author who needs a Scopus- or Web of Science-indexed venue for a specific regulatory purpose unless that indexing is independently verified at the time of submission; for a specialist seeking the focused readership and prestige of a society journal; or for anyone advised by an intermediary to pay for guaranteed acceptance, since no reputable journal guarantees outcomes and the journal's own stated standard is review on originality, technical merit, and relevance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the ISSN of IJETMS?

2581-4621. It appears in the Journals World record and on the journal's published articles. No separate print ISSN was verified; the journal is an online publication.

How often does it publish?

Bimonthly, per the journal's own description — six regular issues a year — with special issues appearing in addition, as in 2025.

Is IJETMS peer-reviewed and open access?

The journal describes itself as a peer-reviewed (refereed), open-access journal, and states that submissions are reviewed for originality, technical research, and relevance. Those are the journal's own descriptions of its process; authors should corroborate their experience of the process — reviewer comments received, revisions requested — as part of their own record.

Is IJETMS in the UGC CARE list or Scopus?

This profile does not assert either status, because neither was verified against the official lists in the checks performed. The journal states that it follows UGC CARE norms and guidelines. Authors must check the current UGC CARE list and Scopus source list by ISSN for themselves before relying on either credential.

Does it charge for publication?

The journal maintains a Processing Charges page, so authors should expect charges to apply and must confirm the current amounts on the live site before submitting. No verified amount is stated in this profile, because the figures could not be reliably read from the page in the checks performed.

What DOI will an article receive?

Articles in recent volumes carry DOIs under the prefix 10.46647, in the form 10.46647/ijetms.year.volume-issue.article — visible on published PDFs from 2025 and 2026.

Verification Notes

This profile is anchored in the Journals World REST record for post 362140 and in the journal's own website and published article PDFs at ijetms.in: the homepage statements on frequency, peer review, open access, UGC-norms wording, contact email and phone, and service claims; the 2025–2026 article PDFs evidencing the ISSN, DOI pattern, volume and issue structure, subject concentration, and the journal-displayed impact-factor value of 5.672. Direct duplicate checks found no other live Journals World post for this journal. Where the journal's claims could not be independently verified — UGC CARE listing, Scopus or Web of Science indexing, a Clarivate impact factor, a named publisher imprint, specific charge amounts, and any acceptance-rate or review-time figure — the profile says so explicitly rather than repeating the claim as fact. That restraint is deliberate and protective: for journals of this type, the distance between a marketing claim and a verifiable credential is exactly where authors get hurt, and an honest directory profile narrows that distance instead of widening it.

Reading the Archive Critically: A Note for Evaluators and Librarians

Committees and librarians assessing a publication in this journal can apply a consistent, fair method that neither inflates nor dismisses it. Read the article itself first: the archive is openly readable in PDF, and the difference between a competently executed applied study and a perfunctory write-up is visible in the methods, the data presented, and whether the conclusions follow from the results shown. Check the article's DOI resolves, and record the volume, issue, and year from the PDF masthead rather than from a candidate's list, since special issues complicate numbering. Check the journal's ISSN in whichever official list the institution's rules actually name, on the date of assessment, and file a dated record of the result; statuses change in both directions over time, and an assessment is only ever as good as its date. Distinguish, in writing, between three different things that are often blurred in files: the journal's self-description, an independently listed status, and a metric printed by the journal. Finally, weigh the publication as one element of a record rather than as a verdict on a scholar: broad multidisciplinary journals exist to give applied and project-based work a citable home, and a candidate who publishes solid project work here while also presenting at recognised conferences and building a verifiable research profile is using the venue appropriately. The problems that regulators rightly pursue — fabricated data, purchased authorship, duplicated publication, invented indexing claims in a CV — are behaviours of authors and intermediaries, and they are detectable precisely by the verification steps set out in this profile. Applied carefully, those steps protect honest authors, honest journals, and the institutions that rely on both.
