ETASR Journal Home Page in ResearchGate

19 November 2025

We are happy to announce that "Engineering, Technology & Applied Science Research" has now its own dedicated ResearchGate Journal Home Page which you can access here.

ResearchGate is a social networking site for scientists and researchers launched in 2008 that currently includes more than 20 million researchers from diverse sectors in over 190 countries that use ResearchGate to connect, collaborate, and share their work.

Through our agreement with ResearchGate, all our published articles will be automatically linked to their authors' profiles in ResearchGate and to our Home Page. Further, several additional metrics and statistics will be available to all readers at our ResearchGate Journal's Home Page.

This way, researchers will be given the opportunity to seamlessly follow our journal, discover and share articles of interest and follow and contact fellow researchers.

Through this process, the visibility of our journal and of our published articles and authors is also expected to increase.

So, we would like to invite you to join ResearchGate (if you haven't already) and follow our journal at: https://www.researchgate.net/journal/Engineering-Technology-and-Applied-Science-Research-1792-8036

New Payment Option now avalaibe (Credit Card, Google Pay, Apple Pay)

26 June 2025

This is to notify all users that our publisher (PUBETA) is now able to accept credit card payments for publication fees for articles accepted in "Engineering, Technology & Applied Science Research" through Nexi Payments Greece S.A. / Nexi Xpay.

Current procedure is that a unique link can be created by us for each submission and this link resolves to a page inside https://xpay.nexigroup.com/ that states the basic information regarding your order i.e. the submission ID and the the amount to be paid to pbl/pubeta. Note that you can also select Google Pay or Apple Pay options from that page.

We will gradually incorporate the new option in our acceptance messages/payment instructions.

Meanwhile, if you have a pending payment for an already accepted article and you would prefer to use this payment option, notify the editor with a discussion in the Payment tab of your submission and we will provide the unique link for your payment.

Note that as a part of this change, the unique Wise links we used to provide will gradually be replaced by a steady link which would be the same for all Wise payments (the customer will now have to declare the amount and submission ID during Wise link payments).

For more information please refer to our new Payment Instructions page here.

Exaly: 2023 Impact Factor of ETASR (1.960)

17 September 2024

exaly is a non-profit project to address the absence of an open and comprehensive resource of scholarly literature and scientometric data. exaly provides almost all services by Google Scholar, Web of Science, Publons, Scopus, Crossref, and ResearchGate combined. However whereas almost all databases have their own agenda and/or parent company, exaly claims to be unbiased and independent, as there is no corporate or commercial interest to affect the indexing strategies/policies and no human contribution/alteration. Instead e.g. of fixing errors in a case-by-case basis, they alter the whole algorithm to reduce the probability of that error. According to ETASR page in exaly, the 2023 impact factor of Engineering, Technology & Applied Science Research is 1.960. This impact factor has been calculated by dividing the number of citations in the year 2023 to the articles published in 2021 and 2022. Engineering, Technology & Applied Science Research published 219 and 287 articles in the years 2021 and 2022, which have received 425 and 567 citations in 2023, respectively.

Scopus Coverage and ETASR Scopus CiteScore for March 2024

08 March 2024

In the past few months we have received questions from some of our members regarding our Scopus coverage as Scopus used the term "Scopus coverage years: from 2019 to 2023" in the Scopus page of some journals (including ours) and the term "Scopus coverage years: from 2019 to Present" for other journals.

We are happy to announce that, for ETASR, this has been changed and the Scopus Page for our journal now states "Scopus coverage years:from 2019 to Present".

Further, as you may know, Scopus offers a monthly calculation of citation impact through the CiteScore Tracker. As announced on 05 March, 2024 our current CiteScore is 2.9.

You can see ETASR indexed in Scopus and also see its current CiteScore Tracker value here.

Current Scopus CiteScore Tracker for ETASR: 2.8

11 January 2024

As explained in our previous announcement, Scopus offers a monthly calculation of citation impact through the CiteScore Tracker. Our first CiteScore Tracker was announced in November 2023 and had a value of 2.7. Next month (December 2023) its value reached 2.8 and it remains so for January 2024. According to Scopus, CiteScore 2024 counts the citations received in 2021-2024 to articles, reviews, conference papers, book chapters and data papers published in 2021-2024, and divides this by the number of publications published in 2021-2024. You can see ETASR indexed in Scopus and also see its current CiteScore Tracker value here.

Scopus CiteScore Tracker for ETASR

26 November 2023

ETASR has been accepted for indexing in Scopus since November 2022, as previously announced. However, our journal was not immediately visible in the Scopus site (although included in their Sources excel file). This was due to the fact that Scopus updates its browser (site) sporadically (usually twice a year) and even under this scheme, delays may be expected (as in our case). Related services (ranking, metrics etc) such as CiteScore are calculated annually and it seems that due to these delays ETASR was not included in the 2023 annual calculation. Thus, if one searches for our journal in Scopus today (Nov 2023), the returned results show a N/A value for ranking and other metrics (should be updated upon the next annual calculation, expected in spring of 2024). However, Scopus offers a monthly calculation of citation impact through the CiteScore Tracker. As stated in Scopus site, CiteScore Tracker 2023 counts the citations received in 2020-2023 to articles, reviews, conference papers, book chapters and data papers published in 2020-2023, and divides this by the number of publications published in 2020-2023. CiteScoreTracker 2023 will continue to update on a monthly basis until the next annual CiteScore calculation. The CiteScore Tracker value announced for ETASR for November 2023 is 2.7. You can see ETASR indexed in Scopus and also see its current CiteScore Tracker value here.

Clarivate JCI Quartile Ranking (Q ranking) for ETASR: Q2

11 September 2023

Clarivate has informed us that the our current quartile ranking for "Engineering, Technology & Applied Science Research" based on the Clarivate Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is Q2.

JCI is an alternative to JIF metric introduced by Clarivate in 2019 designed to represent the relative citation impact of a journal compared to a global baseline normalized per scientific field. The relative citation impact of each published paper is calculated compared to a global baseline for papers in that subject/field. The mean value for all papers published over the last three years provides the Journal Citation Indicator.

Note that journals that have received a Clarivate Journal Impact Factor (JIF) for the first time in June 2023 (like ETASR did), do not receive ranks, quartiles, or percentiles based on JIF until the release of 2023 data in June 2024. However, since ETASR has been awarded a JCI since 2019, Clarivate provides the rank and percentile (quartile) based on JCI.

Redeem your ReviewerCredits by the 31st of December 2023 (or they expire)

29 May 2023

As you know, ETASR is collaborating with ReviewerCredits to offer tangible rewards for reviewers (most notably a 10% waiver on our standard fee...for more info check our Reviewer Rewards page). This is done through the ReviewerCredits site that used to have a shop (now called the Old Reward Center) where reviewers can use the credits they have accumulated by doing reviews to purchase tangible rewards. However, ReviewerCredits have announced that they are preparing to launch a new Reward Center with a different scheme (not fully disclosed at this point) and as they state at their site: "We encourage you to redeem your ReviewerCredits gained before the launch of the new reward system by the 31st of December 2023. After that, all ReviewerCredits gained before the 1st of July 2023 will be expired and the services listed will be unavailable."

So, if you have registered any reviews with ReviewerCredits, you should make sure that you use your credits to purchase your reward(s) before 2023 expires.

Stay tuned for June 2023: Impact Factor and Scopus

27 May 2023

June 2023 will be an important month for our journal as, considering past experience, we expect that in June 2023 Clarivate will issue the 2023 Journal Citation Reports (JCR) and Scopus will update its site in order to include all titles accepted after last year's update (and thus have ETASR finally appear on the site and not just on the Scopus Source List).

*As you know, ETASR will receive its first Impact Factor in 2023 Journal Citation Reports (JCR) and has been accepted in Scopus (since November 2022).

ETASR indexed in Scopus

14 November 2022

ETASR was submitted for evaluation to Scopus in December 2021. We received feedback from them in February 2022 and their answer was that even though ETASR "fulfills the criteria for inclusion in Scopus", they object to us not showing the dates of submission, revision and acceptance for each paper and thus they want us to add these "to support the peer review procedure" and then resubmit for evaluation in "six month’s time.". So we implemented what was requested from us, and we resubmitted our journal for evaluation in September 2022.

Finally, ETASR has been accepted for indexing in Scopus on November 13, 2022. According to their acceptance email: "all recently accepted titles are listed separately in the Scopus Title list within 1 month after acceptance, see the second tab 'Accepted titles'. If you can't find your title there, please check the tab 'Scopus sources'. "

ETASR NEW TEMPLATE

05 October 2022

We will be bringing forward a new template (effective after 2023).
We have tried to incorporate several minor fixes in this new template based on community feedback and our own experience.

Most notably:
- The author section is single column with authors appearing one under the other.
- The first name of authors is no longer abbreviated.
- The title, subtitle, authors and affiliation fields are left-aligned
- The affiliations fiels is now the same font size with the authors field but the authors field uses bold fonts.
- A statement regarding the use of diacritics in title, abstract and author fields has been added.
- Equations are now fully justified.
- Section titles and table headers styles now use "All caps" (instead of small caps).
- We have added a new style for computer code segments that uses a fixed width font.

ETASR joined Crossref. DOIs assigned to all our articles

07 November 2020

ETASR has now joined Crossref. Through our membership we are now able to assign DOIs to all our published articles. DOIs are autogenerated by our system and we have chosen the simplest possible form for them. Our assigned prefix is 10.48084 and our chosen suffix is consisted of our initials (etasr) followed by a dot and the article ID number. Each article's DOI is autogenerated the very first time its abstract page is viewed by someone. All generated DOIs are automatically registered in Crossref in regular intervals (1-2 days max). This means that it is possible that you may find a non-resolving DOI if you happen to be the very first person that views this paper after our Crossref registration and you decide to check this DOI immediately after viewing. This is part of normal procedure and it shouldn't worry you. Just wait a few hours and the DOI will be automatically registered.
