Mechanical engineering research, reviewed the way it’s supposed to be.
Kalahari Journals publishes original, peer-reviewed research across mechanical engineering — from thermal systems to robotics. No inflated processing fees, no “published in 48 hours” promises. A transparent editorial process, documented in full on this site.

How review works
Full peer review policy →Every manuscript follows the same six stages — no paid fast-track.
What we do differently
A confidential, working board
Our editors' identities stay confidential, but every submission is read by an active academic or practicing engineer in its field — not a name kept for show.
COPE-aligned ethics
Our publication ethics policy follows the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) framework, with a published plagiarism threshold and retraction policy — not a vague promise.
IEEE-format, no guesswork
Author guidelines specify exact formatting, structure, and reference style upfront, so a manuscript is never rejected for a reason it couldn't have anticipated.
Submissions are open on a rolling basis.
We accept original research articles, review articles, short communications, and technical notes across all scope areas at any time — there is no fixed submission window.
Editorial board
The Editorial Board comprises experienced academicians, researchers, and professionals from various institutions and countries. Details of the Editorial Board members are kept confidential.
