Manuscript Submission Overview
Submission Process
Manuscripts should be submitted through the JENRS submission system. All submissions that pass the initial editorial and technical screening are sent for independent external peer review. Accepted papers are published online after acceptance and listed together on the special issue website.
Research articles, review articles, and technical notes are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract of about 250 words may be sent to the Editorial Office for an initial scope check.
- Authors should follow the JENRS online submission steps and provide complete metadata, author information, keywords, and manuscript files.
- During online submission, authors should select SI on Digital & Engg. Transformations in Sci & Tech 2026 in the Special Issue or Selection field. The figure below may be used as a submission reference.
- In the cover letter section, the author should specify the special issue topic and any invitation code provided by the Special Issue Editors.

Important Dates
- Paper Submission Deadline: closed (June 15, 2026)
- Acceptance Notification: 4-6 weeks after submission
- Publication Date: 2 weeks after acceptance
Submitted manuscripts must not have been published previously and must not be under consideration elsewhere, except where a related conference version is fully disclosed and properly extended. Authors should review the Instructions for Authors, Editorial Process, Publication Ethics, Open Access Policy, and Publication Fee pages before submission.
Formatting and Language
For initial submission, JENRS journal formatting is not required. The manuscript should be clear, anonymized for review where requested, and organized using the IMRaD structure where applicable: Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion.
Submitted papers should be written in good English, use SI units where applicable, define abbreviations at first use, and provide enough technical detail for editorial screening and external peer review.
Benefits of Publishing in this Special Issue
- Focused visibility: accepted papers are grouped under a clearly defined JENRS special issue theme.
- Easy navigation: readers can access the call, Special Issue Editors, topics, and published papers from one page.
- Topic-level discoverability: each article remains linked to the special issue page, section page, DOI, PDF, and article metadata.
- Same journal standards: all submissions follow JENRS editorial screening, independent peer review, publication ethics, and final decision rules.
- Continuous publication: accepted papers can be published online after acceptance and then listed together under the special issue page.
Special issue submissions follow the same editorial screening, independent peer review, publication ethics, and final decision standards as regular JENRS submissions. Guest Editor involvement does not guarantee acceptance and does not replace independent peer review or final editorial decision-making.

A Cloud-Native Decision Intelligence Architecture for Sustainable CPG Supply Chain Networks
by Prahlad Chowdhury
Journal of Engineering Research and Sciences, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page # 35-45, 2026; DOI: 10.55708/js0501004
Abstract: Many retail and consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies use disconnected data pipelines, which can slow down decisions and increase costs. This paper introduces a cloud-native data architecture that brings together sell-in, sell-out, marketing, e-commerce, and financial data into one managed source of truth. This setup helps teams make timely and reliable decisions. Built on Snowflake,… Read More

Impact of Brainwave Entrainment using VR to Improve Attentional Learning in Children with ADHD, ASD and Comorbidity
by Manasa Mandapati and Prabhat Ranjan
Journal of Engineering Research and Sciences, Volume 5, Issue 2, Page # 24-35, 2026; DOI: 10.55708/js0502003
Abstract: Various neurological disorders (NDs) across the globe are prevalent among children, affecting their quality of life. Among them are Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and comorbid conditions, which are defined by the proximity of symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that are accompanied by impairment in several functional domains. The overall… Read More

Abstract: The risk of falling increases with age, affecting approximately one in three individuals over 65 and one in two over 80 annually. In Japan, the fall rate among older adults ranges from 8.5% to 25.3%, and falls are a major cause of fractures and long-term care needs. Balance impairment is one of the key factors… Read More

Journal of Engineering Research and Sciences, Volume 5, Issue 6, Page # 39-55, 2026; DOI: 10.55708/js0506004
Abstract: Bengali emotion classification remains challenging due to limited annotated resources, informal social media language, and the lack of comprehensive evaluations of modern transformer architectures. This study presents a unified framework for six‑class Bengali emotion classification using a corpus of 5,401 manually annotated social media comments. We systematically compare recurrent neural networks, transformer‑based models, and hybrid… Read More
