The College of Engineering, Tikrit University publishes TIKRIT JOURNAL OF ENGINEERING SCIENCES (TJES) for the dissemination of original research in ENGINEERING Sciences. The journal’s aims are to disseminate the latest development and achievements in scientific research to the world’s community. To ensure quality, the submission of manuscripts to TJES shall be subjected to peer review by an international board of distinguished reviewers. The journal published 4-issues/a year and in English to strengthen the international exchange of academic research. The journal provides a forum for high-quality research communications and addresses all aspects of experimental observations based on theory and applications. The journal welcomes contributions from all who wish to report on new developments and the latest findings in engineering. TJES publishes original research articles, review articles, and technical notes, that add significantly to the body of knowledge concerning science and engineering. The Journal accepts 5 types of articles that are defined as follows: 1-Research Articles: A research article is a regular article that aims to present new findings. Manuscripts of Full-length Original Articles should include an abstract (Purpose, Methods, Results, and main Conclusion), Introduction, Experimental Methods, Results, Discussion, Acknowledgment, and References. Figures, and Tables. Graphics, images, and diagrams should be submitted in a high-quality original format. 2-Review Articles: A review article is an article that aims to present comprehensively already existing findings. Review articles are intended to provide an updated perspective on a certain subject that could be relevant to the readership of the journal. Review articles should include an abstract…….etc., and new findings. 3-Technical Notes: A note is an article (regular or short) that aims to present rather new findings. Technical notes do not exceed four printed pages (including figures and tables). They are the appropriate form for new findings, original preliminary results, comments on papers published in the journal, or important new records. A Technical Note should not include an abstract. Technical notes will be reviewed as normal papers. 4-Selected Conference articles: Upon an agreement with the conference committee, selected papers may be published by the Journal in a special or regular issue.
