About the Journal
The purpose of the Engineering Journal of Satbayev University (EJSU) is to highlight new ideas, problematic issues of science and technology, the latest developments and research for a wide range of specialists. The journal contains reports on the results and achievements of research by scientists, graduate students, doctoral students, undergraduates, which have theoretical and practical significance.
We welcome submissions of manuscripts from leading specialists in the mining and metallurgy industry, progressive R&D laboratories, commercial organizations and universities with an established mining and metallurgy profile.
Our editors uphold transparency in research; assess articles for their scientific merit; ensure that content is devoid of any signs of discrimination; and examine information objectively and independently of any conflicts of interest. A paper that is submitted must be unique work that has never been presented or published before. When a work is submitted for publication in this journal, it is assumed that it is not already in press elsewhere or being evaluated by another journal. To maintain the highest publication standards, every manuscript goes through a comprehensive assessment procedure while adhering to all ethical rules.
The journal was founded in 1994 under the title Vestnik KazNRTU (ISSN 2709-4766 (Online), ISSN 2709-4758 (Print)). Since 2022, the journal has changed its title to "Engineering Journal of Satbayev University" (ISSN 2959-2348 (Online)).
From 1994 to 2024, the journal published articles in three languages: Kazakh, Russian, and English. However, starting in 2025, the journal will publish manuscripts exclusively in English to enhance its international visibility and accessibility. The title and abstract of each article will also be published in Kazakh and Russian.
