About the Journal
Mehran University Research Journal of Engineering and Technology (MURJET) is an international, multidisciplinary, open-access scholarly journal. It publishes high-quality original research articles that describe the latest developments and advancements across all fields of engineering and technology. The journal also considers review and survey papers in its priority areas, primarily by editorial invitation.
Journal’s Aim
The journal aims to support academicians, researchers, and practitioners by publishing articles that reflect the latest trends and best practices in engineering and technology. It serves as a platform for addressing and discussing both theoretical and practical advancements within the journal’s scope.
Scope of the Journal
MURJET is a peer-reviewed journal dedicated to the dissemination of original research in all areas of engineering and technology. The journal publishes research articles that demonstrate clear advancements in engineering principles, design, modelling, development, implementation, and applications. MURJET welcomes high-quality manuscripts from, but not limited to, the following disciplines:
- Civil, Structural, and Geotechnical Engineering
- Irrigation, Water Resources, and Environmental Engineering
- Agricultural and Food Engineering
- Mechanical, Automotive, Aerospace, and Mechatronics Engineering
- Chemical, Process, and Energy Engineering
- Electrical, Electronics, and Power Engineering
- Computer Systems, Software, and Information Technology
- Telecommunications and Signal Processing
- Mining, Metallurgy, Petroleum, and Gas Engineering
- Materials, Polymer, Textile, and Industrial Engineering
- Biotechnology and Biomedical Engineering
- Urban Engineering and Smart Infrastructure Systems
MURJET may also consider submissions from Architecture, City, Urban and Regional Planning, only if they demonstrate a strong integration of engineering principles, quantitative methods, or technological innovation. This includes, but is not limited to:
- Use of structural, environmental, or transportation engineering in built environment design.
- Applications involving smart city technologies, GIS, BIM, IoT, or urban systems modelling.
- Engineering-based performance analysis of materials, energy, infrastructure, or climate resilience.
- Manuscripts from these fields that are primarily theoretical, policy-oriented, or cultural in nature without engineering or technological contributions will not be considered.
The journal does not accept articles in the domains of pure natural sciences, social sciences, management sciences (including industrial management), core medical sciences and humanities. However, submissions from applied natural or health sciences may be considered only if they feature significant engineering or technological applications.

Background
MURJET was established in 1982 by Mehran University of Engineering and Technology, Jamshoro. The founding Chief Editor was Prof. Mumtaz-ul-Imam, and the founding Editor was Engr. Abdul Aziz Sangi. Initially, the journal was published in print form (ISSN 0254-7821) until publication of the July 2010 issue. Since publication of the October 2010 issue, it has been an open-access journal, for which the issues are also available in the electronic form accessible at journal’s online archives (e-ISSN 2413-7219). Since 2017, MURJET is indexed in the Clarivate Web of Science JCR currently having an Impact Factor of 0.6 (JCR Edition 2023) and is recognized by HEC Pakistan (2024-2025) in the ‘X’ Category.
