Scientific articles of universities in ATZ Automobiltechnische Zeitschrift, MTZ Motortechnische Zeitschrift and ATZelektronik are subject to a proofing method, the so-called peer review process. Articles accepted by the editors are reviewed by experts from research and industry before publication. For the reader, the peer review process further enhances the quality of the magazines’ content on a national and international level. For authors in the institutes, it provides a scientifically recognised publication platform.

In the Peer Review Process, once the editors has received an article, it is reviewed by two experts from the Advisory Board. If these experts do not reach a unanimous agreement, a member of the Steering Committee acts as an arbitrator. Following the experts’ recommended corrections and subsequent editing by the author, the article is accepted.

In 2008, the peer review process utilised by ATZ and MTZ was presented by the WKM (Wissenschaftliche Gesellschaft für Kraftfahrzeug- und Motorentechnik e. V./German Professional Association for Automotive and Motor Engineering) to the DFG (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft/German Research Foundation) for official recognition. ATZelektronik participates in the Peer Review since 2011.
