Peer Review Process

 

An email message will be sent to the author/s acknowledging the manuscript reciept. JSLLT has a blind review process and it is important to know that all author's identifying information to be removed from the manuscript and that author's information should only be stated in the title page. The author/s of the article should be informed that the journal takes plagiarism very seriously and the authors are cautioned against it.

Each submitted article is first scrutinised for its style consistency and appropriateness of the topic. If accepted for blind review, the manuscript will be sent to, at least, two readers: Typically, one has broad general knowledge of the field, and one has expertise in the particular topic or methodology. Within 100 days, authors can expect to receive one of four decisions: (a) manuscript acceptance, (b) acceptance with revision, (c) nonacceptance with an invitation for revision and resubmission for another round of review, or (d) nonacceptance and recommendation for submission to a different publication. Reviewers aim to provide authors with helpful feedback for manuscript revision and future manuscript preparation. Manuscripts that fail to follow submission guidelines will not be reviewed.
