Peer Review Process
Peer-review is a significant action that must be carried out during the process of academic publication. Every paper submitted to LLIST is read by at least 1 reviewer who is an expert in his / her field. Reviewers provide input to the editor and associate editor to determine whether a paper is to be published or not. Reviewers also help the authors to improve their quality of writing by providing constructive advice. The manuscript will be sent to two reviewers anonymously (Single Blind Peer Review).
Reviewers for LLIST are asked to read the paper handed to them meticulously and write detailed reviews. The paper evaluation process must follow several criteria:
1. Originality: the contribution of the paper to knowledge
2. Argumentation: the arguments are clear, logical, and reasonable
3. Accuracy: the data, quotations, references, theories, and research methods are accurate
4. Presentation: the paper is clear and understandable
5. Conformity: the paper is appropriate for LLIST
Reviewers must use a critical but constructive discussion tone and are not permitted to use a negative or harsh tone.
After the review process, reviewers are asked to make one of the following recommendations:
1. Accepted as is……
2. Accepted with minor revisions (paper accepted with minor revisions based on the results of the review)
3. Accepted with major revisions (paper accepted with major revisions based on the results of the review)
4. Rejected (paper rejected because it requires full revisions and/or is incompatible with LLIST.
All reviews will be read by the associate editor. The associate editor will write a report and make recommendations. The editor uses the report and recommendations to determine the final result of the paper. Regardless of the result, the report will be sent to the author.
