Revised Guidelines

Manuscripts that have been reviewed are expected to be revised immediately to adjust suggestions and questions in the review results. Authors are given 15 days to change the paper, starting from submitting the review results. If the author does not upload the revised document at that time, the report will be rejected for publication (decline). An extension of time can be given if there is a strong demand and reason from the author. The revised paper will then be uploaded to the Journal website and sent via email at lpm.jqaie@gmail.com. The following are the provisions for adjusting papers in the Journal:

1. When a reviewer provides a comment on the paper (in the comment box), the author is asked to reply directly in the comment box. The answer from the author can be in the form of revised information or reasons/arguments if the author is unwilling to change for some reason (please submit it in the comments column, which is provided briefly and in detail).
2. Revisions on paper or additional materials/sentences; please block yellow highlighters.
3. Attach an example of a revision process paper to the Journal to facilitate the revision process by the author.
