Proofreading Policy

  1. Initial Check by the Author: The author's primary responsibility is to ensure their manuscript is readable and free from writing errors. In certain cases, the editor may request valid proof that a professional proofreader has checked the manuscript.

  2. Selection by the Editorial Board: The manuscript then undergoes a feasibility assessment based on originality, scholarly contribution, and methodology. Only manuscripts deemed "fit" proceed to the next stage.

  3. The Proofreading Stage: The manuscript enters the core proofreading process once declared fit. At this stage, a proofreader (usually from the journal/publisher's side) will meticulously examine the manuscript to find and correct all types of linguistic errors, including:

    • Typographical errors (typos).

    • Spelling and grammatical mistakes.

    • Punctuation and capitalization.

    • Consistency in formatting and terminology.

  4. Final Objective: The result of this process is a manuscript that is not only high-quality in content (academic/intellectual) but also polished and free from language errors, making it ready for publication to the readers.
