TTLC2018 Publication Peer-Review Process

• Submitted manuscripts goes through a review process that normally takes between 4 to 6 months.
• A blind review is practiced so that neither contributor nor reviewers are known to one another.
• The Editor-in-Chief will have the first initial review of the paper on its suitability and relevance in consultation with members of the Internal Review Panel. If appropriate, reviewers are identified again through consultation among the Internal Review Panel. If the review reports are unfavorable, the Editor-in Chief, in discussion with the Review Panel, decides whether an outright rejection is advisable or to seek another reviewer before a final decision is made.
• In the event of rejection, the author of the paper is notified. If the reviews are encouraging, the author is notified; the review feedback will be provided for the author to undertake revisions in line with the reviewers’ comments and suggestions.
• The revised paper when received by the Editor-in-Chief will again be evaluated to ensure that all issues raised by the reviewers have been addressed. If deemed necessary, the revised paper is forwarded to the reviewers for another reading. When all aspects are satisfied, the author is notified that his/her paper has gone through the review process and is now accepted for publication in a forthcoming issue of the TTLC2018 Publication or Journal.
