REVIEW PROCESS

The review process of an article submitted to LLT Journal: A Journal on Language and Language Teaching is expected to take normally one (1) up to two-and-a-half (2.5) months but it may take longer depending on the number of papers currently being reviewed. The following are the four main steps of the review process.

  1. Every article submitted to LLT Journal: A Journal on Language and Language Teaching is firstly checked for article component completeness (for example, at least 25 references), the fulfilment of the focus and scope of LLT Journal, and similarity/plagiarism checking (maximum 20% is acceptable). 
  2. The assigned (section) editor will invite reviewers to give proper assessment and judgement of the submitted manuscript.
  3. The result of the review will be communicated to the editor for onward transmission to the author(s). In a review result report, a reviewer recommends one of the following four: a. Accept Submission, b. Revisions Required, c. Resubmit for Review or d. Decline Submission.
  4. If required, the author(s) will revise the manuscript in light of the reviewers’ comments and suggestions and resubmit the manuscript within two to six weeks. When the manuscript is finally accepted for publication, the editor will schedule the publication and inform the author(s) of the particular number and volume of the journal in which the article will be published. 

Each paper will go through a double-blind review process.

Authors are warmly welcome to submit original and unpublished papers anytime, all year round.
