Reviewer’s comments:
THIS IS A REASONABLY INFORMATIVE ARTICLE. HOWEVER, ARTICLE IS LACKING WITH THEORITICAL JUSTIFICATION AND DEEPER ENGAGEMENT OF OTHER RESEARCHES. AUTHOR SHOULD SERIOUSLY REFER TO WOS JOURNAL ARTICLES FOR STRENGTHENING THE LITERATURE REVIEW AND MOTIVATION.
ALSO, THE RESEARCH ISSUE IN THE INTRODUCTION HAS TO BE FURTHER CLARIFIED IN THE LIGHT OF A CRITICAL EVALUATION OF THE LITERATURE. THIS NEEDS TO BE THEN REFLECTED IN THE CONCLUSION AS WELL.
OVERALL, A MILDLY COMPETENT PAPER THAT DOES NOT BREAK ANY NEW GROUND. IT IS SUITABLE FOR PUBLICATION IN NON SCOPUS JOURNAL BUT IT WILL NOT WIN ANY PRIZES!
Guest Editor’s Comments:
PAPER SHOULD BE WRITTEN IN IMRAD FORMAT.
AUTHOR NEED TO ENSURE THAT, ALL CITATIONS IN TEXT MUST BE DOCUMENTED IN THE REFERENCES.
REFERENCES MUST BE LISTED IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER BY THE FIRST AUTHOR'S LAST NAME. ONLY REFERENCES CITED WITHIN THE TEXT SHOULD BE INCLUDED.
ENSURE THAT IN-TEXT (CITATION) REFERENCES ARE QUOTED AS PER THE APA IN- TEXT CITATION STYLE.
I STRONGLY SUGGEST THAT IT BE EDITR AND PROOFREAD CAREFULLY BY AN ENGLISH SPEAKER TO MAKE IT PUBLISHABLE.
