Stage-I
Firstly, all Books/book Chapters submitted for publication in LPP are evaluated by Expert Committee Members. The Expert Committee employs double-blind reviewing, where both the referee and author remain unnamed throughout the process.
Stage-II
After Stage-I, Books/book Chapters are sent to a minimum of two outer reviewers for peer review. If required, the number of reviewers can be raised by editors. Reviewers are selected from the Reviewers board according to their expertise. Referees are asked to evaluate the manuscript's uniqueness, methodology, contribution to the literature, presentation of results, conclusions, and proper referencing of relevant prior studies. Reviewers might accept the manuscript or reject the manuscript, which might require a revision for style and content.
When the Reviewers require revision, the author(s) is to consider the recommendations suggested by the Reviewers, and they should be sent back the revised manuscript in 25 Days. Once revised manuscripts are rand returned after 25 days and are considered to re-review should be initiated from the initial stage; this time, we will consider making it into a new submission. The Possible Decisions are Accepted, Accepted after Minor Revision(Authors should resubmit the revised manuscript within one week.), or Rejected.
Stage-III
After fulfilment of Stage-I and II, the Chief Editor Made a final report for a submitted Books/book Chapterand assigned it for publication.
LPP takes seven to eight weeks to conduct the peer-review process.
