Author‘s Comments
I feel that the editorial process does not keep the reviewers report in mind when making editorial comments.
The submission process is very lengthy and in my opinion unnecessary, take for example, the core-tip, a written core-tip would be as good. The language letter is another unnecessary hurdle, if the reviewer feels the language is good , then the editor still wants a language certificate. We are authors in Pakistan and cannot afford processing fees or language certificates.
