Final Proof of the Article:

One set of page proofs (as PDF files) will be sent by e-mail to the corresponding author, or a link will be provided in the e-mail so that the authors can download the files themselves. If authors do not wish to use the PDF annotations function, they may list the corrections and return them to IJOEAR in an e-mail at info.ijoear@gmail.com or info @ijoear.com.com .

As per journal policy, the final article is sent as a proof to the author, and the author needs to list corrections quoting line numbers. If, for any reason, this is not possible, mark the corrections and any other comments on a printout of the proof, then scan the pages with corrections and e-mail them back within the given timeline. Please use this proof only for checking the typesetting, editing, completeness, and correctness of the text, tables, and figures. Significant changes to the article that has been accepted for publication will not be considered at this stage without prior permission.

It is important to ensure that all corrections are sent back in one communication: please check carefully before replying, as inclusion of any subsequent corrections cannot be guaranteed. Proofreading is solely the authors' responsibility. Note that IJOEAR will proceed with the publication of the article if no response is received within three days.

Copyright and Licensing:

Authors retain the copyright to their work but grant IJOEAR the right to publish and distribute it under the Creative Commons Attribution License. This allows others to share and adapt the work with proper attribution to the original authors.
