Does your paper have great ideas but difficulty expressing those ideas? Many submissions fail acceptance due to language problems. If your paper is deemed to have content worthy of review but has language problems, the editor-in-chief may consider placing your submission on HOLD and suggest the paper be professionally copy-edited. This mentoring assists worthy authors in getting their paper published.
