If revisions are requested, authors are given a specified timeframe to address the reviewers’ comments and submit a revised manuscript. The revised submission may be reassessed by the Editor-in-Chief and, where necessary, by the reviewers.

7. Final Acceptance

Upon satisfactory resolution of all reviewers’ concerns and fulfillment of the journal’s standards, the Editor-in-Chief grants final acceptance for publication. The accepted manuscript is then processed for publication in Divyayatan – A Journal of Lakulish Yoga University, contributing to scholarly advancement in interdisciplinary studies.
