To further improve the quality of the articles published by the PST journal, Proofreaders are engaged to check and correct the typos and format issues, if any.

While checking the manuscript or proof, Proofreaders need not check the reference formatting as there is a person exclusively assigned reference checking and correction.

However, reference citation within the text must be checked by the Proofreader for compliance with the journal style. Remove duplicate references included in the Reference section and reference numbers must be changed both in the text as well as in the reference section. Reference numbering in the text must be in the increasing order starting from (1). References should not be alphabetically sorted under the reference section.
