I submitted an article on a study that sought the perception and attitude of participants towards distance learning to a reputable journal outlet for publication. Although, the article was accepted for publication (with some corrections required), however, one of the anonymous reviewers suggested that I should not retain both research questions and hypotheses in the article as that is the current practice in scientific studies. I kindly need experts' views and probably literature to support this. Thanks in anticipation.
Links and addresses of potential sponsors of faculty members' attendance at International Conferences/Workshops on Education-related fields in 2019 needed.
On several occasions, I have read that Cronbach Alpha formula in SPSS can be used but is this correct?
