Sample Comments of E-Saliksik Reviewers:
• Page 12, Theme 3 discussion: In the paper of
Baraquia, only determination is mentioned and not
self-determination. Take note that determination is
the perseverance to achieve a goal while selfdetermination is defined as "each person's ability to
make choices and manage their own life." Kindly
recheck which term the researcher intends to use.
Sample Comments of E-Saliksik Reviewers:
• Clarify if the selection of the participants probabilistic
or non-probabilistic. The researcher stated that a
random selection was conducted but also stated that
a purposive sampling was used. It must be noted that
a purposive sampling is non-probabilistic, while
random selection is probabilistic.
