LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Your Research Paper must be accompanied by a short “Letter to the Editor” where you explain to me what you have changed, what you have kept, and what you have learned from writing this paper. Here, you must talk about the differences between your draft and your final version.
Below is an example of how to write your letter:
