How authors revise articles based on reviewer comments

 

Revision Standards for Authors

To All Esteemed Authors, in an effort to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of the article revision process, we are implementing the following new standards.

 

Mandatory: Change Indication

All sentences modified or added during the revision process must be highlighted in RED. This is to facilitate the editorial team's review and verification of the changes made.

Revision Guidelines & Submission

When submitting your revised manuscript, you are required to upload exactly 2 documents in the "UPLOAD REVISION" section:

1

File 1: Author Response Form

The author fills in the table in the document according to the reviewer's suggestions or comments.

File 2: Revised Manuscript

Objectives of this Standardization

 
Expedite the revision checking process.
 
Improve accuracy in the revision process.
 
Streamline author & editor collaboration.
 

Additional Tips for Responding to Reviewers

  • If you disagree with a reviewer's comment, explain your reasoning respectfully and provide evidence to support your position.
  • If you need to conduct additional experiments or analyses to address a reviewer's concern, state that you will do so and provide a timeline.
  • If a reviewer asks for a clarification about a specific point, and the clarification does not require a manuscript revision, then clearly explain the concept in your response.
  • If there are multiple reviewers, create a separate response to each reviewer.
  • If the journal provides a specific template for responses, use it.
  • If you are unsure how to respond to a particular comment, consult with a co-author or mentor.

We expect these standards to be adhered to by all authors to ensure the smooth progress of the publication process. Thank you for your cooperation and attention.

Sincerely,
Editorial Team
