Revising Your Manuscript
If your manuscript receives a revision decision, you must carefully follow the workflow below to ensure your revised manuscript is processed correctly:
- Check the due date: You will receive a revision decision from the Section Editor along with a specific deadline. Ensure you submit your revision before this due date.
- Prepare the revision log: Create a "Revision Log" (Response to Reviewers) document. Copy all comments provided by the reviewers one by one into the table.
- Provide detailed responses: Answer or respond to each comment within the revision log. Clearly state what changes have been made and indicate the exact page and line number of the revisions on the rightmost column of your table.
- Revise the manuscript: Make the necessary changes directly within your manuscript document. You MUST HIGHLIGHT the revised text (e.g., using yellow highlight). Do NOT use the Track Changes feature.
- Submit both files: Upload both the highlighted revised manuscript and the detailed revision log to the system.
Important: Submissions returned without a complete and detailed Revision Log will be sent back to the authors and will delay the publication process.
