Revision Policy

Authors receiving a revision request are expected to carefully address all comments raised by the reviewers and editor. Revisions should improve the quality, clarity, validity, and presentation of the manuscript.

Authors should submit:
  • A revised version of the manuscript.
  • A detailed response to reviewer comments.
  • A clear explanation of changes made in the manuscript.
  • Justification for any reviewer comment that is not followed.

Response to Reviewers

Authors are encouraged to respond to each reviewer comment individually. Responses should be professional, evidence-based, and clearly indicate where changes have been made.

Recommended Response Format
  1. Reviewer comment
  2. Author response
  3. Description of the revision
  4. Page/section/paragraph where the change was made

Resubmission and Further Review

A revised manuscript may be returned to the original reviewers for further evaluation, particularly when major revisions have been requested. The editor may also make a decision based on the revised manuscript without additional external review when appropriate.

Revision Deadline:
Authors should submit revisions within the deadline specified in the editorial decision letter. If additional time is required, authors should contact the Editorial Office before the deadline.
Important:
A revised manuscript is not automatically accepted. The manuscript must satisfy the editor and, where applicable, reviewers before a final acceptance decision is issued.
