How to submit the revised manuscript to the journal?
Submitting a revised manuscript requires uploading your corrected file(s) via the journal’s online peer-review management system, directly responding to the editor’s decision letter outlining required changes. This action confirms you have addressed the reviewers' and editor's comments.
Crucially, prepare a detailed point-by-point response letter itemizing how you addressed every reviewer comment and manuscript change. Revisions should meticulously follow the reviewers’ specific feedback and the editor's instructions, incorporating changes clearly (e.g., using track changes or color highlighting). Ensure the final manuscript version strictly adheres to all formatting guidelines. Submit *only* the requested revisions by the specified deadline; avoid introducing significant new data or analyses unless explicitly requested. Proofread all materials thoroughly before submission.
Follow the journal’s submission portal instructions carefully. Locate your initial submission, upload the revised manuscript file and the comprehensive response letter as separate documents, and any other required files. Review the uploaded materials within the system before final confirmation. This structured revision process demonstrates scholarly engagement, directly addresses concerns raised, and significantly enhances the manuscript's likelihood of acceptance for publication.
