Submitting a revised manuscript

Back
When you are asked to “Revise your manuscript” you will be notified by email and your submission will move in the folder “Submissions needing revisions” in your Author Main Menu page.

The View Submission link allows you to see the PDF of the most recent version of the submission.

 

Starting your revision

The Submit Revision link provides access to the ‘Submit Revised Manuscript’ interface that leads you through the submission process.

Download Files

This allows you to download any of the source files that make up your submission if you do not have the version that was submitted to the office. Click on “File inventory” to access the list of files associated with your submission.

The following screen will appear, allowing you to choose which files to download.

 

Submit revision

This interface is similar to the ‘Submit New Manuscript’ interface. You may change any information by clicking the links at the left of the page. When you get to the “Attach Files” step in the process you may choose whether or not to carry over files from the previous version to the new Revision.

Respond to Reviewers

You will have access to all Reviewers comments by clicking the “View Decision Letter” link in your response screen.

Please respond to the comments of the reviewers in a formal manner. To save you time online, you should prepare a “Response to Reviewers” document on your personal computer. You will be able to “copy and paste” your comments clicking on “Respond to Reviewers”.

 

Attach files

When presented with the list of source files, there is a checkbox displayed to the right of each file. The checkbox must be checked to carry the file over to the new version of the submission. Do not keep original copies of revised files in the manuscript.
