Loay Kassem: My 5 Golden rules of responding to reviewers’ comments
Loay Kassem, Assistant Professor of Clinical Oncology at Kasr AlAiny School of Medicine, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“My 5 Golden rules of responding to reviewers’ comments.
Receiving a long list of reviewers’ comments and edits my your article can be depressing. These are the rules you shouldn’t miss.
1. Respond as FAST as you can.
A prompt response shows the journal editor that you are serious and professional.
2. Respond point by point.
Don’t leave any reviewer’s comment or question without addressing it. You can either comply to the suggested edit or politely explain why you wouldn’t.
3. Keep track of your edits.
You should keep all versions of your manuscript available to go back to. This is essential when submitting your manuscript to multiple journal in sequence (of course after rejection).
4. Revise all your files before resubmission.
Make sure you do all the needed edits to the separate files with tables, figures and supplementary materials. When resubmitting, make sure you upload the new ones.
5. Read all the edited manuscript one more time.
This helps to make sure no conflicting statements are present and no more edits are needed.
Follow me for more tip on research and publication.”
