Submitting your Revised Manuscript to the Medical Journal

How to Submit your Revised Manuscript to the
Medical Journal?
2

• Its very rare that you submit your manuscript to
  a peer-reviewed journal and dont receive a
  request to revise it. Most journals ask to revise
  your submission at least three or four times
  before its finally accepted.
• If that sounds cumbersome to you, this article is
  not for you.
• Because receiving a request from the journal
  editors to revise your manuscript is far better
  than absolute rejection. It means that your idea,
  your research and your manuscript struck a chord
  in the reviewers minds.

How should you go about submitting your revised
manuscript to the medical journal?
4
1) Ask the following questions to the journal
editor if their decision letter doesnt clarify it

• Whether to highlight the revisions in your
  submission.
• If yes, what will be the preferred mode of
  highlighting change-tracking, yellow
  highlighting or colored text?
• Does the medical journal want you to submit two
  versions of the revised manuscript? One with the
  changes highlighted and a clean version?

2) Submit a response letter accompanying your
revised manuscript. Follow these tips to write a
good response letter.

• Start the letter by acknowledging the time and
  effort reviewers and editors have put into
  assessing the previous version of your
  manuscript.
• List each of the reviewers comments into your
  response letter followed by a comment. The
  comment should clearly state the way you
  addressed the issue in the revised manuscript.
• If you choose not to change the manuscript in
  response to a particular suggestion from the
  reviewers, explain why.

3) Dont respond individually to each spelling or
punctuation or similar trivial errors. A
statement like I corrected all the spelling and
grammatical errors pointed out by the reviewers
is sufficient. 4) If English is not your first
language and you hire a professional manuscript
writing service to polish your writing, state
this to the journal editors. This shows youve
done what you can to minimize the language errors
in the manuscript.

5) Finally, dont conclude the response letter
with an audacious quote like I have made all the
corrections requested by the reviewers and expect
them to accept my manuscript without further
ado! It shows your disrespect towards the
reviewers. Wind up the letter by saying I look
forward to hearing from you in due time regarding
my journal submission and to respond to any
further questions and comments you may have.
