How to Submit a Revision and Tips on Being a Good Peer-Reviewer

摘要

Many instructional guides have been published on how to write scientific papers. Likewise, many published articles have focused on the reasons why submitted manuscripts are rejected. However, fewer publications have been presented to guide authors on how to address reviewers’ comments in a manuscript revision. Even fewer papers counsel authors on how to deal with a rejection decision. In this paper, we will present a literature review on the strategies to get a paper accepted, despite an initial unfavorable review. We will share our experience on addressing reviewers’ comments to get a paper accepted and published. Finally, we will discuss the process of peer-review and offer tips on how to be an effective peer-reviewer.
