Upon receiving reviews of a manuscript, an author should ask the editor if they are unsure of any requested revisions or if reviewer comments conflict, and confirm or propose a timeline for resubmitting the revised version. When revising the manuscript, the author should consider both the content and intent of the reviews, address the main concerns raised but may choose to not implement minor requested changes if justified. When resubmitting, the author needs to clearly outline in a cover letter how each concern was addressed, with page references to point the editor to the revisions.
