The response to the editor consists of at least three elements: 1. Your response to the reviewers’ comments.If you do not resubmit the manuscript by the deadline, the journal may treat your manuscript as a new submission rather than a resubmission, delaying the decision on whether it should be accepted for publication. Please start with the revision of the manuscript as soon as you can so that you are not rushed by the deadline.You will need to produce a revised manuscript and detailed responses to the individual points made by the reviewers.Your task now is, with your co-authors, to act calmly and to revise the manuscript, taking into account the issues raised by the reviewers.Research shows that manuscripts which have undergone several rounds of peer review achieve higher citation counts than those accepted more quickly.But please don’t become emotional in your response – reviewers have given up their spare time to read and comment on your manuscript, almost always to make it a better, more robust paper.This process can be quite stressful – you feel that someone has criticised your research and/or your writing!.Please don’t be disappointed by being asked to revise your manuscript.You (as the corresponding author) are invited to resubmit by a specified date a revised manuscript, taking into account the comments/criticisms of the reviewers (≥2) and possibly the editor.Almost all manuscripts require minor or major revisions before being accepted.You are invited to resubmit a manuscript with minor or major revisions after addressing issues raised by the reviewers.This is great news – most submissions are rejected.You receive reviews on your manuscript from the editor of your target journal.Copyeditor on >400 research manuscripts.Principal Investigator on 47 externally funded research grants.Reviewer for journals such as Nematology, Plant Pathology, Soil Science, Crop Science, and Seed Science & Technology.Associate editor for European Journal of Plant Pathology for six years.>100 peer-reviewed papers, book chapters, and books.40 years experience in plant science research, from molecular to crop community.For more information, please see our other blogs on the peer review process.
