Modifications/Rewrites

• Manuscript modifications or rewrite notifications will be sent by the editor in letter form via email to the contact author.
• Reviewer and editor comments will be provided with the letter.
• Authors have 30 days to complete and upload the revised manuscript. Requests for additional completion time must be received one week prior to the original modification due date and will be granted on a case by case basis.
• The modified manuscript must be re-uploaded in its entirety, including all illustrative material; the system does not retain the original files.
• Create a new submission letter and upload it into manuscript.
• Address all reviewer and editor comments, point by point, in the author response section.  If you do not agree with a recommendation and decide not to incorporate the change in your manuscript, please indicate your reasons.
• Update the author questionnaire and title page to reflect any changes you may have made, number of words, graphs, etc.
• Your modified manuscript will be handled according to the editor's instructions. This may mean one or both of the original reviewers will be asked to re-review your manuscript, or the editor may request the revisions to be sent directly to him for a final decision.
