Reviews In, Responses Out
摘要
This chapter discusses the imperative of adopting a professional approach by the writer when addressing comments, suggestions and recommendations provided by both peer reviewers and the overseeing editor of the project. To secure final acceptance and a publishing contract, it’s paramount for the writer to respond thoroughly to the reports from peer reviewers. These responses should be comprehensive, leaving no room for gaps or omissions, and must be exhaustive in all respects. Recognising that the publisher’s ultimate decision hinges on the completeness of these responses, the writer must approach this task with meticulous attention to detail. The chapter provides practical hints to help the writer successfully conclude this stage of the publishing process.
