Summary:Dirks-Naylor offers guidance on how to address peer reviews of a manuscript. The peer review process is crucial for ensuring the quality and rigor of scientific research. When receiving reviews, it is important to step away and let emotions subside before critically evaluating the comments. Collaborate with coauthors to determine which suggestions to incorporate into the revised manuscript. Revisions may involve generating additional data or creating new figures and tables. Submit the revised manuscript and required documents by the specified due date. When editing the manuscript, follow the journal's guidelines for revision and create a redlined version and a clean copy. The response to reviewers should have the appropriate tone, address all concerns, and be clear and concise. It is important to thank the reviewers for their time and feedback. The cover letter for the revised manuscript should provide a brief background of the study, summarize the improvements made, and state that the manuscript is not being considered elsewhere.
