Step 5: Your Revision

We hope the refereeing process will be a positive experience that helps you to improve your work. Reading and receiving critical comment on your writing can be difficult - referees often focus far more closely on negative aspects of papers than positive ones. This is always with the aim of making the piece as good as it can be. If you are not experienced in this stage of the review process and would like extra preparation, please visit our page 'How to Read Referee Comments'

We normally allocate 6 months for a major revision, three months for a minor revision.
