Few authors receive any training in how to respond to the comments of
editors and reviewers, although some advice on this topic has been published.1-3 In this article, we
present our suggestions.
The letter from the editor generally comes in one of 4 flavors. First,
a manuscript may be accepted without any changes. If this happens to you,
count yourself lucky; such an editorial response is rare. In our experience,
this has happened only once for each of us. Second, the manuscript may be
accepted with suggestions for minor revisions. Again, count your blessings,
quickly make the suggested changes (if you can), and return the revised manuscript;
hopefully the paper will be accepted. Difficulties typically arise with the
next 2 categories of response: outright rejection and provisional rejection
with the opportunity to make major revisions.
