Reviewer response and revision
from $475See levels and order
This service prepares the reply to a journal decision letter and, at higher levels, the revised manuscript that goes with it. It is for authors who have received major or minor revisions and want every comment answered in a form editors can check quickly.
Each reviewer comment is numbered, quoted, answered, and linked to the exact change in the manuscript. Where the authors disagree with a comment, the response gives the evidence for the position.
Specification
- You provide
- The decision letter, all reviewer and editor comments, the submitted manuscript and supplementary files, and the dataset if a reviewer asks for further analysis.
- We do
- Sort the comments by type, plan the response with you, draft the reply to each point, revise the manuscript and rerun analyses where the level includes it.
- You receive
- Response letter; at Advanced and Premium the tracked and clean revised manuscript and a change log; at Premium the revised tables and figures from the re-analysis.
- Reporting standard
- The reporting guideline of the original manuscript, for example CONSORT 2025, STROBE (2007) or PRISMA 2020, is rechecked after revision. Correspondence follows the ICMJE Recommendations (January 2026).
- Turnaround
- 5 to 10 business days, set against the journal deadline at order.
- Revision rounds
- 1 round.
- Team
- A subject-matter expert in the manuscript field, a medical writer, and at Premium a statistician.

How the work is checked
- Completeness check: a comment register confirms that every numbered point from every reviewer has a reply.
- Letter-to-manuscript check: each change cited in the letter is located in the tracked file at the page and line stated.
- At Premium, a data-to-text check of all new or changed numbers against the re-analysis output.
- References added in revision are verified against PubMed or DOI records.
- Tone read by a second expert, so replies are direct and courteous and no comment is dismissed without evidence.
Not included
New data collection or experiments requested by reviewers, the resubmission upload itself, and rewriting a rejected paper for a different journal, which is quoted separately.
Ordering and payment
Pay by invoice if the journal deadline is close, so work starts at once. Otherwise "Request this service" lets you send the decision letter first and pay after the first draft of the response, only if it meets your expectations. The letter and revised files may be used once payment is made. An official invoice and receipt are issued on request. A second round of review, or a rewrite for a different journal, is scoped by quote.
Questions
What if I disagree with a reviewer?
The response says so plainly and gives the data or references that support your position. Editors accept a reasoned rebuttal; what they do not accept is an unanswered point.
Can you meet a short resubmission deadline?
Give the journal deadline at order. Work is scheduled against it, and if the timeline cannot be met you are told before any payment.
I only need help with the letter. Is Basic enough?
Yes, if you will revise the manuscript yourself. The letter then describes the changes you tell us you have made, with their locations.
Does Premium cover any analysis a reviewer asks for?
It covers re-analysis of the existing dataset: additional models, subgroup or sensitivity analyses, corrected tests and the tables and figures that follow from them.
