1. Deadlines

Authors are asked to submit revisions within 2 weeks for minor revision and 4 weeks for major revision. Extensions may be requested before the deadline.

2. Response to Reviewers

Every revised manuscript must be accompanied by a response table listing each comment, the authors’ response, and the location of the change. Changes in the manuscript should be highlighted.

3. Disagreement with Reviewers

Authors may respectfully decline a suggestion when they provide a reasoned academic justification.

4. Further Rounds

The editor may return the revised manuscript to the original reviewers. Normally no more than two revision rounds are allowed; a manuscript that remains unsatisfactory after that may be declined.

5. Late Revisions

Revisions received after the deadline without an agreed extension may be treated as new submissions.
