Resubmission

If the editor requires revision following the first round of reviews. You will need to log into the AEJ journal system, and select the article in your submissions page. To intiate the second review stage you will need to: 

  1. Upload the new file in the revisions section. To upload a new file click on ‘Upload file.’ A new window will open allowing you to upload your file(s). Select the appropriate option from the dropdown menu
  2. Ensure that you clearly highlight all the changes made (for example using Track changes, or commenting in a PDF)
  3. Ensure that you submit a separate document "Author Response to Reviewer". This document clearly lists all the changes that have been made. We have a template (Word and LaTeX) with line numbers available that will allow you to easily reference where the changes are located.
  4. Once the revised files have uploaded, ensure that you see the correct files under revision.
  5. Add a discussion by clicking on the "Add discussion" link, to the right of "Review Discussions". This will notify the editor that you have re-submitted. If you receive an error in this step, please send an email to urban.eriksson@fysik.lu.se, notifying the editor that you have resubmitted.

The peer review process will be repeated, and you will likely receive additional revisions to make. Once these are completed and accepted, you will then be moved to the next stage.
