For Peer Reviewers

What happens after the peer review is submitted?

Submission of your review may not be the end of the story. If you have recommended substantial changes and resubmission of the paper, you may be asked to look at the revised paper when it is returned to the journal. If this happens, you will be required to make a decision regarding the extent to which the author(s) have taken account of peer reviewers' comments and whether the resulting changes have brought the paper up to a publishable standard. Do not expect authors' to comply with all the suggestions made or to agree with and incorporate all the suggested changes! Sometimes reviewers misinterpret data or miss information reported in the original submission and authors are quick to point this out. Sometimes authors simply disagree with some of the reviewers' comments. Many journals ask authors who are resubmitting a paper to include a statement saying how they have addressed reviewers' comments. This is helpful when checking through the new submission.
