How to review revised manuscripts

It is uncommon for a paper to be accepted for publication without changes – most papers are revised at least once in light of comments from reviewers and editors.

When a revised paper is received:

• Minor changes will usually be assessed directly by the editor
• If significant revisions were requested, the editor will usually return the manuscript to the original reviewers (unless they opted out of this)
• Rarely, the editor may invite comments from a new reviewer – the editor should explain why this fresh review is sought. It is important new reviewers respect previous review comments and the efforts the author has made to revise the paper

Ideally, any significant changes should already have been requested in the original review – this subsequent review should be to ensure that the changes have been made, rather than for raising additional issues.

Thus your review of a revised manuscript should be relatively quick and may only involve checking that certain requested actions have been done. Nevertheless, the aim of the review remains the same: to ensure the paper is of a publishable standard.

Usually the editor will provide both the original decision letter and the author’s response to it. This will allow you to see what changes were requested – including any by the other reviewer – and how the author has responded to those changes.

You should focus on how the author has changed the paper in light of their own response comments. Some journals require authors to highlight the changes in their revised manuscript, which simplifies this.

ARC Centre of Excellence for the Mathematical Analysis of Cellular Systems aims to deliver the mathematics required to compute life. The Centre will deliver innovation in computational and mathematical biology and establish in silico biology alongside in vivo and in vitro biology. These models will allow us to understand the complexity of life at the cellular level and enable new ways of combining diverse and heterogenous data. This will allow us to understand the mechanisms underlying cellular behaviour, and to apply rational design engineering methods in order to control the dynamics of biological systems.

SPARK is an extension of SPECTRUM.

SPARK is aimed at strengthening preparedness in the Asia-Pacific region through knowledge, under the ASEAN-Pacific Infectious Disease and Response program (APIDDaR).

It uses quantitative methods and modelling to strengthen regional capacity, develop innovative tools for adaptive decision making to inform disease prevention control and elimination.

A Centre of Research Excellence aimed at enhancing national and regional decision making to improve the control of infectious diseases, strengthen health systems and reduce these risks in Australia and the Asia Pacific region through collaboration, partnerships and model-based evidence to aid decision making.

The RMS is a web-based system to manage grant applications pertaining to the ARC. You have to register an account and then everything is meant to go through this portal.

The journal citation reports are a good source of high level information about different journals. If you have trouble authenticating for this database, you can access Web of Science which provides a link to the citation reports.

Elsevier also offers a journalfinder search engine. The FAQ suggests it works based on the words in the abstract.
