Revising Your Manuscript

SAFE Journal of One Health provides clear guidance to help authors prepare and submit revised manuscripts efficiently and in accordance with editorial requirements.

Revisions must be submitted through the journal's submission system and include a response to reviewers, a marked-up copy, and a clean final version of the manuscript.

Submission Instructions

When submitting a revised manuscript, upload your revision through the submission system and include all of the following items:

  • Response to reviewers. Prepare a document that addresses each point raised by the reviewers and editors individually. List all changes made to the manuscript, and note that if the peer review history is made publicly available alongside the published article, your response to reviewers will also appear online. Upload this document using the label "Response to reviewers".
  • Revised manuscript — marked-up copy. Provide a version of the manuscript file in which all changes made since the original submission are clearly visible. The most reliable way to display these changes is to use the Track Changes function in Microsoft Word. Upload this version using the label "Revised Article with Changes Highlighted".
  • Revised manuscript — clean copy. Upload a final version of the revised manuscript that does not display any tracked changes or mark-up. This should be submitted using the label "Manuscript".
Please note: Any figures and supporting information files included in your original submission will carry over automatically to your revised submission. You only need to upload these again if you are replacing or updating them.

Requesting an Extension

If additional time is needed to prepare a revision, please contact the Editorial Office to request an extension.

Updating a Preprint

Updating a preprint: If you have posted or plan to post your manuscript to a preprint server either before or during the submission process, you may continue to update or revise the preprint at any point up until the manuscript is formally accepted for publication. Authors should follow the specific instructions provided by the preprint server for updating posted versions.

Contact

Authors with questions about the revision process are welcome to contact the Editorial Office.
