Newbie Questions about Resubmission

Post by Ange »

Hi. I've been a member of CC for quite some time, but after my first article was rejected with a "Do not resubmit" last May, I have not until recently tried again. I was working pretty steadily for Demand up until Christmas last year. I've decided I need to prove my mettle as a write of great content, and not be paranoid about submitting here!

So long story short, I submitted a second article last week. It's just come back with two minor revision requests, so I feel really great about that. My question is, do I edit it in the "My Content" area? Or do I fix the errors in the file and do a clean submit? I have been looking for this info, and have been unable to find protocol as it relates to this. Perhaps I am missing the obvious!

Also, is there a deadline for revisions? Barring, of course, answering a request with its own deadline attached.

Thank you for your help in advance!

To keep your review times short, edit and resubmit from the edit page. If you don't, you have to wait for a completely new review, and the editors have to go through the entire article again.

When initial editing has taken a week or two, but revisions only a few hours to one day, it can make a big difference!
