Respond to a revision request

3 min readUpdated 10 July 2026Journals & publishing

A revision request means the editors see a path to acceptance but want changes first. Your submission’s status changes to Revision requested, and the decision letter explains what the reviewers and editors are asking for.

Read the request carefully

Start with the decision letter on your submission’s status page (you also receive it by email). It states whether the revision is minor or major, sets out the editors’ instructions, and may include a due date chosen by the journal. Decision types are explained in Understanding decision letters.

Prepare and submit your revision

  1. Revise the manuscript

    If you submitted a workspace document, revise it in the Scholardemia editor; your citations and figures stay intact. If you submitted a file, prepare the revised file the same way.

  2. Write your response to the reviewers

    Address each point from the reports and the letter, and say what you changed and where. There is no separate response field, so include your point-by-point response in the revised manuscript, or send it to the editors through the journal’s contact page.

  3. Submit from the status page

    Open the submission’s status page and submit the revised manuscript. The timeline records it as a received revision, and the status moves to With editors.

    If the journal set a due date and you need more time, ask the editorial team before it passes.

After you submit

The editors check the revision, then either send it back to review or record a decision. You will be notified either way, and every version stays visible in the submission timeline.

Questions about the requested changes?Those belong to the journal’s editorial team; reach them through the journal’s contact page. For technical problems with submitting, email support@scholardemia.com.
