Responding to Review Comments


http://www.sfedit.net/reviewers.pdf

1. Read all of the comments fromreviewers and the editor.

2. Never respond immediately. Allow yourself a few days to reflect on the comments.

3. If the comments from the editor and reviewers can be used to improve your manuscript, by all means, make those changes.

5. If your manuscript has been provisionally accepted, it is a good idea to respond promptly. As soon as possible, begin drafting a polite, thoughtful, clear, and detailed response.

6. Be polite. Avoid a defensive or confrontational tone in your response. The goal is to extract helpful information fromthe comments, adopt any useful suggestions to improve your manuscript, and calmly explain your point of view when you disagree.

7. Respond completely to each comment in an orderly, itemized manner, and, if necessary, copy and paste into the letter any substantive changes made to the manuscript. There is no limit on the length of your response. Most editors are willing to read a long and complete response.

8. Change and modify your manuscript where it makes sense. You are not required to make every suggested change, but you do need to address all of the comments. If you reject a suggestion, the editor will want a good reason with evidence supported by references. Just because you prefer it your way is not a good enough reason.

Guidelines for Expanding Conference Papers for Submission to the IEEE Sensors Journal


General Guidelines
 
Mandatory Actions:
  • If changes are made, choose a new title for the paper.
  • Use feedback obtained at the conference to update, revise, and rewrite the
    paper as appropriate to improve its overall quality.
  • Reference your conference paper in the appropriate locations.
  • Include a footnote in the submitted manuscript stating, e.g., "An earlier version
    of this paper was presented at the 20XX IEEE SENSORS Conference and was
    published in its proceedings."
  • Indicate in a letter (upload as a supporting document during the submission
    process) whether the conference paper was peer-reviewed and clearly state
    what has been changed.
  • Provide the original conference paper (upload a PDF file during the submission
    process).
  • If IEEE does not hold the copyright for your conference paper, obtain
    permission to reprint figures and tables that are used in the expanded paper.

Recommended Actions:
  • Expand the background section and include additional references.
  • Include novel scientific content and expanded descriptions of procedures.
  • Provide data that was not published at the conference.
  • Revise and update figures and text to avoid exact duplication of the conference proceedings.
