recIring

RecIring is a term used to describe the process of preparing and submitting a manuscript for publication in a scholarly journal that has previously been rejected. This can involve significant revisions to address the reviewers' comments and the editor's concerns. Authors may choose to resubmit to the same journal after making substantial changes, or they may opt to submit to a different journal altogether. The decision to resubmit, and where to resubmit, often depends on the nature of the criticisms received and the perceived suitability of the work for other venues.

The process of resubmission typically requires authors to write a detailed response letter outlining how they have addressed each point raised by the reviewers and editor. This letter is a crucial component of the resubmission package and is carefully evaluated to determine if the manuscript now meets the journal's standards. Some journals have specific policies regarding resubmissions, including time limits for revision and whether the manuscript will undergo a full review or a more expedited process. If the revisions are deemed insufficient or if the core issues remain unaddressed, the manuscript may be rejected again. Successful resubmission can lead to eventual acceptance and publication.
