FROM THE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
Dear SAJAS contributors,
I hope November is off to a good start!
General reminders and journal updates:
- If you are requested to revise and resubmit your manuscript after the review process, please remember to submit both your revised manuscript and a separate document containing point-by-point responses to the reviewers. Please also remember to clearly indicate all changes you have made to your revised manuscript, as well as indicating which changes were in response to comments or queries by which reviewer. This can be done using Track Changes in MS Word, coloured highlighting or text, and/or comments. These steps can greatly facilitate the review process. It is also helpful to use file names that clearly indicate that the manuscript has been revised, and in which review round the revisions were requested.
- If you are ever unsure about the status of your manuscript or are concerned that you have not received all the necessary feedback after revisions have been requested, please do not hesitate to contact me at [email protected].
