It sounds like you are well on track to submit prior to October if you have a draft ready. I am aiming to submit in a few months and do not quite have a few chapters to do before having a draft

Hi all,

I'm a little anxious I've not heard back from a paper I submitted that had major revisions. Do you think this is a bad sign? Should I chase them up?

Hello everyone - I have yet another question about the review process. What are people's experiences in terms of waiting to hear back after submitting major revisions? Thanks :)

Hello everyone,

I am hoping to resubmit a revised article today. I have made revisions, responded to reviewer feedback etc. When submitting the article at first there is a box to respond to reviewer comments - in this I have:

- An introduction to the editor saying thanks for the helpful comments etc and that the article has been significantly improved etc.
- Systematically gone through comments made by the author and my response.

But then there is also another section to write a cover letter to the journal editor - can I just replicate the first part of my response to the reviewers which says thanks for the feedback, we have revised etc?

Thanks for your help! I get really uncertain on simple things some times!

Hi everyone.

What chance do you think my first paper that i really want to get published has of being accepted after an initial revise and resubmit (major revisions) that will be sent back to initial reviewers will have of being accepted? Has anyone had revise and resubmit rejected? Why?

Hello everyone - any help would be great! Does anyone know of any good sites for looking for post-docs, assistant lecturer positions in the States? I haven't come across any? (also if you know any for Canada, Australia, New Zealand that would also be great!)
Thanks!!

I wouldn't be sociable with them but leave them alone generally there is not point trying to force friendship on people. In the mean time, join some lunch time seminars or reading groups etc and meet people that way

If he/she is your supervisor then in my opinion it is his paper to. Anything I produce I consider my supervisors as co-authors whether they were involved directly or indirectly. Just my opinion though others will disagree with me. Remember it is in your supervisors best interests to see you do well so trust thier judgements and that they aren't out for themselves only

Email your potential supervisors - they are best placed to advise. Personally, I would not do a PhD unless it was funded...

Great thank you!! Sounds like it is going to review then :) fingerscrossed!

Hi everyone, I submitted a paper to a biology journal but it uses scholarone which i think is very common. It now says "Awaiting Reviewer Assignment" (initially it said awaiting editorial office processing or something) - does this mean it is going out for review? Please help :)
