hi, hope you're all having a beatiful day.
i have just received comments on a paper that i sent off last week pointing to an error in scope in the publication, saying it didn't cover some things and also giving me information that could have enhanced the quality of the paper. none of it points to an obvious error, apart from not taking into consideration some stuff and not noting the latest on some things.
what should i do? since the paper is under review, am thinking that if it gets past the referees then thats it. i will let it be, because there is no such thing as a perfect paper. i will incorporate these comments in my thesis and other forthcoming papers. do you think am going wrong by taking that approach instead of recalling the paper and amending it. prior to sending it off, i had got it reviewed independently by about 5 people and presented it in conference and no one noted these faults with the paper. what would you do?
