Style
We strongly encourage authors to consult the guidelines for reviewers, especially Review Guildlines Part A. Scientific Content. This will help them to understand the content standards to which manuscripts will be held.
Responding to Reviewer Comments
When responding to reviewer comments, the author will divide the responses into two sections: substantive and technical. Substantive comments refer to a manuscript�s scientific content, including the overall quality of the presentation. Technical comments refer to minor issues, such as suggested rewording of sentences or phrases, identifying spelling errors, typographical errors, punctuation, grammar, and so on. In responding, the authors should provide a point-by-point response to each separate critical comment. The reason for the distinction between substantive and technical is that substantive comments and the author�s responses will be appended to the article at the time of publication. Technical comments will not be appended.
