Revision

 When minor or significant modifications are suggested, the staff at 'CrossLink Studies' will advise the author to update their manuscript prior to its evaluation by the academic editor. In situations where reviews are conflicting or include suggestions for rejection, the input of the academic editor is obtained to guide the revision advice given to authors. At this juncture, the possibility of enlisting additional reviewers or soliciting more reports for a thorough assessment might be explored by the academic editors.

The decision to forward revised manuscripts back to reviewers hinges on their initial request to review the modifications. Typically, manuscripts that undergo substantial changes or those initially recommended for rejection are resubmitted to the concerned reviewers. The updated manuscript is made accessible to all reviewers through the dedicated portal at CrossLink Studies Submission Site.

Generally, a manuscript is allowed up to two major revision cycles. Should further revisions be deemed necessary by the reviewers, the 'CrossLink Studies' team will consult the academic editor to determine the next steps.

Should the revision period extend beyond two months, it is advisable for authors to temporarily withdraw their submission and resubmit once adequate revisions have been made. This approach helps avoid undue haste in the revision process, ensuring comprehensive and thoughtful modifications to the manuscript.
