Managing Revision Requests in the Review Stage

Now, let’s see what happens from the author’s side when an editorial user requests revisions to a manuscript during the Review Stage.

Once the revision request is sent, the author receives a notification and can access the manuscript to view the reviewer comments, review the requested changes, and submit the revised manuscript for further evaluation.

Step 1: Access the Manuscript​

Log in to Kryoni JMS using the Author account.

Click the relevant Journal Name to open the journal’s submission page.

Under Active Submissions, locate the manuscript for which revisions have been requested.

The manuscript status will now display Revision Requested, indicating that the editorial user has requested changes during the Review Stage.

FAQ​

What should the author do if the wrong revised file is submitted by mistake?​

If the author accidentally submits an incorrect file, the author should notify the editorial user through the Discussion section and request another revision opportunity.

The editorial user can then request a revision again, allowing the author to upload and submit the correct file.
