Can the author be modified during the review period of the sci paper?

Writing a sci paper is not easy, it takes a lot of time and energy, and sometimes we will encounter the situation where the author needs to be revised during the review of a sci paper. This is actually more sensitive, because the paper may be rejected because of this, then the sci paper Is it possible to revise the author during the review period? Let's take a look at my sharing.

Some journals can be modified during the review stage, and some cannot modify the author's information after submitting the manuscript, so it also depends on the regulations of the submitting journal. If the author of the paper can be added or deleted, there should be a clear and reasonable explanation. As long as the reasons are reasonable and reasonable, the author of the paper should be modified.

Relevant regulations for adding or deleting authors:

1. To change the author (including the ranking order, increase or decrease the number of people, etc.) and the author unit, a change letter with the official seal must be issued by the original manuscript recommendation unit, and the reason should be explained if necessary;

2. The change letter should have the opinion and signature of the first author of the article stating "agree to change", and should also re-write the other authors' (or changed) work units and changed projects to avoid publication errors;

3. When changing the author or work unit, special attention should be paid to the corresponding English part that needs to be changed at the same time;

4. The change letter should be sent to the editorial department 45 days before the publication of the issue, and the number of the original manuscript should be written in the letter.

How long does it take to review SCI papers?

The sci paper review goes through several steps: initial review, reviewer review, revision/rejection, revision review, and final decision. The time to complete these steps is the time required for SCI paper review, there is no uniform standard, and it is related to journal review efficiency and article quality.

1. Preliminary trial. After the sci paper is submitted, it needs to pass the preliminary review, which generally takes 1-2 weeks to complete. Of course, many articles will be rejected during the initial review process.

2. It is the review of the reviewer. The review time of the examiner mainly depends on the examiner, generally about 1-3 months. If the reviewer's review opinions differ greatly, you can also ask the reviewer to review, which will take longer than the reviewer's review result directly.

3. Revise/reject the manuscript. A rejected paper is equivalent to failing the journal's review. The paper to be revised needs to be completed by the author one by one according to the revision comments. Modifications are divided into minor repairs and major repairs, with major repairs taking longer. Generally, authors have 1-3 months to revise. In addition, there is the possibility of being hired directly, which can save time for revisions and rework audits, but relatively little.

4. It is a repair audit. The revised paper needs to be returned to the journal for re-examination. The time required can be 1 month or longer. If there is a second or third revision, the time will definitely be longer than the first revision.

5. Final decision. After a fix or multiple fixes, there is a decision in the end. If accepted, the review will be completed. If it is rejected, it means that the review has failed.
