It depends on the quality of the revised paper. The better quality, the less revisions. In general, neither authors, nor editors/reviewers interested in revisions multiplication.
A ususal way is a review by two or three reviewers that give their peer-review to the editor, who weights the manuscript and sends his/her decision to the author(s).
If a general accordance of the reviewers and editor is positive with minor up to major changes is considered, then the author(s) is(are) invited to do so.
Once their corrections are done and the MS is re-sent, the editor judges if another round of review is needed (especially if major corrections were requested).
Usually, this second round is enough for rejecting or requesting last further corrections.
If this latter is the case, once the corrections are done and the MS re-sent to the editor, he/she takes a final decision: publishing or rejection.
In summary: no more than two rounds of review are needed.
Some journal editors (along with reviewers) will require two, three and sometimes four revisions before they will accept an article for publication. Some editors will reject an article even though they have put the authors through many stages of revise-resubmit. https://www.researchgate.net/post/How_many_revisions_does_it_take_to_produce_a_top_academic_article
Moez Ltifi Sir has pointed out an important issue. Some journals do multiple revisions then reject the manuscript finally. To my knowledge, two times revision is enough to reach a decision. After carrying out more than 5 times revisions then finally rejecting the paper discourages the authors from further submission to a journal. The authors hope to get acceptance multiplies when more revisions take place for a manuscript but the final outcome of rejection generally discourages the authors as they put in lots of effort, hard work, and spent the time to revise the manuscript.
Interesting topic. I don't think the journals specify the number of revisions rrequired.The most important issue if for the authors to adequately address the issues raised by the reviewers. The maximum number of revision I have ever done was 4.
Specific number of revisions aren't exacted from authors. It depends essentially on the quality of the submitted article. I would go with Len Leonid Mizrah
Depends on the editorial staff and authors. If I am asked to have a major review of my contribution for the third time, I would take it for a No and quit. Similarly, if I am a reviewer, I would refuse to do the paper for the third time.
Dear Moez Ltifi thank you for your technical question which is certainly of broad general interest. In the majority of all submissions to scientific journals there will be only one round of review and revision. A second round of revision can become necessary when a reviewer asked for "major revision with re-review". If that has been done and all points raised by the reviewer have been addressed in full, the manuscript should be finally accepted. In this context please have a look e.g. at the following guidelines to The MDPI Editorial Process
https://www.mdpi.com/editorial_process
It is stated here that "A maximum of two rounds of major revision per manuscript is normally provided. If more rounds are required according to the reviewers, MDPI staff request a decision from the academic editor."
Also in this context, please have a look at the following closely related RG thread entitled:
How many revisions does it take to produce a top academic article?
I used to peer review for Mark Allen Publishing Group. It really did depend on the author/s on the number of revisions. Sometimes s/he was very experienced and there was very little to point out. However, if the author/s were very novice, I could see that there was a good article in the making, but quite a few revisions were required.
There is no number attached to the revisions. If you can satisfy the reviewers in the first revision itself, then that's all. But if the revised paper keeps on bumping, then that means you are not attending to the reviewer's comments up to their satisfaction.
Actually it depends on the quality of journal and reviewers's satisfaction.
But in some cases the reviewers in every time of revision gives a new comments that means he didn't read the manuscript carefully when he received it, this increases the numbers of revision.
It is not ever like "if you go over 3 revisions, then your paper will be automatically rejected".
My record is 4 revisions in some journals, actually. I agree with Mahmoud Motasim Hassan that it depends very much on the quality of the journal and the reviewers' attitude.
