What is the difference between a systematic review and a review article?
In the context of academic journals, including the CBM journal, a major revision and a revision with justification of criticisms are both processes that occur after an initial submission but have slightly different implications:
Major Revision: This typically implies that the manuscript requires significant changes before it can be considered for publication. It might involve restructuring the paper, adding substantial new content, addressing major flaws or gaps in methodology, analysis, or interpretation, and generally improving the overall quality and clarity of the work. Authors receiving a major revision decision are usually given a specific set of instructions or feedback from the reviewers and editors on what needs to be addressed. The revised manuscript will undergo another round of review to ensure that the requested changes have been adequately made.
Revision with Justification of Criticisms: This suggests that the paper has been reviewed, and while it may have several criticisms or issues that need to be addressed, they are not necessarily as extensive or fundamental as those requiring a major revision. In this case, authors are typically expected to address the specific criticisms raised by the reviewers, providing detailed justifications or explanations for their choices or decisions in the manuscript. This process may involve clarifying points, providing additional evidence or analysis, or rephrasing sections to improve understanding or address concerns. Once the revisions are made, the manuscript will be re-evaluated by the reviewers and editors to ensure that the concerns have been adequately addressed.
In summary, while both types of revisions involve addressing feedback and improving the manuscript, a major revision typically implies more extensive changes, while a revision with justification of criticisms focuses on addressing specific critiques raised by the reviewers without necessarily requiring a complete overhaul of the manuscript.
A major revision typically entails significant changes to a manuscript based on reviewer comments and editorial feedback. This could involve substantial reworking of the research methodology, analysis, or interpretation of results. On the other hand, a revision with justification of criticisms involves addressing specific criticisms raised by reviewers and providing clear justifications or explanations for the changes made.
