Overview
Responding to review comments is an inevitable step in publishing. Yet, any author who have had experience in journal submission would acknowledge that the review process is unpredictable and fraught with challenges. This seminar is aimed at sharing experiences about the review process and how review comments could be addressed. Specifically, the seminar will walk participants through the review cycle of a recently published article at Management Information Systems Quarterly (MISQ) from initial submission to final acceptance. Participants will have the opportunity to observe the evolution of review comments throughout the review cycle and to also gain hands-on practice at responding to these comments. Actual responses to reviewers will be shared with participants to derive lessons for crafting effective responses to review comments.
