Submission of revised manuscripts

Manuscripts which need either major or minor revisions should be resubmitted through the online submission system. Authors should indicate the changes made in the document by either using the "Track changes" function (preferred) in Microsoft Word (for .doc or .docx files) or by crossing a straight line for deleted phrases (strikethrough) and highlighting the new phrases in red color. The reviewers’ comments should also be addressed specifically on a point-by-point basis.

After Acceptance

Once a manuscript is accepted for publication, the authors will receive a proof of the manuscript following the format of the journal. Some articles may need English editing to meet the standards of an international journal, which may not only delay the publication process, but also be an important reason for rejection. Therefore authors who are less fluent with English writing are strongly advised to have their manuscripts proof-read by English-editing companies to improve the quality of the journal and increase the probability of acceptance. Additional charges may also apply for articles (especially from authors less fluent in English) which the Editorial Office considers English editing is essential.

There are no additional charges for publication at VSI, and the author may download for free (since VSI adheres to a free, open access policy) the final version of their article in PDF format from our online journal site. Authors may request for additional reprints of their article, in which case additional charges may apply.
