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

If a manuscript is finally accepted, it will be sent back to the corresponding author for another round of proofreading after it undergoes professional manuscript editing and/or English proofreading. Proofreading should be conducted again for any misspellings or errors by the authors.

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.
