Revising/Finalizing a Manuscript

Revisions

Detailed instructions for submitting a revised manuscript are included in the decision letter when a manuscript has been judged potentially acceptable for publication.

When submitting a revised manuscript, authors must:

  • ⁘  Submit revisions within 3 months of the decision letter. If an extension is needed, contact the Central Office at eNeuro@sfn.org before the deadline.
  • ⁘  Sign the electronic License to Publish form [PDF]. The corresponding author may complete the form on behalf of all authors. If they do not, a link to the form will be available on the submission system home page for each coauthor.
  • ⁘  Submit an Author’s Rebuttal, a point-by-point reply to the reviews showing how reviewer concerns were addressed.
  • ⁘  Submit an Article File with all insertions and deletions indicated, so that reviewers can easily see the changes you have made. This version should have identifying information removed to preserve the anonymity of the authors during double-blind review.
  • ⁘  Submit a Clean Copy of the manuscript text (including tables, if any) in Word, WordPerfect, RTF, LaTeX, or text format. If revisions require adding, deleting, or reordering of figures, tables, or equations, be sure that all in-text references to such items are renumbered as well. The Clean Copy may be final and include identifying information necessary in the final publication.
  • ⁘  If the statement “All animal procedures were performed in accordance with the authors’ university animal care committee’s regulations” was used in the Materials and Methods section to preserve the double-blind process, please be sure to provide the full statement, including the name of the institution. This information can also be included in the cover letter.
  • ⁘  Double-check that all in-text citations are in the reference list and that all references on the reference list have at least one corresponding in-text citation. Only published references should appear in the reference list at the end of the paper.
  • ⁘  Submitted references should include names at this stage, i.e., (A. B. Smith, C. D. Johnson, and E. Greene, unpublished observations).
  • ⁘  Submit publication quality digital figures, one per file (see Figure, Table, and Multimedia Guidelines). Check all aspects of illustrations carefully to avoid alterations in the proofs (see also the proofs section). All labels used in a figure should be explained in the legend. Double-check that all labels and symbols mentioned in the figure legend are on the final version of the figure. For questions regarding figure sizing and digital art preparation see Figures.

Image to Highlight Published Article

eNeuro highlights articles on the journal home page using illustrations related to a recently published article. Images are chosen for the carousel on the basis of aesthetic appeal and scientific interest. eNeuro is primarily interested in visually captivating images, rather than those that serve to document experimental findings. Cartoons or metaphorical images are generally not selected.

When submitting an image created by someone who is not an author of the article, please have the creator fill out and sign the following permission form, License to Use Carousel Material [PDF]. The signed form must accompany the image submission.

Images can be uploaded at initial submission of a manuscript or subsequent revision. Images should be submitted in either EPS or TIF format and have a resolution of at least 300 pixels/inch. Images will be cropped and resized to fit the carousel space, and horizontal images are preferred.


Proofs

To reduce production time, eNeuro limits author alterations in proof. Only corrections of factual errors, copyediting errors, or in the quality of figure reproduction are allowed.

Authors are given 48 hours from receipt of proofs to make and return corrections. Authors should notify the Central Office at eNeuro@sfn.org if the proofs should be sent to an email address other than that of the corresponding author listed on the manuscript.

Once a manuscript is accepted, authors’ names can only be added, deleted, or altered with the approval of the editors. Requests for changes to the author list will delay publication of a manuscript.
