Summary

This chapter addresses various important issues that an author will have to deal with after a manuscript is submitted. It discusses students’ intuitive thoughts, four real-life cases (Lilly, Sue, Jeff, and Kris), and four core concepts (peer review, editorial decision, resubmission cover letter, manuscript revision). It ends with a graphic highlight of the core content of the chapter and four practical suggestions of understanding and appreciating the importance of peer reviews, editorial decisions, a professional and thoughtful cover letter, and good minor revisions or major revisions.
