Q: What's the difference between the following statuses: 'Revisions Required' and 'Minor/Major Revisions Required'?
I recently got a first post-review decision on my manuscript. The decision is 'Revisions Required'. I wonder how the status 'Revisions Required' compares against 'Minor Revisions Required' and 'Major Revisions Required'?
The types of decisions provided after a peer review often depend on the journal. Usually, you would see “Minor Revisions Required” or “Major Revisions Required” if the journal wants you to revise your manuscript to address specific concerns raised by the editor/reviewers. However, since your target journal has used “Revisions Required,” it seems likely that they mean that minor revisions are required, and they probably use a different status to indicate “Major Revisions Required.” If you need confirmation, however, you can reach out to the handling editor for your manuscript with this query.
We hope this addresses your concern. Please write back to us if you need any clarification.
