Peer-Review & Resubmission Support

The peer-review process is a critical stage in academic publishing and often determines whether a manuscript is accepted, revised, or rejected. Episteme Academic Consulting provides structured support to help researchers interpret reviewer feedback, prepare professional responses, and revise manuscripts in line with journal expectations—without altering scientific content.

Our role is to support clear, respectful, and effective communication with editors and reviewers while maintaining academic integrity and author ownership.

Interpretation of Reviewer Comments

Reviewer feedback can be complex, unclear, or conflicting. We assist in carefully interpreting each comment to determine the required action and revision priority. This ensures that no reviewer concern is overlooked or misunderstood.

Our support includes:

• Categorizing reviewer comments by type and priority

• Identifying required versus optional revisions

• Clarifying ambiguous or technical requests

• Managing conflicting reviewer suggestions

Rebuttal Letter Preparation

We assist in drafting clear, professional, and point-by-point rebuttal letters that align with journal norms. Responses are structured to demonstrate engagement with reviewer feedback while clearly explaining revisions or scientific justifications where disagreement exists.

Rebuttal support includes:

• Accurate quotation of reviewer comments

• Clear and respectful responses

• Justification of scientific decisions when required

• Alignment between responses and manuscript revisions

Manuscript Revision Support

In addition to response preparation, we assist with revising the manuscript itself to ensure consistency between reviewer feedback and implemented changes. Revisions are integrated carefully to preserve clarity, coherence, and scientific integrity.

Support may include revisions to:

• Introduction and background sections

• Methods clarification

• Results presentation

• Discussion and interpretation

• Figures, tables, and supplementary material

• References and citations

Resubmission and Final Compliance Checks

Before resubmission, we perform a final review to ensure that:

• All reviewer comments have been addressed

• Revisions correspond accurately to responses

• Formatting meets journal requirements

• Supporting documents (cover letters, resubmission notes) are complete

Ethical Review Support

We follow strict ethical standards. We do not generate data, fabricate results, or alter scientific conclusions. Authors retain full responsibility for their work; our role is to strengthen clarity, structure, and academic communication.
