Case Scenario

Case Scenario

An original article entitled “Modified Frey’s procedure versus standard Frey’s procedure for chronic pancreatitis – a randomized controlled trial” was submitted to the “Journal of Chronic Pancreatitis.” After peer review, the editorial decision on paper was to resubmit after major changes with point-to-point response to comments of the reviewers.

Which of the following is true or false?

  1. 1.

    Can I selectively respond to only reviewer’s comments that I feel relevant?

  2. 2.

    Can I disagree with reviewer’s comments?

  3. 3.

    Will the editor update the manuscript with changes based on my response to reviewer’s comments?

  4. 4.

    Will my revised manuscript be subjected to peer review again?
