Abstract
Although there are several books or manuscripts regarding how to prepare scientific manuscripts, the literatures focusing on the preparation of the revised manuscript are sparse. The process of revisions may be different between experimental medicine and clinical medicine. In this review, we summarize the tips for the revised manuscript in clinical medicine. When the authors receive the invitation of revisions from the editors, the authors should try to resubmit the revised manuscript at the earliest convenience. In the preparation of the rebuttal letter, the authors must respect the reviewers’ effort for their manuscript. It is important for the authors to make the reviewers feel that the authors take a best effort to verify the reviewer’s request.
