Those changes which seem reasonable, which appear to strengthen the article's argument and to extend its implications, and which deepen and broaden the context, should be attempted. Those which seem to the author to misread the purpose of the article or to require a kind of research or revision that would turn the essay into something quite different may not be worth attempting. Many journals consider an invitation to revise to be an agreement to work further with the author in seeking ways to render an essay publishable. When a revision is submitted, the author should make clear in a cover letter how previous readers' suggestions have been handled. What to do when a manuscript is accepted .
Editors make up the contents of their publications in different ways.
In most cases it would be reasonable to expect that an essay for a periodical published two to four times a year would be published within 24 months of acceptance. Special circumstances may, however, advance or retard publication. Authors should keep the journal informed at all times about how to reach them. Authors are expected to present accurate copytexts, with all quotations correctly transcribed and all text perfected for grammar, spelling, and orthography. Authors warrant to publishers that the material is original or that the sources are duly acknowledged.
