How to respond to referee comments for scientific articles? [Bilimsel makalelerde hakem görüşlerine nasi{dotless}l yani{dotless}t verilmelidir?]

Currently, the increasing number of article submissions to scientific journals forces editors to be more selective in their acceptance of papers. Consequently, editors have increased the frequency of their use of scientific referee mechanisms. For many researchers, the publication of a scientific article in a high impact factor journal is a gradual and difficult process. After manuscript preparation and submission, one of the most important is responding to the comments of referees. However, there is a paucity of published reports in the literature describing how to respond to these comments. The aim of this review is to assist researchers/ authors in responding to referee comments as part of the publication process for scientific articles. © 2013 by Turkish Association of Urology.
