In the second phase, the author is sent to make corrections. In this phase, the author or authors, once they make the improvements, must send the academic editor a letter of rebuttal indicating each improvement made by the reviewers and the academic editor along with the manuscript already improved. In the third stage, the academic editor reviews whether the improvements were made and determines whether to close the round or open a second round with the same reviewers or others as deemed appropriate. In the fourth stage, if the manuscript is accepted, it is sent to style correction and then to production where the technical editorial team makes the layout for publication.
