Types of revisions
Major revisions
Structural issues, missing sections, weak arguments. Typically require 4–8 weeks to address.
Minor revisions
Grammar, citations, formatting. Usually 1–2 weeks to complete.
Revision strategy
- Read all feedback before starting
- Create a checklist of required changes
- Prioritize by impact (argument changes first, then formatting)
- Track which comments you've addressed
- Submit a revision memo explaining changes
Timeline: Major revisions = 4–8 weeks. Minor = 1–2 weeks. Budget extra time for committee review.
