Under this new pathway, authors can revise the paper according to the review comments they previously received and then submit the paper to OFID. This new pathway is intended to speed publication and minimize unnecessary re-review of papers that previously received thorough and detailed review elsewhere.
Learn more about how to submit using this pathway.
