Status meaning: report on revised version promised by referee

Are papers corrected by the publisher after acceptance?

Some journals will copy-edit papers post-acceptance for typos, clarity, etc. but in my experience if they're asking for "camera-ready" submissions, they're not planning on doing this. Regardless, you …

Isn't it injustice on behalf of editor to assign article status as "under review" when actua...

"Injustice" is a fairly strong way to phrase this. Is it annoying? Yes. Is it possibly reason to reconsider submitting things to this journal in the future (assuming 10 months is unusual for your fie …

Do reviewers usually ask for data? (Computer Science/ Data Science / Data Mining)

I have asked, or been asked, for data a vanishingly small but non-zero number of times. But I'm pretty secure in asserting that it's rare. As for why - I would hope they would specify this when they …

How to handle a paper by a reviewer who wants to be paid?

I think it's tremendously hypocritical of the author to submit to a journal knowing other reviewers will do uncompensated labor for his work, but not to do the same for theirs. That being said, "bein …

Why do some conferences with double blind review ask for author names when submitting the pa...

Double blind review allowing arXiv submissions

Wouldn't that effectively constitute a violation of the double-blind review policy? Clearly not, as they state that it doesn't violate the policy. Does it break double-blinding? Yes. But the i …

Is it bad to ask the editor about the status of a submission on seeing that referees' report...

Echoing other responses, one week is really not all that much time for a paper to be sitting on an editor's desk, and it's not worth sending a query. The only exception to this is if the paper is exp …
