Manuscript Submission. Don't you just hate it when your submission to the journal office has to be sent-out for peer review? Don't you hate awaiting comments of the peer reviewers on your manuscript not knowing when the replies of the reviewers are going to come in? After several weeks or months of anticipation, when the replies from the reviewers are finally in, don't you just hate it when their comments and their recommended changes happen to contradict one another and you don’t know which reviewer’s comments to implement and end up having to write a rebuttal? Manuscript Revision. Don't you just hate the laborious and arduous task of revising and re-submitting a revised manuscript along with the point-by-point replies-toreviewers back to the journal office for the editor to request reassessment from the reviewers who must check and see if the revisions made in the manuscript are adequate and if they are satisfied with the changes made? Don’t you hate having to "wait-it-out" again, not knowing if your revised manuscript is to be accepted, rejected or returned for further revisions?
