corrections of manuscript

Overview

• Go through the manuscript comment by comment.
• Make the smallest possible edit to fix each comment.
• Do not rewrite or reorganize the manuscript.
• Keep the original structure, flow, and tone.
• If a comment asks for clarification, add only one clear sentence.
• If a comment points to repetition, delete or shorten the repeated text.
• If a comment requests consistency, adjust the wording across the paper (e.g., always use “CYSN approval”; define “timely access” the same way in Abstract, Methods, and Discussion).
• If a comment is about tables or figures, fix labels, footnotes, or formatting only. Do not change results or numbers.
• Do not add or delete entire sections unless a comment specifically asks for it.
• Leave a short reply to each comment in the margin (e.g., “Fixed,” “Clarified definition,” “Deleted duplicate sentence”).
• If a comment is unclear, mark it for clarification.
• Deliver two versions:
  1. A tracked-changes version with replies to comments.
  2. A clean version with all changes accepted.
• The final goal is a manuscript that looks the same overall, but with every coauthor comment resolved clearly and professionally, ready for Q1 journal submission.
• Please feel free to ask me for clarification if anything unclear.
