Review the revision and plan your response.
Re-review examines the revised manuscript's methods, analysis, and conclusions, and recalculates applicable statistics. It compares the new findings with your first RigorMD report. Add the decision letter to receive a point-by-point assessment and draft responses to edit against the changes you made.

§01 What the re-review gives you
You upload the revised manuscript. The full review runs again — two independent engines, the deterministic statistical checks, the same seven severity-scored domains — and the report adds a finding-by-finding comparison against your first RigorMD report:
- No longer flagged — findings from the first report that do not recur on the revised draft;
- Still flagged — findings that persist, with any change in severity;
- Newly flagged — findings that appear in the new report.
The comparison matches findings by domain and content and is a reading aid, not proof that an issue was fixed. One re-review per study.
§02 The letter, answered point by point
Paste the decision letter (or the reviewer comments) with your submission — it’s optional, and it works on both the $39 re-review and the $99 review. The report adds a reviewer response section:
- each reviewer point grounded in a verbatim quote from your letter — points that can’t be grounded in the pasted text are listed as dropped, never invented;
- each point classified must-fix vs presentational ask, distinguishing substantive revision requests from presentation requests, with an adversarial second read on each must-fix call;
- a draft response per point and an overall response scaffold, written to be edited — language that promises acceptance is redacted, flagged, and shown to you.
The response letter stays yours to send: drafts are scaffolds to edit against your manuscript and the editor’s instructions, not language to submit unread.
§03 What it costs
- $39 when this manuscript was reviewed with RigorMD — the full review again, plus the finding-by-finding comparison against your first report;
- $99 for a manuscript we haven’t seen — the standard pre-submission review, under the same no-identifiers attestation and confidentiality posture.
Your report is private to you and the recipients you name — never visible to an institution admin. See the full lifecycle and pricing, every check we run, or the free reference-integrity checker.
