Current status "minor review" what is next? I submitted a paper in a journal under Taylor and Francis and after the first review the status of the paper is &quot;minor review&quot;. Both of the reviewers said that my manuscript can be accepted with some minor revisions. I am currently editing the paper according to their suggestions. My question is after I submit again will it go to the same reviewers or new reviewers will be assigned? How long will it take from a minor review to acceptance? I have no problem if it goes through multiple minor reviews but my main concern is to get acceptance notice since it is mandatory for my thesis defense, even &quot;acceptance with minor review&quot; status will work.
Ask the editor for guidance on this. It is hard to predict how long any review will take since the time available to reviewers for this work varies so much and is usually unpaid. Whether it goes to the same reviewers or not is up to the editors. If they want things done quickly (not a given) then going back to the same reviewers (or a subset) helps move it along.
But perhaps you can get some assurance, though not a guarantee, that the paper will actually get published. Let the editor know why this is important to you at the moment and that you aren't just anxious as all authors tend to be.
