Hello everyone,

I am hoping to resubmit a revised article today. I have made revisions, responded to reviewer feedback etc. When submitting the article at first there is a box to respond to reviewer comments - in this I have:

- An introduction to the editor saying thanks for the helpful comments etc and that the article has been significantly improved etc.
- Systematically gone through comments made by the author and my response.

But then there is also another section to write a cover letter to the journal editor - can I just replicate the first part of my response to the reviewers which says thanks for the feedback, we have revised etc?

Thanks for your help! I get really uncertain on simple things some times!

When I revised a paper, I actually used the same cover letter and just wrote in the box (as well as contacted the editor) to inform him that changes were made as per the feedback. Plus for the Journal I sent the paper i was expected to use the change format in MS Word to include the changes and make sure they can be tracked.
