Dear BMC Editors,
It was a pleasure to know that our manuscript MS 1503114358129025 is
under final minor revision.
Since last 3 revised versions I am informing that title changed as suggested
by reviewers. I did update it on line system and upload revised version in 10th
January. I have just copied and pasted, so I do not understand why it was not
updated. New title: “Clinical characteristics and biopsy accuracy in suspected
cases of Sjögren’s syndrome referred to labial salivary gland biopsy”.
Please, give me some advice how to solve this, because even following
direction from the site, I got another requirement to adjust title.
Follow are point-by-point responses to concerns.
Answers for editorial requests:
1. Title
Please ensure that the title of your manuscript is correct and identical in
both the submission system and in the manuscript itself. These currently
differ.
Reviewers have suggested to modify title. It was changed from “Diagnostic
value of labial salivary gland biopsy for Primary Sjogren's Syndrome in the
Clinical Practice” to “Clinical characteristics and biopsy accuracy in
suspected cases of Sjögren’s syndrome referred to labial salivary gland
biopsy”.
I did correct the title in the system making them identical in both
submission system and in the manuscript itself.
