            We encourage authors to provide a copy of previous
            reviewer's and editor's comments. These reviews and
            rebuttals need to be dated and within 6 months of the last
            submission date. It is our belief that these prior reviews
            may assist us in expediting your manuscript for
            re-evaluation, thus facilitating more rapid publication; in
            some cases, the manuscript may be accepted immediately.
            Please include the prior reviews and your responses in the
