So I recently received edits/notes for a paper I submitted to a small journal. I am working on it but it seems that it is developing into a whole other paper (different perspective, stronger defining points, more comprehensive, etc). It was a weak paper to begin with so I was surprised for edits back.
Is it common to feel like a whole new paper? It went from a generic topic to highly specialized and specific. Maybe this is an odd question- but how does the process of applying edits to a paper for a peer review journal look like?
It doesn't help that this was co written but now the other author has abandoned the project- any thoughts on this as well?
Sorry just feeling a little lost and confused about the editing process. Thanks!
