Revision and Response to Reviewers (jacs-revision)
When to trigger
- A decision letter (major/minor revision, or reject-with-encouragement) arrived
- You need to triage referee comments into experiments vs edits vs rebuttals
- You are drafting the point-by-point response letter
- You must decide whether to appeal or to resubmit elsewhere
Triage the reports first
Sort every numbered comment into one bucket:
| Bucket | Action |
|---|---|
| Data-required | A control, extra characterization, X-ray, kinetics, or scope substrate is genuinely needed → do the experiment |
| Clarification | A real point the text/figure can fix without new data → edit + point to the change |
| Defensible disagreement | Reviewer is mistaken or asks beyond scope → rebut politely with evidence |
| Optional/over-reach | Nice-to-have; address briefly or explain why out of scope |
