Dr. Renana Peres, The Lean, The Mean, and The Keen: How to Read and Respond to Reviewer Reports
-
Monday 12th of October, 2020, 14.30-16.00. Zoom link here.
You submitted your paper to the journal, waited for 2, or 3 months, or more, and now it is back with the reviewer reports. They rarely say that your paper was amazing. Often they have many suggestions and corrections, sometimes they contradict each other. What do you do? In this talk, we will introduce you to the science (some say, art) of reading and responding to referee reports. We start with reading – what is important and what is not? How to read between the lines? Why is Reviewer 3 always so mean? We then move to building a revision plan. Finally we give some tips and advice as to the writing of the point-by-point reply. We will analyse some real life examples, and show how things look from the reviewers’ perspective.
