Responding to Peer Review - Online
础产辞耻迟:听You have submitted your journal article and received an encouraging response from the editor. But how should you respond to the various and sometimes contradictory comments of the peer reviewers? Peer review is an essential part of the publishing process, but it can be difficult to navigate effectively. In this workshop, we will run through the different responses you might receive from a journal, from "accept with minor revisions" to "reject, revise, and resubmit". We will discuss how to tackle reviewers' comments, from minor quibbles to requests for new results. And we will discuss how to craft convincing responses to reviewers and editors.聽 The goal of the workshop is to help you move from receiving a peer review to seeing your article in print. 聽
