As scientific author, reviewer and editor, I wrote quite some rebuttals and read even more.

“Jon, you are really good at rebuttals”, a colleague said to me the other day.

So, here are my Top Tips for getting your rebuttal letter into good shape. Image
[1/11] Most important rule: Whatever happens, never respond in a rush.

Should the reviewers’ comments stir you up emotionally, DO let them rest for a day or two before you write a response.

Good practice to write a response in word and/or send it exclusively to yourself!
[2/11] You want the editor to read your rebuttal constantly agreeing with you. So please make sure that it is ultra-clear & a joy to read.

Don’t force them to scroll up-or-down. Should Ref3 & Ref1 have the same question, just repeat your answer, maybe with a bit paraphrasing.
