A review is a chance to improve the article. Your response letter should make the reviewer’s work easier.
Structure
- A short thank-you.
- Each comment separately: the comment → your answer → what changed in the text and where (section, page).
- If you disagree, explain why politely, with arguments and a source.
Don’t
- Leave a comment unanswered.
- Write “the reviewer misunderstood” — make the text clearer instead.
