In the pack: ChatGPT, Claude & Gemini Prompts for Researchers & Academics
Disagree With a Reviewer Respectfully and With Evidence
Prompt
Reviewer comment: {{REVIEWER_COMMENT}}
My view and the evidence from my own study or data that supports it: {{MY_POSITION_AND_EVIDENCE}}
What the editor has said about this point, if anything: {{EDITOR_GUIDANCE}}
Tasks:
1. Steelman the reviewer's point: state the strongest version of their concern.
2. List what the reviewer might be right about, even partly.
3. Judge whether my evidence addresses the concern, partly addresses it, or does not. Be candid.
4. If a partial concession is wise, suggest a change that satisfies the concern without compromising the work.
5. Draft a rebuttal of up to 150 words that is polite, concrete and based on the evidence I gave you. Offer a clarification in the manuscript when this is appropriate.
6. List what I should not say.
Do not invent evidence or cite any literature in support. If a stronger case needs outside support, write [I NEED A SOURCE] and describe the kind of evidence required. Output the analysis in order, then the draft.
