Responding to peer review reports: Tips for authors

Journal publications are of ‘gold standard’ because of the peer review process. In essence, we ask our colleagues to evaluate our scholarly communications in an effort to ensure that our findings are reasonable in light of our experiments or arguments, well considered in the context of existing literature, and are communicated effectively. As peer reviewers, our colleagues will have reviewed our work and conveyed to an editor their key interests in, or concerns with, our work.
