Major revision
Blank
Build from scratch

Empty letter with one reviewer and one comment. Add reviewers and paste comments as you go.

Major revisionpopular
Major revision · 2 reviewers
Most general-science & social-science journals

Two reviewers, 5 comments each. The default shape for a typical major-revision letter.

Major revision
Major revision · 3 reviewers
Higher-tier journals (Lancet, BMJ, JAMA, Nature subjournals)

Three reviewers, 6 comments each, plus editor block. Use when the journal sent three reports.

Minor revision
Minor revision
Quick-turn revisions

Two reviewers, 3 comments each. Concise pro-forma tone — short responses, fast turnaround.

Reject & resubmit
Reject & resubmit
Treated as a new submission with prior history

Detailed multi-reviewer block + emphasis on engaging the harshest comments. The cover letter must show transformation.

Major revision
Nature-style (firm)
Nature, Science, Cell-family journals

Reviewers are technical and short. Responses must be precise, evidence-anchored, no padding.

Major revision
Early-career conciliatory
First-time corresponding authors, students, ECRs

Two reviewers, 4 comments each. Conciliatory tone — graceful acknowledgment first, then the change.

Conditional accept
Conditional accept
Almost-there letters with copy-edit / clarification asks

One reviewer + editor block, short comments. Short, thankful, decisive responses.

Tone rubrics

Pick the voice your journal expects. The AI coach matches it on every reply.

Diplomatic (default)
General-science and social-science journals

Open each response by paraphrasing the reviewer's concern in one short sentence (proves you read it). Then state the change you made, then cite the location in the revised manuscript. Even when rebutting, lead with 'We thank the reviewer for raising this — on reflection we have…' rather than 'The reviewer is mistaken.' End every response with a concrete pointer to the revised text.

Firm on methods
When reviewer 2 has clearly misread the analysis

Polite but unyielding on methodological points. Acknowledge the concern, then walk through the evidence that supports the original choice. Cite the methods text by location. When the reviewer's suggestion would weaken the paper, explain why with one named precedent or guideline (e.g. CONSORT, STROBE, PRISMA) rather than 'we believe'.

Conciliatory (ECR-friendly)
Early-career researchers, first revisions

Graceful, generous tone. 'We are grateful for this careful read…' / 'This is a fair point we had not fully addressed…' Lead with gratitude, then the change, then the pointer. Avoid technical jargon in the responses themselves — keep the cover letter and responses readable in a single pass.

Lancet / BMJ house style
Lancet, BMJ, JAMA-family journals

Crisp, evidence-anchored, journal-house tone. Open the cover letter by restating the headline finding in one sentence, the population, and the implications. Per-comment responses are 1-3 sentences each. Reference STROBE / CONSORT / PRISMA where appropriate. Manuscript pointers cite page and line.

Nature / Science (firm + brief)
Nature, Science, Cell-family journals

Reviewers are senior, time-pressed, technical. Responses must be SHORT (2-4 sentences max), precise, evidence-anchored, and never hedge. If you have new data, lead with it. If the comment is a misreading, say so directly but cite the figure/panel that clarifies. No 'we hope this clarifies' filler.

General academic
Multi-disciplinary journals

Standard point-by-point structure. Each response: (1) acknowledge, (2) state the change, (3) cite location. The cover letter recaps the top 3 changes in plain prose.

Coach, not ghost-writer

The AI drafts and rewrites responses using only what you supply. It never invents page numbers, table refs, statistics or co-authors — those become [bracketed placeholders] for you to fill in. Read the full policy.
