Rebuttal Writing

Workflow

Step 1: Parse Review Comments

For each reviewer:

1. Extract individual concerns/questions/weaknesses
2. Categorize each: major concern, minor concern, question, suggestion
3. Identify the core issue behind each concern

Step 2: Generate Responses

For each concern:

1. Acknowledge the reviewer's point
2. Respond with evidence — cite specific sections, equations, experiments, or results from the paper
3. Describe what was done (not what will be done) — "We have added...", "Our experiments show..."
4. If additional experiments are needed, describe the new results concretely

Step 3: Format Rebuttal

Use the standard rebuttal format:
