Reviewer question planning
What Questions Will Journal Reviewers Ask?
A strong pre-submission revision plan predicts the questions reviewers are likely to ask and answers them before they become reasons to reject the manuscript.
Contribution questions
Reviewers ask what is new, who needs to know it, and why the finding changes the conversation rather than merely adding one more study.
Methods questions
Reviewers ask whether the design, data, measurement, and analysis justify the claims. The sharper the claim, the stronger the evidence needs to be.
Interpretation questions
Reviewers ask whether the implications follow from the results. Overclaiming is one of the easiest ways to create avoidable resistance.
