cell-rebuttal

separate

Use after Cell reviews arrive to triage the decision, prioritize the (often substantial) new experiments by impact × feasibility, and draft a point-by-point response that is respectful, evidence-led, and closes the "completeness" gaps reviewers demand. Do not run before the experiments and revision are actually done.

When to use

• triage the decision
• prioritize new experiments
• draft a point-by-point response
• close completeness gaps
• respond to reviewer comments
• rank experiments by impact and feasibility
• address editor's load-bearing concerns

When not to use

• running before experiments and revision are done
• silently skipping emphasized comments
• defending by assertion where experiments are required
• over-promising future work to dodge needed experiments
