phg-review-process

separate

When to use

• stress-testing against likely reviewer objections
• interpreting a decision letter's category and tone
• deciding whether a critique is fixable or fatal
• calibrating the ambition of the intervention
• identifying desk-reject triggers
• pre-empting likely reviewer objections

When not to use

• drafting the manuscript
• drafting the response letter
