pnas-rebuttal

separate

Use after PNAS reviews arrive to triage the decision, prioritize experiments, and draft a point-by-point response that is respectful, evidence-led, and honest about limits. Do not run before the main text is actually revised.

When to use

• triage the decision
• prioritize experiments
• draft a point-by-point response
• read the editor's letter
• build a PNAS-specific revision ledger
• check claim integrity

When not to use

• run before the main text is actually revised
• silently skip a comment the editor emphasized
• defend by assertion where the reviewer asked for data
• over-promise future work to dodge a needed experiment
• forget to update the Significance Statement and abstract if you narrow the claim
• draft the response before the manuscript is actually revised
