itcs-author-response

separate

Use to operate under the reality that ITCS has no rebuttal or author-response phase — pre-empting reviewer objections inside the submission, then handling the post-decision situation (camera-ready window on accept, or rerouting and reusing the reviews on reject) since there is no revise-and-resubmit.

When to use

• pre-empting reviewer objections inside the submission
• handling the post-decision situation on accept
• handling the post-decision situation on reject
• rerouting and reusing reviews on reject
• folding reasonable fixes into camera-ready
• mining reviews for the real objection
• diagnosing novelty vs correctness issues

When not to use

• writing a rebuttal document answering reviewers
• writing a point-by-point response letter
• submitting to a later ITCS round
• appealing to overturn a reject
