Professor Danny O’Brien - How to bite your tongue and smile at the same time: Strategies for responding to reviewers

IAS Residential Fellow Professor Danny O’Brien delivers a workshop for Postgraduate Researchers (PGRs) - In this workshop, we explore the often challenging task of responding to reviewers (or examiners as the case may be). Navigating this process is a vital skill for academic publishing, yet it remains an aspect of scholarly life that many researchers find difficult. Even when reviewers seem harsh or unfair in their critique, their feedback, and knowing how to diplomatically respond to that feedback, inevitably leads to more academically rigorous and impactful publications. This workshop will be interactive using actual examples to equip researchers with practical strategies to constructively and persuasively respond to reviewers’ feedback.
