[How to deal with peer review effectively for case reports]

Abstract:
To achieve acceptance of a case report, authors must provide an effective response to the reviewers' comments and perform a thorough revision of the manuscript. Authors should adopt three key mindsets: (i) reviewers are not adversaries, but collaborators who help improve the manuscript; (ii) if a reviewer misunderstands a point, the writing should be clarified; and (iii) the revised manuscript should be resubmitted promptly. When responding to reviewers, authors should follow three fundamental principles: (i) address all comments, (ii) respond politely, and (iii) provide evidence when offering a rebuttal. The final decision to accept or reject a paper is made by the editors, not the reviewers. Therefore, when responding to a comment is difficult, statements such as "we shall abide by the editor's decision" in the cover letter may be effective.
