    Yes: you finally made it! You worked hard for months on your manuscript and, finally, you got an R&R! But… now what? Some requests seem reasonable; other comments just irritate you. Some are unclear; others contradict each another. They ask you to extend and clarify all sections, but at the same time to cut ten pages! And what if making R1 happy will alienate R2? "Aaaargh! I will never make it!" Don't worry: you are not the only one feeling this way. While there is abundance of advice about how to review papers for academic journals, how to effectively handle reviews and write response letter remains an ancient practice, inaccessible to inexperienced scholars that do not have the advantage of collaborating with more seasoned ones. In this webinar, Prof Ravasi will share how he approaches the revision process, and offer some tips about how to write response letters to the editors and reviewers, using correspondence from some of his papers as examples. Success not guaranteed, but hopefully some inspiration that may help reduce the risk that the next letter from the editor starts with "I regret to inform you…"
