This edition brings you guidance about how to respond to challenging
reviewer comments, how to give your article context through a solid
literature review, and how to submit a nomination for the _Proceedings
of the IEEE_ Best Paper Award.

Responding to Challenging Reviewer Comments

Most comments from reviewers are straightforward for the author to
address but, occasionally, an author may receive comments that present
more of a challenge. Below are some tips for handling challenging
feedback.

The reviewer misunderstood something in the article. When this happens,
it can be tempting to dismiss the reviewer as someone who is not
knowledgeable or insightful enough to be taken seriously. However,
remember that it is your responsibility as an author to explain your
research and your conclusions to the reviewer, and eventually, to the
reader of your published article as well. If the reviewer misunderstood
something, perhaps the reader of the published article will
misunderstand it as well. Instead of being dismissive, take the
viewpoint that there is always room for improvement and try to bring
more clarity to the area the reviewer is questioning.

The reviewer asks questions or requests additional data that your
research does not address. In your response to the reviewers, you can
acknowledge that the requested answers or data would be useful but
respectfully state that the scope of your current research project does
not include those items.

Your article’s reviewers contradict each other. Your first step should
be to re-read the Editor’s comments in the decision letter; the Editor
may have weighed in on the debate in favor of one side or the other. If
the Editor did not comment or left it up to you to decide, you should
consider each reviewer’s points carefully and then choose the
suggestion that you agree with the most. Justify your choice to the
other reviewer in your response.

The reviewer asks you to add additional references, some of which seem
irrelevant to your subject matter. It is not uncommon for a reviewer to
recommend that you update your reference list with one or two of the
most recent articles in the field. However, if the reviewer requests
references to irrelevant material, or an excessive number of references,
contact your Editor-in-Chief immediately and explain your concerns,
before you submit your revised article. Your Editor-in-Chief’s contact
information is available on the publication’s homepage in the IEEE
_Xplore_® Digital Library.

The reviewer contacts you directly about your submission. This is a
serious breach of publishing ethics. Do not respond to the reviewer;
instead, notify the Editor-in-Chief immediately and provide full details
about the communication that you received from the reviewer.

Watch the “Tips for Responding to Reviewers’ Comments” video
tutorial for more guidance on this topic.

Give Your Article Context and Depth with a Review of Relevant Works

A key part of writing your article is to include a brief review of
relevant literature in the Introduction section. A good literature
review introduces your topic to the reader and provides context
regarding recent developments and the current state of research in the
field. It also illustrates how your work is novel and how it will
advance knowledge about the topic.

Your article’s literature review should be no more than two or three
paragraphs long; to stay within that limit, avoid elaborating on any of
the studies in your literature review or quoting from them directly. (If
commenting on, or quoting from, another study that is fundamental to
your argument, consider doing so in the Discussion section, where you
can properly place the comment or quote in the context of your own
work.)

The most efficient way to create your article’s literature review is
to plan for it from the start. You probably searched relevant literature
before you began your research to ensure that you were not duplicating
someone else’s published work; when conducting that initial search,
investing some time in taking careful notes will make writing the
literature review much easier later on. In addition to collecting the
citation information for each relevant article that you find during your
search, consider recording the answers to helpful questions such as:

  	* What are the high-level findings reported in the article?
  	* How relevant is the article to your work?
  	* How recent is the article? Does it contain the most up-to-date
information?
  	* Is there an erratum, publisher’s note, or retraction associated
with the article?
  	* Can you identify any potential issues with the article’s
methodology or interpretation?

With the above notes in hand for a collection of relevant articles,
writing your literature review becomes quite straightforward. First, if
it’s been more than a few weeks since you last searched the
literature, do another quick search of recently published articles to
capture any new material in your review. Next, organize your literature
review material into an outline, starting with a broad, foundational
overview and then narrowing the focus to your specific area of interest.
Finally, start writing by following the flow of your outline, adding
context and connection as needed. Don’t worry about getting the words
exactly right the first time; it’s best to just start writing and then
return to your draft later to refine it. By the time you’re done, you
should have a cohesive, high-level summary of your topic’s recent
history and current status, which you can add to the Introduction
section of your article to help readers understand your work.

Consult the IEEE Author Center for more guidance on how to structure
your article.
