(a) 首先，要把編輯評委提出的修改意見逐條列出。 建議這里直接quote對方的原文， 比如象這樣：
"The reference to Bianchi's model published in 2000 is a bit obsolete, even Bianchi has produced and published (in this same publication) a better model."
這樣直接quote對方的原文，表明你并沒有歪曲，修改對方的意見，是對方的一種尊重。
(b) 然后開始回答你是如何針對這個意見來修改你的文章。
(b-1)首先，你要寫出你對編輯評委意見的理解：
Reviewer 1 requires that we should update our reference to Bianchi's work.
(b-2) 指出我們在沒有修改前，我們是如何寫的.。
In our previously submitted draft, we use the following reference to Bianchi's work:
[3] G. Bianchi, "Performance analysis of the IEEE 802.11 distributed coordination function", IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications, vol. 18, no. 3, pp. 535-547, 2000.
(b-3) 闡述你針對這個意見做了什么事。 比如這個意見是說我給出的一個reference太舊。 我就說明我上網去查閱了專門的數據庫，列舉查到的結果， 并對結果進行解釋和說明：
We checked IEEE Xplore database and found two Bianchi's letters mentioned by Reviewer 1:
1. G.Bianchi, “IEEE 802.11-saturation throughput analysis", Communications Letters, IEEE, vol. 2, no. 12, pp. 318-320, 1998.
2. G.Bianchi, I.Tinnirello, ”Remarks on IEEE 802.11 DCF performance analysis ", Communications Letters, IEEE Volume: 9 Issue: 8 Aug 2005
Page(s): 765- 767.
The frst letter is the short letter version of [3]. The second letter proposes a non-Markov chain approach for IEEE 802.11 DCF analysis.
Extensive work have been done on analyzing IEEE 802.11 DCF performance. Most of them use a Markov chain approach based on Bianchi's work in [3], and accordingly [3] are frequently mentioned in publications in this area.
Our analytical model also uses Markov chain approach, which is still based on Bianchi's work in [3]. Thus it is reasonable that we should mention it. Also compared with Bianchi's letter published in 1998, more details are presented in [3]. Thus we decide to mention [3] instead of that letter as [3] can help readers better understand Bianchi's work as well as our work.
Regarding Bianchi's second letter published in 2005, it contributes a new approach to analyzing the performance of IEEE 802.11 DCF. Elementary probability theory instead of complicated Markov chain is used in this letter. However, this work still ignores the effect of using data rate switching as most other work in this area do. It is diffcult for us to list numerous publications in this area due to the limited space. Therefore, in this draft, we only list the closely related publication (reference [3]), because we used this work in our analysis.
(b-4) 如果我針對這個意見對文章做出一定的修改，應該列舉出對應的修改：
The related statement in the revised draft is as follow (referred to Paragraph 2, Section I):
“Despite extensive work on analyzing the performance of IEEE 802.11 DCF, most of them consider stations use a single data rate only and the effect of using DRS has been largely ignored, such as that in [3]."
寫這種response letter時要注意語氣，表現出禮貌。 最好要說一些"We thank the anonymous reviewers for their constructive comments"之類的客套話在(b-1)部分。此外，很有可能對方給的意見你本人不贊同(比如上面的例子)，這時更要注意語氣，同時給出詳細可靠的數據證和充足的理由解釋你為什么不贊同對方的看法(b-3)。 當然，為了照顧對方的情緒，可以在文中加一兩句無關痛癢的話來cover對方的意見，如同我在上面的例子中(b-4)做的那樣。
如果對方的意見確實是正確的和很有幫助的，在(b-1)更加要毫不吝嗇的發表贊同的話，在(b-2)部分，可以用“incorrect"這類負面意義的詞來形容自己以前文章中的相關內容， 表明自己深刻認識到這個錯誤。此外，(b-3)(b-4)可以合并，要詳細介紹你是如何針對這個意見修改文章的， 不要再浪費過多時間來為你以前文章做辯護。
