Comment taxonomy

Use this file to classify reviewer comments before drafting responses.

Severity

Severity	Meaning	Default handling
minor	Presentation, clarity, formatting, citation, or small method-detail issue that does not alter the main evidence chain	Usually draftable with text change or citation placeholder
major	Evidence, validation, method, statistics, interpretation, or scope issue that may affect claims or editorial confidence	Requires explicit action, evidence, or author input
blocking	Ethics, compliance, data integrity, missing required approval, unsupported central claim, or unresolved fatal methodological issue	Do not draft a confident response without author action
unclear	Insufficient information to judge severity	Flag for author confirmation

Categories

Editorial / presentation

Includes unclear writing, structure problems, missing definitions, figure readability, title/abstract mismatch, or confusing terminology.

Default strategy:

• Usually ACCEPT_TEXT or ACCEPT_FIGURE.
• Revise wording, structure, legend, definition, or abstract-title alignment.
• Give section, page, line, figure, or placeholder.

Evidence / interpretation

Includes unsupported claims, overinterpretation, missing control, causal claim not justified, clinical relevance not shown, or alternative explanation.

Default strategy:

• Use ACCEPT_EXPERIMENT, ACCEPT_ANALYSIS, SOFTEN_CLAIM, CLARIFY_EXISTING, PARTIAL, or DISAGREE.
• Do not invent results.
• If evidence is absent, soften the claim and add a limitation.

Methodological

Includes missing method detail, reproducibility issue, missing baseline, missing validation, unclear sample size, software/model/version not stated.

Default strategy:

• Use ACCEPT_TEXT, ACCEPT_ANALYSIS, or AUTHOR_INPUT_NEEDED.
• Request exact method details when author notes are vague.
• Map to Methods, Supplementary Methods, protocol, code, or figure/table.

Statistical

Includes inappropriate test, missing effect size, multiple testing issue, insufficient power, missing confidence interval, unclear replicate definition.

Default strategy:

• Treat major statistical critiques as high risk until details are supplied.
• Ask for test name, replicate unit, sample size, correction method, effect size, confidence interval, and exact results where relevant.
• Do not invent p-values, confidence intervals, sample sizes, or effect sizes.

Data / code / materials

Includes missing accession number, source data unavailable, code not provided, restricted data not justified, FAIR metadata incomplete, materials availability.

Default strategy:

• Use ACCEPT_TEXT, CLARIFY_EXISTING, AUTHOR_INPUT_NEEDED, or BLOCKING.
• Request repository, accession, DOI, license, access route, or restriction reason.
• Coordinate with nature-data if the user asks for full data-availability wording.

Citation / positioning

Includes missing prior work, inaccurate novelty claim, wrong comparison, field context incomplete, reviewer-requested citation.

Default strategy:

• Use ADD_CITATION, SOFTEN_CLAIM, CLARIFY_EXISTING, or DISAGREE.
• Add citations only when genuinely relevant and verified.
• Do not fabricate DOI, publication year, title, journal, or authors.

Scope / feasibility

Includes requested experiments beyond scope, future-work suggestions, journal-fit concerns, transfer-related concerns.

Default strategy:

• Use PARTIAL, OUT_OF_SCOPE, SOFTEN_CLAIM, or DISAGREE.
• Acknowledge scientific value.
• Give a study-design or scope reason, offer alternative evidence, and add a limitation.
• Avoid time, funding, or convenience as the primary reason.

Ethics / compliance

Includes ethics approval missing, consent missing, animal/human-subject reporting, competing interests, image/data integrity, or permissions.

Default strategy:

• Usually BLOCKING or AUTHOR_INPUT_NEEDED.
• Request exact approval number, institution, consent statement, reporting checklist, image-processing details, or data-integrity explanation.
• Do not draft around missing required compliance.
