It feels to me like authors' responses to peer review have shifted dramatically in the past few months. This may be a temporary thing and may be due to impacts of COVID on instruction and mentoring. But prior to this year, I have seen a very small number of poorly (in my view) prepared responses to reviewers from authors. In the last six months I estimate I have seen more poorly prepared response than in the last several years combined. As with my prior posts - written from the author view - there are two main categories of problems: 1) no organized response to reviewer comments; 2) deciding, arbitrarily, or based on preference, or energy or something else, what to respond to.
