wacv-author-response
Use when responding to WACV reviews, covering the optional one-page Round 1 rebuttal and, separately, the Revise-and-Resubmit change summary that carries a revised paper into the no-rebuttal Round 2, including how to triage three reviews for the area chair, what a rebuttal can and cannot claim, and keeping every response double-blind.

# WACV Author Response WACV gives you **two different response instruments**, and confusing them wastes the one that matters. Use this after Round 1 reviews arrive. Facts are the WACV 2026/2027 cycles as read on 2026-07-09; reopen the current Author Guidelines for the rebuttal template and rules before drafting. ## Know which instrument you are writing | Situation | Instrument | Constraint | |---|---|---| | R1 reviews arrived, decision not yet set | **One-page rebuttal** (optional) | Single-page PDF, author-kit template, no external links, no new unrequested contributions | | R1 decision = Revise and Resubmit | **Revised paper + change summary** | The revision *is* the argument; there is no R2 rebuttal | | New Round 2 submission | *(none)* | Round 2 has no author-response step | The strategic point: at WACV the **change summary that accompanies a Revise-and-Resubmit carries more weight than any rebuttal**, because Round 2 has no rebuttal to fall back on. If you must choose where to spend effort, spend it on executing and documenting the revision. ## The one-page Round 1 rebuttal Treat it as a single skimmable page written for the **area chair**, who must reconcile three reviews.

Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills, a repository with 984 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
