Try to conduct additional experiments whenever possible, and if not feasible, carefully consider reasons for defense, but always maintain a humble and cautious tone. After all, there is a certain rate of rejection for major revisions

When responding to the comments from reviewers, all questions must be answered one by one without omission; try to meet the requirements for additional experiments suggested in the comments, and provide reasonable reasons if unable to meet them; the literature recommended by reviewers must be cited and discussed thoroughly; after revising, make sure to check the corrections made in the original draft.

If you agree with the modifications suggested by the journal editor when responding to their comments, simply accept the modifications. If you disagree, write down your reasons below the comments and provide feedback to the editor. If there is a disagreement between both parties, negotiate further

What are the differences between responding to reviewers' comments and responding to the editor's comments?

The reviewer asked me to conduct additional experiments, but my samples have run out / the experiment has ended. Will my paper be rejected if I simply mention that my samples have run out?

As long as we can keep the journal indexed in SCI, that's all that matters. If the school starts calculating using CiteScore, there's nothing to worry about. On one hand, CiteScore includes a wider range of journals, so this journal will definitely be included. Additionally, it benefits smaller journals, and there won't be such a big difference for everyone. I hope the school adopts CiteScore
