ajps-rebuttal

Use when writing the response to an American Journal of Political Science (AJPS) revise-and-resubmit. The revised manuscript stays double-blind, the response memorandum is submitted anonymized, and any new analyses must keep the replication package re-runnable for the third-party verifier at acceptance. Structures the response; it does not fabricate new results.

# R&R Rebuttal (ajps-rebuttal)

An AJPS **R&R is a real opportunity** — most accepted papers earn it through revision. The response
must convert each reviewer while keeping the editor confident the revision converges, and it carries
two AJPS-specific constraints: the **resubmission stays double-blind** (the response memorandum is
uploaded **anonymized**), and any new analysis must keep the deposited code **re-runnable**, because a
third-party verifier will re-run it at acceptance (see `ajps-replication-and-verification`).

## When to trigger

- An R&R decision arrived and you are planning the revision + response memorandum
- Reviewers disagree and you must reconcile their demands
- A reviewer requests analyses that would change the paper's claims
- Writing the cover note to the editor summarizing the revision
