# R&R Response & Rebuttal (smj-rebuttal)

## When to trigger

- You received a Major/Minor Revision and have revised (or are revising) the manuscript
- You need to write the response-to-reviewers letter
- You must decide how to respond to a comment you disagree with
- The manuscript changes are in progress but the response document is not yet written

> Revise the manuscript first. A response letter written before the actual edits exist will over-promise and drift from the paper.

## The response-letter structure

1. **Opening to the editor.** Thank the action editor and reviewers; state that you have revised substantially; summarize the **2–4 most important changes** (lead with how you addressed the gating concern — usually endogeneity or contribution).
