Individual skill
jop-rebuttal
Use when writing the response to a The Journal of Politics (JOP) revise-and-resubmit. The response must convert each reviewer without alienating the editor, stay within JOP's page budget, keep the manuscript double-blind, and preserve replicability so the eventual JOP replication-analyst check passes. Structures the response letter; it does not fabricate new results.

# R&R Rebuttal (jop-rebuttal)
A JOP **R&R is a strong signal** — the editor sees a path to publication. The response letter must move
*every* reviewer toward yes while keeping the editor confident the revision is convergent, and it must do
so without **blowing the page budget**, **breaking double-blind anonymity**, or **breaking
replicability** that the analyst will later check.
## When to trigger
- An R&R decision arrived and you are planning the revision + response letter
- Reviewers disagree with each other and you must reconcile their demands
- A reviewer requests analyses that would change the paper's claims or its length
- Writing the cover note to the editor summarizing the revision
