amj-rebuttal

Use when drafting the revision and response letter after an Academy of Management Journal (AMJ) revise-and-resubmit — structuring point-by-point responses to the action editor and reviewers across a multi-round developmental process. Drafts the response after revisions; it does not interpret the decision letter (amj-review-process).

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

## When to trigger

- You received an AMJ R&R and have planned the revision (via `amj-review-process`)
- You have actually made (or scoped) the manuscript changes and need to write the response document
- You must reconcile conflicting reviewer demands for the action editor
- A later-round decision asks you to defend or further revise prior changes

> Write the response letter **after** revising the manuscript, not before. The letter documents changes you have made, not promises. AMJ's process is developmental and typically multi-round; resubmit the revised manuscript and response document through ScholarOne (mc.manuscriptcentral.com/AMJ), keeping the same action editor across rounds where possible, and remember the revised main body still must respect the **40-page limit** (text + references + appendices).

## Response-document structure

1. **Opening letter to the action editor.** Thank the editor and reviewers; summarize the most important changes in 2–4 sentences; explicitly state how you addressed the editor's stated priorities. Note where reviewers conflicted and how you resolved it.
