jais-rebuttal

Use when a Journal of the Association for Information Systems (JAIS) revision decision has arrived and you must plan the revision and draft the point-by-point response — prioritizing the Senior Editor's letter, answering theory- and method-specific concerns in their proper currency, updating the required data materials, and keeping the manuscript within its category budget and double-blind anonymity. Drafts the response after the manuscript is actually revised; interpret the decision first with jais-review-process.

# Rebuttal & Response Letter (jais-rebuttal)

## When to trigger

- You received a major or minor revision (or a reject-and-resubmit) from JAIS
- You have read the decision with `jais-review-process` and revised the manuscript
- You need a point-by-point response that the Senior Editor and reviewers can audit
- Reviewers conflict and you must decide which way to revise

## Revise first, then write the response

Do not draft the response letter before the manuscript is actually revised. The response is a map to real changes, not a list of promises. For each point, make the change in the manuscript first; the letter then points to where and how. This matters more at JAIS because the process is **developmental** — the SE is engaging with the paper's trajectory, and an honest, concrete response shows you used the developmental opportunity rather than deflecting it.

## Anchor the revision in the Senior Editor's letter
