# Rebuttal & Response Letter (jf-rebuttal)

## When to trigger

- A JF **revise-and-resubmit (R&R)** has arrived and you must respond
- You are deciding whether/how to answer a reject-with-encouragement
- The revision is drafted and you need to map every editor/referee point to a change

## A JF R&R is rare — treat it accordingly

With **~5% acceptance** and **~33–45% desk rejection** (afajof.org editor reports, accessed 2026-05-30), an R&R from JF is precious. The path to acceptance runs through the **handling editor** (currently the team led by **Antoinette Schoar (MIT)** — verify the masthead): the **editor's letter, not any single referee, defines what acceptance requires**. Address the editor's framing first and most fully.
