# Revision & Rebuttal (aaag-rebuttal)

A major revision at the Annals is a **scoped invitation**, not a rejection. The response letter is
judged alongside the manuscript by the **subject editor** who handled it and the **1-3 referees** (one
of whom is the editor or designate). Win by addressing every point, respectfully and concretely, and by
strengthening the **geographic argument**, not just patching mechanics.

## When to trigger

- A decision letter arrived: minor revision, major revision (R&R), or reject-with-encouragement
- Multiple referees disagree, or a referee challenges the area framing, spatial methods, or cartography
- You need to decide what to concede, what to push back on, and how to show the changes
