Individual skill

jel-revision

Use when responding to editor and referee feedback on a Journal of Economic Literature (JEL) survey — coverage gaps, balance complaints, framework/structure asks, and accessibility. Drafts the response letter and revision plan; it does not run the submission preflight (jel-submission) or redesign the spine from scratch (jel-organizing-framework).

# Revision & Response for a Survey (jel-revision)

## When to trigger

- An editor/referee letter on the survey arrived (revise-and-resubmit or major revision)
- Referees flagged missing literatures, imbalance, or "reads like a list"
- The editor asked to expand, cut, or rebalance coverage
- You need a point-by-point response letter for a survey, not a primary paper

## Categories of survey feedback (and how to answer each)

JEL revision asks cluster differently from primary-research asks. Triage every point into one bucket:

| Feedback type | Typical phrasing | Response move |
