Use when responding to a Mind decision — a revise-and-resubmit, a reject-with-encouragement, or referee reports to address before resubmitting. The response must answer expert philosophical objections without weakening the thesis, while keeping the manuscript prepared for triple-anonymous review. Structures the revision and the response letter; it does not fabricate new arguments.

# Revision & Response (mind-revision-and-response)

A Mind decision that invites resubmission is a strong signal at a venue with **>800 submissions a
year**. The referees are expert and their objections are philosophical, not procedural. The task is to
**answer each objection on its merits** — rebut, concede-and-limit, or bite the bullet — without
diluting the thesis that earned the invitation, and to keep the resubmission **prepared for
triple-anonymous review**.

## When to trigger

- A revise-and-resubmit or reject-with-encouragement arrived and you are planning the revision
- Referees disagree with each other and you must decide whom to follow
- A referee raises an objection that would, if right, change the conclusion
- Writing the response letter / cover note that accompanies the resubmission
