ahr-revision-and-response
Use when responding to an American Historical Review (AHR) decision — a revise-and-resubmit or rejection. AHR articles are read by at least six demanding specialists, so the response must address expert reports while protecting the argument and keeping the manuscript anonymized. Structures the revision and response letter; it does not fabricate new evidence.

# Revision & Response (ahr-revision-and-response)
An AHR decision typically comes with **multiple expert reports** (the journal uses at least six
readers). An R&R is a strong signal at a journal that accepts roughly **8–10%**. The response must
convert demanding specialists while keeping the editor confident the revision converges — without
diluting the historiographical intervention.
## When to trigger
- An R&R arrived and you are planning the revision + response letter
- Reviewers disagree with each other and you must reconcile their demands
- A reviewer challenges your reading of a source or asks for more archival work
- Writing the cover note to the editor summarizing the revision
