Use when drafting the response to an Administrative Science Quarterly (ASQ) R&R after the manuscript has been revised — structuring the response letter and handling reviewer/editor comments. Drafts the response; it does not perform the underlying revisions (do those first).

# R&R Rebuttal (asq-rebuttal)

## When to trigger

- You have an ASQ R&R and have **already revised** the manuscript
- You need to structure a point-by-point response document
- Reviewers disagree and you must navigate between them without contradicting yourself

> Revise the paper *first*. The response letter documents changes you made; it is not a substitute for making them. If you have not revised yet, return to the relevant asq-* skill.

## Mindset for an ASQ revision

ASQ's review is developmental — treat reviewers as collaborators who took the idea seriously. The winning posture is **gracious, responsive, and intellectually serious**: accommodate where they are right, and where you disagree, argue with evidence and respect rather than dismissal. The central question the handling editor (under Editor **Beth Bechky**, term began July 1, 2025) and reviewers will ask is "did the *idea mature*?" — consistent with ASQ's emphasis on **curating** papers that will endure. Foreground how the contribution got *deeper*, not just which boxes you ticked. A response letter that reads as a checklist of mechanical robustness additions — adequate at some quantitative-leaning journals — will underperform here if the theoretical insight has not sharpened.
