Use when revising a Journal of the American Academy of Religion (JAAR) article after a revise-and-resubmit and writing the response to readers' reports. Reviewers come from different traditions and methods, so the response must satisfy each on its own terms while protecting the article's argument and its broad significance. Plans the revision and response; it does not fabricate sources.

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

A JAAR **R&R** is a genuine opening at a journal that rejects ~90%. But the readers may come from very
different corners of the study of religion (a textual scholar, a theorist, an ethnographer), and they
will ask for different things. The response letter must answer each report on its own terms while
keeping the **argument** and its **broad significance** intact — and the revision stays double-blind.

## When to trigger

- An R&R / revise decision arrived and you are planning the revision + response letter
- Readers' reports pull in different methodological directions
- A reader asks for engagement with a literature or source base that would reshape the article
- Writing the cover note to the editor
