Individual skill
jhr-rebuttal
Use when a Journal of Human Resources (JHR) revise-and-resubmit arrives and you must plan the response letter — answering referees and the handling editor, satisfying the reconciliation and sensitivity demands, and confirming no fee applies to invited revisions. Strategy and structure; it does not write your results.

# R&R Rebuttal Strategy (jhr-rebuttal)
## When to trigger
- A JHR R&R or conditional-acceptance letter arrived
- You need to structure point-by-point responses to referees and the editor
- Referees asked you to reconcile with prior estimates or add sensitivity tests
- You are unsure how much weight to give the handling editor vs. the referees
## JHR-specific framing
- **No fee for invited revisions** — the $175 charge is initial-submission only, so resubmit cleanly without budgeting again.
- **Single-anonymous review:** referees know who you are; keep the tone collegial and specific, and avoid defensive or status-based appeals.
- **The reconciliation requirement carries into revision.** If referees ask why your estimates differ from prior published work, the expected response is **comparative estimation** (re-run under the prior spec/sample) plus **sensitivity tests** — not prose alone. JHR explicitly may require this.
