Use when responding to a Current Anthropology (CA) decision OR writing the author's Reply to the published CA✩ Comments. CA has two distinct response tasks — a normal revise-and-resubmit letter to referees/editor before acceptance, and the public, signed Reply to invited commentators printed alongside an accepted Major Article. Structures both; it does not fabricate new evidence.

# Rebuttal & the CA✩ Reply (curranthro-rebuttal)

CA gives you **two** response tasks, and they are not the same. Before acceptance, you may face a normal
**revise-and-resubmit** — a private point-by-point letter to referees and the editor. After a Major
Article is accepted, you face the distinctive **CA✩ Reply**: a **public, signed response to the
international Comments** that will be **printed alongside your article and its commentators**. The Reply
is not an R&R — it is a published piece of scholarship in its own right. Diagnose which task you are in,
then use the matching playbook.

## When to trigger

- An R&R decision arrived and you are planning the revision + private response letter
- Your Major Article was accepted and the editors sent you the **Comments to reply to** (the CA✩ Reply)
- Reviewers/commentators disagree with each other (often across subfields) and you must reconcile them
