io-rebuttal

Use when writing the response to an International Organization (IO) revise-and-resubmit. IO R&Rs come from expert IR referees whose anonymous reviews the editors return with a decision letter, and the editor adjudicates. The response must convert each reviewer on the IR theory and design without alienating the editor, keep the manuscript double-blind, and keep results and proofs re-runnable for IO's pre-final-acceptance verification. Structures the response; it does not fabricate new results.

# R&R Rebuttal (io-rebuttal)

An IO **R&R is a strong signal** — first-round accepts are rare at the field's leading IR journal. The
editors return **anonymous expert reviews** with a decision letter and **adjudicate**, so the response
must move *every* reviewer toward yes on the **IR theory and design** while keeping the editor confident
the revision is convergent — and keep the package verifiable for the post-conditional-acceptance check.

## When to trigger

- An R&R decision arrived and you are planning the revision + response memo
- Reviewers disagree (e.g., a rationalist and a constructivist referee pull in opposite directions)
- A reviewer requests analyses or model changes that would alter the paper's claims
- Writing the cover note to the editor summarizing the revision
