bjps-rebuttal

Use when writing the response to a British Journal of Political Science (BJPS) revise-and-resubmit. The response must convert each of the (usually two-plus) double-blind referees while keeping the editor confident the revision is convergent. Structures the response letter; it does not fabricate new results.

# R&R Rebuttal (bjps-rebuttal)

A BJPS **R&R is a strong signal** that the paper is in contention. But the revision must satisfy the
(usually two or more) referees and persuade the editor that the paper now makes its case of wide
interest. The response letter must move *every* referee toward yes while keeping the editor confident
the revision converges.

## When to trigger

- An R&R decision arrived and you are planning the revision + response letter
- Referees disagree with each other and you must reconcile their demands
- A referee requests analyses that would change the paper's claims
- Writing the cover note to the editor summarizing the revision
