Use when revising a Journal of Communication (JoC) manuscript after a revise-and-resubmit. The hard problem at JoC is that communication is a multi-paradigm field, so a single R&R can carry post-positivist, interpretive, critical, and computational reviewers who want incompatible things — inside a fixed 35-page cap. Plans the revision and response memo; it does not fabricate new results.

# R&R Revision & Response (joc-rebuttal)

Communication is **not a single-paradigm discipline**, and JoC reviewers reflect that: one referee may
reason as a post-positivist media-effects scholar, another as an interpretive or critical/cultural
scholar, another from computational communication. A JoC R&R therefore is less "satisfy everyone" and
more "**broker across paradigms** without breaking the paper" — and you must do it inside JoC's **hard
~35-page limit** (text, references, tables, figures, and endnotes all count). This skill is about that
brokering and the page budget, not about inventing data.

## When to trigger

- A JoC R&R arrived and you are scoping the revision before touching the manuscript
- Two reviewers want changes that come from **different epistemologies** and partly conflict
- Required additions threaten to push the paper over the 35-page cap
