"name": "jar-rebuttal",
"description": "Use after a Journal of Accounting Research (JAR) revise-and-resubmit to plan the revision and draft the point-by-point response — prioritizing the Senior Editor's first-order concerns (identification, the channel, measurement) and updating the required data-and-code package. Plans and drafts the response; it does not run the new analyses from scratch (jar-data-analysis) or re-run the submission preflight (jar-submission)."

R&R Revision & Response (jar-rebuttal)
When to trigger
- You received a JAR revise-and-resubmit and must plan the revision
- You need to draft the point-by-point response to the Senior Editor and referees
- Referees disagree and you must triage which concerns are binding
- New analyses change tables and the data-and-code package needs updating
Sequence: revise first, then write the response
Do the analytical work before drafting the letter. A JAR R&R turns on whether you have actually strengthened identification, the economic channel, and measurement — not on rhetorical skill. The Senior Editor's letter is the binding map: it tells you which referee points are first-order (and must be resolved) versus second-order (where a reasoned reply may suffice). Address the editor's priorities first.
Triage the referee points
- First-order (must resolve): endogeneity/identification threats, an unidentified channel, fragile or invalid construct measurement, sample-construction concerns. These usually require new analyses (a cleaner setting, additional diagnostics, alternative proxies, falsification tests).
- Second-order (resolve or reason): additional robustness, exposition, framing, extra citations. Implement where cheap; otherwise explain clearly.
- Conflicting referees: do not whipsaw the paper. State the trade-off and follow the Senior Editor's steer; note where you sided with one referee and why.
Draft the response letter
- One point, one response. Quote each comment, then give your response and point to the exact change (section, table number, new analysis).
- Show the new evidence. For identification/measurement concerns, present the new table or diagnostic in the letter (or a response appendix), not just a promise.
- Be candid about limits. Where a concern cannot be fully resolved, say what the design can and cannot identify and add the scope condition to the paper.
- Respectful and specific. Thank referees, concede valid points, and defend with evidence — never dismiss.
Update the deliverables JAR requires
Re-run the data-and-code package so it regenerates all revised tables and figures from raw extracts; update the README for new screens, vintages, and analyses. Keep the manuscript double-anonymized and consistent (variable names, hypothesis labels, table numbers) after the revision. If this is a Registered Report Stage 2, confirm the analyses match the pre-approved Stage 1 protocol and explain any pre-specified deviations.
Checklist
- Revision analyses completed before drafting the response
- Editor's first-order concerns identified and resolved
- Each referee comment quoted with a specific, change-anchored response
- New identification/measurement evidence shown, not promised
- Conflicting referees reconciled per the editor's steer
- Data-and-code package regenerates all revised exhibits; README updated
- Manuscript still anonymized and internally consistent
- (If RR Stage 2) analyses match the approved Stage 1 protocol
Anti-patterns
- Writing the letter before doing the work.
- Treating all referees equally instead of following the editor's priorities.
- Promising robustness instead of showing it.
- Cosmetic responses to first-order identification concerns.
- Letting the posted code drift out of sync with the revised tables.
