joc-rebuttal

separate

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.

When to use

• Revising a JoC manuscript after R&R
• Scoping revision before touching manuscript
• Resolving conflicting reviewer demands from different epistemologies
• Managing the 35-page cap
• Writing the cover memo to the Editor-in-Chief
• Mapping reviewers by paradigm
• Deciding comment resolution moves
• Brokering cross-paradigm conflicts

When not to use

• Fabricating new results
• Inventing data
• Full R&Rs for JoC Forum reply path
