curranthro-rebuttal

separate

Use when responding to a Current Anthropology (CA) decision OR writing the author's Reply to the published CA✩ Comments. CA has two distinct response tasks — a normal revise-and-resubmit letter to referees/editor before acceptance, and the public, signed Reply to invited commentators printed alongside an accepted Major Article. Structures both; it does not fabricate new evidence.

When to use

• responding to a Current Anthropology decision
• writing the author's Reply to published CA✩ Comments
• planning a revise-and-resubmit letter
• reconciling cross-subfield reviewers
• advancing the debate in public
• defending the core argument
• synthesizing comments by theme
• protecting interlocutors in public

When not to use

• fabricating new evidence
• treating the CA✩ Reply like a private R&R letter
• de-anonymizing or endangering interlocutors
• capitulating to requests that break the argument
• ignoring commentators from non-metropolitan traditions
