jmf-rebuttal

separate

Use when writing the response to a Journal of Marriage and Family (JMF) revise-and-resubmit. JMF reviews are double-blind and most published papers go through at least one R&R, so the response must convert each anonymous reviewer while keeping the editor confident the revision converges. Structures the response letter; it does not fabricate new results.

When to use

• Planning the revision and response letter after an R&R decision
• Reconciling demands from disagreeing reviewers
• Responding to requests for analyses that change paper claims
• Writing the cover note to the editor summarizing the revision
• Structuring point-by-point responses to reviewer comments
• Addressing recurring family-science objections like selection and dyadic non-independence

When not to use

• Fabricating new results
