cps-rebuttal

separate

Use when responding to a Comparative Political Studies (CPS) revise-and-resubmit decision — structuring the response letter to multiple anonymous reviewers and the editor. Plans the revision and response; it does not fabricate results or relitigate the decision.

When to use

• Responding to CPS revise-and-resubmit decisions
• Structuring response letters to anonymous reviewers and editors

• Updating replication packages and data availability statements

When not to use
