jcf-rebuttal
Use when preparing a revise-and-resubmit response for the Journal of Corporate Finance (JCF) — a point-by-point reply to two-or-more single-anonymized reviewers and the handling editor, reconciling divergent demands without over-claiming. It structures the response letter and revision plan; it does not run new analysis on its own.

# R&R Rebuttal (jcf-rebuttal) ## When to trigger - You received an R&R from JCF and must write the response letter - Two or more reviewers asked for **different or conflicting** things - You need to map each comment to a concrete revision ## How JCF R&R works JCF review is **single anonymized** with a **minimum of two reviewers**, so you typically face **two independent sets of demands** plus the editor's priorities. Reviewers see your identity; the editor decides whether the revision clears the bar.

Flag any request you respectfully decline and why. 2. **Per-reviewer sections**: restate each comment **verbatim**, then your response, then the **exact change** (section/table/page). 3. **Reconcile conflicts**: when reviewers disagree, state the trade-off, choose a defensible path, and show both robustness results where feasible. ## Revision discipline - [ ] Every comment has a numbered, traceable response - [ ] New analyses are added as **robustness**, not a redesign th

Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills, a repository with 909 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
