jms-rebuttal

Use when drafting the response-to-reviewers and revision for a Journal of Management Studies (JMS) R&R — turning a developmental, often multi-round decision letter into a point-by-point response that satisfies the handling editor. Drafts the rebuttal; it does not re-plan the review reading (jms-review-process) or rebuild the theory from scratch (jms-theory-development).

# Rebuttal Strategy (jms-rebuttal) ## When to trigger - A JMS R&R (major or minor) has arrived and you are drafting the response letter - Reviewers disagree and you must decide whom to follow without alienating the other - A reviewer demands a change that would weaken the paper and you need to push back gracefully - The contribution must be re-sharpened in response to "the theoretical contribution is unclear" - You are entering round 2+ and need to show the editor decisive progress ## The JMS rebuttal bar JMS review is **developmental and multi-round**, so the response letter is itself a piece of scholarship: it must be **respectful, point-by-point, and complete**, and it must convince the **handling editor** (not just placate reviewers) that the contribution is now clear and the rigor demands are met. The most consequential thread is almost always the **theoretical contribution** — center your response there, then handle method/analysis/framing/writing. ## Structure the response letter 1. **Opening to the editor.** Thank the editor and reviewers; state the *overall* change — how the contribution and paper have improved — in a short paragraph.

About this skill
What does the jms-rebuttal skill do?

Use when drafting the response-to-reviewers and revision for a Journal of Management Studies (JMS) R&R — turning a developmental, often multi-round decision letter into a point-by-point response that satisfies the handling editor. Drafts the rebuttal; it does not re-plan the review reading (jms-review-process) or rebuild the theory from scratch (jms-theory-development).

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill jms-rebuttal --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.

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.
