- An ETP major or minor R&R arrived and you must draft the response
ETP's review is developmental — an R&R is an invitation, and the editor and reviewers have invested in the paper's improvement. The winning posture is gracious, thorough, and responsive: take every point seriously, do the work where it is reasonable, and disagree only with evidence and a clear rationale. A defensive or selective response squanders the goodwill an R&R represents and is the most common way authors lose a winnable revision.
| Situation | ETP-appropriate move |
|---|---|
| Reviewers conflict | Follow the editor's signal; explain to both reviewers what you did and why, transparently, rather than quietly siding with one |
| A request you should resist | Disagree respectfully with evidence/logic; offer an alternative (e.g., a robustness check instead of a flawed re-specification); never just refuse |
| A request beyond feasibility | Do the feasible core; acknowledge the limit honestly and add it to limitations/future research rather than faking the analysis |
ETP R&Rs frequently push on (1) whether the mechanism is truly entrepreneurial and (2) whether the practice contribution is real. Treat both as first-order in the revision: if a reviewer said the theory "could be about any firm," your response must show the sharpened entrepreneurial mechanism (with the new text), not merely assert it. If the practice section was called generic, rewrite it to be mechanism-derived and actor-specific, and point to it in the letter. Winning the theory while leaving the practice mandate weak is a classic ETP miss.
A common failure is drafting the response letter first and reverse-engineering the manuscript to match it. Do the opposite, in this order:
This sequence is what makes a developmental R&R land: the editor and reviewers can verify, point by point, that their concerns produced concrete change.
R2 writes: "The mechanism could describe any organization; this isn't entrepreneurship theory." R3 writes: "Add a mediation analysis to prove the cognitive pathway." The editor's letter foregrounds R2 (the contribution premise) and treats R3 as secondary. A losing response argues with R2 ("we believe it is entrepreneurial") and bolts on R3's mediation. A winning ETP response: in the synthesis, lead by acknowledging R2 as the binding concern and summarize the rebuild — "we re-grounded the mechanism in the liability of newness, added a venture-formation boundary condition, and rewrote the practice section accordingly." Under R2.1, quote the new theory text and page. For R3, do the mediation if defensible; if the data cannot support a clean mediation test (a common entrepreneurship-data limit), say so transparently, offer a conditional-process robustness check as an alternative, and add the limit to future research — rather than reporting a fragile mediation that a methods reviewer will puncture next round.
