A JAAR R&R is a genuine opening at a journal that rejects ~90%. But the readers may come from very different corners of the study of religion (a textual scholar, a theorist, an ethnographer), and they will ask for different things. The response letter must answer each report on its own terms while keeping the argument and its broad significance intact — and the revision stays double-blind.
For each reader comment:
> [Quoted / paraphrased reader comment]
Response: [What we revised / why we respectfully disagree, with the scholarly reason].
Change: [Section/page where the revision appears].
Open with a brief note to the editor summarizing the main changes and how the revision preserves the article's broad significance; group by reader; end each entry with the change location.
【Editor's decisive points】addressed first? [list]
【Coverage】every reader comment answered? [Y/N]
【Concede vs reply】each tagged with scholarly reason + change location
【Cross-method conflicts】reconciled and explained to editor? [Y/N]
【Broad significance protected】not narrowed to a subfield? [Y/N]
【Anonymity + in-text citations intact】[Y/N]
【Next】resubmit via Manuscript Central
The comparative-offerings essay (from jaar-argument-development) earns an R&R. Reader A, a textual
historian, wants far more on the shrine's hagiographic sources; Reader B, a theorist, wants the
"transactional contract" claim grounded in gift theory and pressed harder. Satisfying both literally
would double the length and blur the argument.
jaar-theory-and-method).Hedged calibration: JAAR does not publish a fixed R&R word limit or a required response-letter template; the point-by-point convention and the "editor adjudicates" model here reflect common practice — confirm specific resubmission instructions against the editor's decision letter and the journal's current submission guidelines, and keep the revised main document anonymized (third-person self-cites, in-text author-date) on resubmission.
