R-and-R's

Revision

Please address the issues raised by each of your reviewers and make your manuscript revisions accordingly.

Along with your revisions to the manuscript, you should prepare an anonymous memorandum addressed to the editors and reviewers. This memo should be included at the top of the electronic file of your revised manuscript. The memo should address the concerns raised by the different reviewers and detail the changes made in the manuscript in response. Information that you do not care to make available to the reviewers should be included in the text "Comments to the Editors" box that is available when you submit the manuscript online.


Length

The revised version should not be any longer than the original submission using the same margins and font size. If you need additional space, you should consider putting nonessential or supplementary materials in an online appendix.    

Appendices

You are welcome to have an online appendix associated with your paper. The JOP will host online appendices for published articles. Any online appendices must be submitted as a separate file when your revised manuscript is resubmitted online to Editorial Manager. This allows reviewers of the final version of your manuscript to have access to it. Please note that every online-only appendix must be cited at some point in the text.    

Data and Replication Files

Note that authors of quantitative papers must submit their data and all associated replication files to the JOP's Dataverse. While it is not necessary to provide this information at the R-and-R stage, please note that this is a required step at the “Accept with Revisions” (i.e., “Conditional Accept”) stage.    

Submitting your Revision

When you have completed your revisions please log on to Editorial Manager as an author and upload the revised Anonymous Manuscript with the embedded memo to editors and reviewers and, if needed, a separate file with the (anonymous) online appendix. Do not upload an Author Identified version of the manuscript at this point.
