如何回复SCI投稿审稿人意见(精典语句整理) 如何回复SCI投稿审稿人意见
1.所有问题必须逐条回答。 2.尽量满足意见中需要补充的实验。
3.满足不了的也不要回避,说明不能做的合理理由。 4.审稿人推荐的文献一定要引用,并讨论透彻。
以下是本人对审稿人意见的回复一例,仅供参考。 续两点经验:
1. 最重要的是逐条回答,即使你答不了,也要老实交代;不要太狡猾,以至于耽误事;
2. 绝大部分实验是不要真追加的,除非你受到启发,而想改投另外高档杂志----因为你既然已经写成文章,从逻辑上肯定是一个完整的 “story” 了。
以上指国际杂志修稿。国内杂志太多,以至于稿源吃紧,基本没有退稿,所以你怎么修都是接受。
我的文章水平都不高,主要是没有明显的创新性,也很苦恼。但是除了开始几篇投在国内杂志外,其他都在国际杂志(也都是SCI)发表。以我了解的情况,我单位其他同志给国内杂志投稿,退稿的极少,只有一次被《某某科学进展》拒绝。究其原因,除了我上面说的,另外可能是我单位写稿子还是比较严肃,导师把关也比较严的缘故。
自我感觉总结(不一定对):
1)国内杂志审稿极慢(少数除外),但现在也有加快趋势;
2)国内杂志编辑人员认真负责的人不多,稿子寄去后,少则几个月,多则一年多没有任何消息;
3)国内杂志要求修改的稿子,如果你自己不修,他最后也给你发;
4)国外杂志要求补充实验的,我均以解释而过关,原因见少帖)。还因为:很少杂志编辑把你的修改稿再寄给当初审稿人的,除非审稿人特别请求。编辑不一定懂你的东西,他只是看到你认真修改,回答疑问了,也就接受了(当然高档杂志可能不是这样,我的经验只限定一般杂志(影响因子1-5)。 欢迎大家批评指正。 我常用的回复格式: Dear reviewer:
I am very grateful to your comments for the manuscript. According with your advice, we amended the relevant part in manuscript. Some of your questions were answered below. 1)
2)
....
引用审稿人推荐的文献的确是很重要的,要想办法和自己的文章有机地结合起来。
至于实验大部分都可以不用补做,关键是你要让审稿人明白你的文章的重点是什么,这个实验对你要强调的重点内容不是很必要,或者你现在所用的方法已经可以达到目的就行了。
最后要注意,审稿人也会犯错误,不仅仅是笔误也有专业知识上的错误,因为编辑找的审稿人未必是你这个领域的专家。只要自己是正确的就要坚持。在回复中委婉地表达一下你的意见,不过要注意商讨语气哦! 我得回复格式是这样的: Dear Professor xx:
Thank you very much for your letter dated xxx xx xxxx, and the referees’ reports. Based on your comment and request, we have made extensive modification on the original manuscript. Here, we attached revised manuscript in the formats of both PDF and MS word, for your approval. A document answering every question from the referees was also summarized and enclosed.
A revised manuscript with the correction sections red marked was attached as the supplemental material and for easy check/editing purpose.
Should you have any questions, please contact us without hesitate.
然后再附上Q/A,基本上嘱条回答,写的越多越好(老师语)。结果修改一次就接收了:)
