一些英文審稿意見及回復(fù)的模板;

1、一些英文審稿意見的模板最近在審一篇英文稿，第一次做這個工作，還有點不知如何表達。幸虧遇上我的處女審稿，我想不會槍斃它的，給他一個major revision后接收吧。呵呵網(wǎng)上找來一些零碎的資料參考參考。+1、目標(biāo)和結(jié)果不清晰。it is noted that your manuscript needs careful editing by someone with expertise in technical english editing paying particular attention to english grammar, spelling, and sentence struct

2、ure so that the goals and results of the study are clear to the reader.2、未解釋研究方法或解釋不充分。in general, there is a lack of explanation of replicates and statistical methods used in the study.furthermore, an explanation of why the authors did these various experiments should be provided.3、對于研究設(shè)計的rationale

3、:also, there are few explanations of the rationale for the study design.4、夸張地陳述結(jié)論/夸大成果/不嚴謹：the conclusions are overstated. for example, the study did not showif the side effects from initial copper burst can be avoid with the polymer formulation.5、對hypothesis的清晰界定：a hypothesis needs to be presented。

4、6、對某個概念或工具使用的rationale/定義概念：what was the rationale for the film/sbf volume ratio?7、對研究問題的定義：try to set the problem discussed in this paper in more clear,write one section to define the problem8、如何凸現(xiàn)原創(chuàng)性以及如何充分地寫literature review:the topic is novel but the application proposed is not so novel.9、對claim,

5、如ab的證明，verification:there is no experimental comparison of the algorithm with previously known work, so it is impossible to judge whether the algorithm is an improvement on previous work.10、嚴謹度問題：mnq is easier than the primitive pnqs, how to prove that.11、格式（重視程度）：in addition, the list of references

27、稿人不留情面的一頓狂批。這時候，如何有策略有技巧的回復(fù)審稿人就顯得尤為重要。好的回復(fù)是文章被接收的重要砝碼，而不恰當(dāng)?shù)幕貜?fù)輕則導(dǎo)致再次修改從而拖延發(fā)稿時間，重則導(dǎo)致文章被拒，前功盡棄。下面把我平時總結(jié)的一些答復(fù)審稿人的策略和寫回復(fù)信的格式和技巧跟大家交流一下。首先，絕對服從編輯的意見。在審稿人給出各自的意見之后，編輯一般不會再提出自己的意見。但是，編輯一旦提出某些意見，就意味著他認為這是文章里的重大缺陷，至少是不合他的口味。這時，我們唯一能夠做的只能是服從。因為畢竟是人家掌握著生殺予奪的大權(quán)。第二，永遠不要跟審稿人爭執(zhí)。跟審稿人起爭執(zhí)是非常不明智的一件事情。審稿人意見如果正確那就不用說了，直接

28、照辦就是。如果不正確的話，也大可不必在回復(fù)中冷嘲熱諷，心平氣和的說明白就是了。大家都是青年人，血氣方剛，被人拍了當(dāng)然不爽，被人錯拍了就更不爽了。尤其是一些名門正派里的弟子，看到一審結(jié)果是major而不是minor本來就已經(jīng)很不爽了，難得抓住審稿人的尾巴，恨不得拖出來打死。有次審稿，一個審稿人給的意見是增加兩篇參考文獻（估計也就是審稿人自己的文章啦），結(jié)果作者在回復(fù)中寫到，making a reference is not charity！看到之后我當(dāng)時就笑噴了，可以想象審稿人得被噎成什么樣。正如大家所想的那樣，這篇稿子理所當(dāng)然的被拒了，雖然后來經(jīng)編輯調(diào)解改成了major revision，但畢

29、竟耽誤的是作者自己的時間不是？第三，合理掌握修改和argue的分寸。所謂修改就是對文章內(nèi)容進行的修改和補充，所謂argue就是在回復(fù)信中對審稿人的答復(fù)。這其中大有文章可做，中心思想就是容易改的照改，不容易改的或者不想改的跟審稿人argue。對于語法、拼寫錯誤、某些詞匯的更換、對某些公式和圖表做進一步解釋等相對容易做到的修改，一定要一毫不差的根據(jù)審稿意見照做。而對于新意不足、創(chuàng)新性不夠這類根本沒法改的，還有諸如跟算法a，b，c，d做比較，補充大量實驗等短時間內(nèi)根本沒法完成的任務(wù)，我們則要有理有據(jù)的argue。在argue的時候首先要肯定審稿人說的很對，他提出的方法也很好，但本文的重點是blabl

30、abla，跟他說的不是一回事。然后為了表示對審稿人的尊重，象征性的在文中加上一段這方面的discussion，這樣既照顧到了審稿人的面子，編輯那也能交待的過去。第四，聰明的掌握修改時間。拿到審稿意見，如果是minor，意見只有寥寥數(shù)行，那當(dāng)然會情不自禁的一蹴而就，一天甚至幾小時搞定修改稿。這時候，問題在于要不要馬上投回去了？我的意見是放一放，多看一看，兩個星期之后再投出去。這樣首先避免了由于大喜過望而沒能及時檢查出的小毛病，還不會讓編輯覺得你是在敷衍他。如果結(jié)果是major，建議至少放一個月再投出去，顯得比較鄭重。上面是一些一般性的答復(fù)審稿人的策略，在實際中的應(yīng)用還需要大家見仁見智。下面談?wù)劥?/p>

31、復(fù)信的寫法。寫答復(fù)信的唯一目的是讓編輯和審稿人一目了然的知道我們做了哪些修改。因此，所有的格式和寫法都要圍繞這一目的。一般來說可以把答復(fù)信分成三部分，即list of actions, responses to editor, responses to reviewers。第一部分list of actions的作用是簡明扼要的列出所有修改的條目，讓編輯和審稿人在第一時間對修改量有個概念，同時它還充當(dāng)著修改目錄的作用，詳見下面的例子。剩下的兩部分是分別對編輯和審稿人所做的答復(fù)，格式可以一樣，按照“意見”“argue”（如果有的話）“修改”這樣逐條進行。清楚醒目起見，可以用不同字體分別標(biāo)出，比如

32、“意見”用italic，“argue”正常字體，“修改”用bold。下面舉例說明各部分的寫法和格式。編輯意見：請在修改稿中用雙倍行距。審稿人1：意見1：置疑文章的創(chuàng)新性，提出相似的工作已經(jīng)被a和b做過。意見2：算法表述不明確。意見3：對圖3的圖例應(yīng)做出解釋。審稿人2：意見1：圖2太小。意見2：第3頁有個錯別字。很顯然，根據(jù)上面的答復(fù)策略，我們準(zhǔn)備對除1號審稿人意見1之外的所有意見進行相應(yīng)改動，而對1.1采取argue為主的策略。答復(fù)如下：list of actionsloa1: the revised manuscript is double spaced.loa2: a discussion

33、 on novelty of this work and a comparison with a and b have been added in page 3.loa3: a paragraph has been added in page 5 to further explain the algorithm *.loa4: explanations of the legend of figure 3 have been added in page 7.loa5: figure 2 has been enlarged.loa6: all typos have been removed.=分頁

37、答復(fù)信的宗旨就是用最少的時間和工作量達到論文被接收的目的。這里權(quán)當(dāng)是拋磚引玉，希望和大家多多交流。/bbs/viewthread.php?tid=1493261sci投稿信件的一些套話(整理)一、投稿信1. dear dr. defendi ml:i am sending a manuscript entitled “” by which i should like to submit for possible publication in the journal of - .yours sincerely2. dear dr. a:enclosed is a m
