一些英文审稿意见的模板
最近在审一篇英文稿,
第一次做这个工作,
还有点不知如何表达。
幸亏遇上我的
处女审稿,
我想不会枪毙它的,给他一个
major
revision
后接收吧。呵呵
网上找来一些零碎的资料参考参
考。
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
1
、目标和结果不清晰。
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 structure so that the
goals and results of the study are clear to the
reader.
2
、未解释研究方法或解释不充分。
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
、对于研究设计的
rationale:
Also, there are
few explanations of the rationale for the study
design.
4
、夸张地陈述结论
/
夸大成果
/
不严谨:
The conclusions are overstated. For
example, the study did not show if the side
effects from initial copper burst can
be avoid with the polymer formulation.
5
、对
hypothesis
的清晰界定:
A hypothesis needs to be presented
。
6
、对某个概念或工具使用的
rationale/
定义概念:
What was the rationale for the film/SBF
volume ratio
7
、对研究问题的定义:
Try to set the problem discussed in
this paper in more clear, write one section to
define the problem
8
、如何凸现原创性以及如何充分地写
literature review:
The topic
is novel but the application proposed is not so
novel.
9
、对
claim,
如
A
>
B
的证明,
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
、严谨度问题:
MNQ is easier than the primitive PNQS,
how to prove that.
11
、格式(重视程度):
In addition, the list of references is
not in our style. It is close but
not
completely correct. I have attached a pdf file
with

with a
number of different methods and in a variety of
forms. This manuscript does
not bring
any new knowledge or data on materials property
and therefore only
contribution maybe
in novel preparation method, still this point is
not elaborated
properly
(
see Remark
1
)
. Presentation and
writing is rather poor; there are
several statements not supported with
data (for somesee Remarks 2) and even
someflaws (see Remark 3). For these
reasons I suggest to reject paper in
the present form.
1.
The
paper describes a new method for preparation of
XXXX, but:
- the new method has to be
compared with other methods for preparation of
XXXXpowders (INTRODUCTION - literature
data, RESULTS AND DISCUSSION -
discussion),
(
通常的
写作格式,审稿人实际上很在意的
)
- it has to be described
why this method is better or different from other
methods,
(INTRODUCTION - literature
data, RESULTS AND DISCUSSION - discussion),
- it has to be added in the manuscript
what kind of XXXXXXby other methods
compared to this novel one
(INTRODUCTION - literature data, RESULTS AND
DISCUSSION - discussion),
-
it has to be outlined what is the benefit of this
method (ABSTRACT, RESULTS AND
DISCUSSION, CONCLUSIONS).

2.

XXXauthors
- state that XXXXX
- state that XXXX
- This
usually happens with increasing sintering time,
but are there any data to
present,
density, particle size

很多人用
XRD
结果图放上去就什么都不管了,这是不应该的
)

Dear
editor:
Thank you for inviting meto
evaluate the article titled

. In this
paper, the authors investigated the
influences of sintering condition on the crystal
structure and XXXXXX
,
However, it is
difficult for us to understand the manuscript
because of poor English being used.
The text is not well arranged and the
logic is not clear. Except English writing, there
are many mistakes in the manuscript and
the experimental results don't show good
and new results. So I recommend to you
that this manuscript can not be accepted.
The following are the questions and
some mistakes in this manuscript:
(看看总体
评价,不达标,很多人被这样郁闷了,当然审稿人也有他的道理)
1.
TheXXXXXXX. However, this
kind material had been investigated since 1997 as
mentioned in the author's manuscript,
and similar works had been published in
similar journals. What are the novel
findings in the present work The synthesis
method and luminescence properties
reported in this manuscript didn't supply
enough evidence to support the prime
novelty statement.
(这位作者好猛,竟然翻出自己
1997
年的中文文章翻译了一边就敢投国际知名
杂志,而且
没有新的创新!
朋友们也看到了,一稿多发,中文,英文双版发表在网络时代太难了,运气不好
< br>
审稿人也是国
人,
敢情曾经看过你的文章,
所以必死无疑,
这位作者老兄就命运
差了,刚好被审
稿人看
见,所以毫无疑问被拒,(呵呵,我
97

到这个文章,哈哈))
2.
In page 5, the author mentioned that:
describes the process when the powders
become ceramics. So, I think the word
didn't show obvious
difference between three
and 900 C.
(作者老兄做工作太不仔细了,虫子们可别犯啊)
3.
Also in the page X, the
author mentioned that:
XXX
。。。。。。。。。。
However,
the author didn't
supply the morphologies of particles at different
synthesizing
temperatures. What are the
experimental results or the references which
support the
author's conclusion that the XXXX
properties would be influenced by the particle
size
(作者仍在瞎说,
这个问题我也指出了,
不光我还是看着国人的份上让修改,
添
加很多东
西,说实话,文章看的很累很累)
4.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX However, to my
knowledge, after the milling, the particles
size will be decreased exactly, but how
and what to destroy the host structure
(虫子们自己注意)
5.
XXX on the vertical axis of the XRD
patterns was meaningless, because author
add several patterns in one figure. It
is obvious that these spectra are not measured
by ordinary methods.

对英文审稿意见的回复
作者:
海天奥博
一篇稿子从酝酿到成型历经
艰辛,投出去之后又是漫长的等待,好容易收到编辑的
回信,
得到
的往往又是审稿人不留情面的一顿狂批。这时候,如何有策略有技巧的
回复审稿人就显得尤为
重要。好的回复是文章被接
收的重要砝码,而不恰当的回复
轻则导致再次修改从而拖延发
稿时
间,重则导致文章被拒,前功尽弃。下面把我平
时总结的一些答复审稿人的策略和写回复信的
格式和技巧跟大家交流一下
。
首先,绝对服从编辑的意见。在审稿人给出各自的意见之后
,编辑一般不会再提出
自己的意
见。
但是,编辑一旦提出某些意见,就意味着他认为这是文章里的重大缺
< br>陷,至少是不合他的
口味。这时,我们唯一能够做的只能是服从。因为毕竟是人家
掌握着生杀予夺的大权。
第二,永远不要跟审稿人争执。跟审稿人起争执是非常不明智的一件事情。审稿人
意见如果正
确那就不用说了,直接照办就是。如果不
正确的话,也大可不必在回复
中冷嘲热讽,心平气和
的说明白就是了。大家都是青年人,血气方刚,被人拍了当
然不爽,被人错拍了就更不爽了。
尤其是一些名门正派里的弟子,看到一审
结果是
major
而不是
minor
本来就已经很不爽了,难
得抓住审稿人的尾巴,恨不得拖出来
< br>
打死。有次审稿,一个审稿人给的意见是增加两篇参考文
献(估计也就是审稿人自
己的文章啦),结果作者在回复中写到,
making a reference is not
charity
!看
到之后我当时就笑喷了,可以想象审稿人得被噎成什么样。正如大家所想的那样,
这篇稿子理所当然的被拒了,虽然后来经编辑调解改成了
major revision
,但毕竟
耽误的是作
者自己的时间不是?
第三,合理掌握修改和
argue
的分寸。
所谓修改就是对文章内容进行的修改和补充,
所谓
argue
< br>就是在回复信中对审稿人的答复。这其中大有文章可做,中心思想就是
容易改的照改,
不容易改的或者不想改的跟审稿人
argue
。对于语法、拼写错误、
某些词汇的更换、对某些公
式和图表做进一步解释等相对容易做
到的修改,一定要
一毫不差的根据审稿意见照做。而对于
p>
新意不足、创新性不够这类根本没法改的,
还有诸如跟算法
A
< br>,
B
,
C
,
D
做比较,
< br>补充大量
实验等短时间内根本没法完成的任务,
我们则要有理有据的
argue
。在
Argue
< br>的时候首先要
肯定审稿人说的很对,他提出
的方法也很好,但本文的重点是
blablabla
,跟他说的不是一回
事。然后为了表示
对审稿人的尊重,象征性的在文中加上一段这方面的
discussion
,这样既照
顾到了
审稿人的面子,编辑那也能交待的过去。
第四,聪明的掌握修改时间。拿到审稿意见,如果是
minor
,意见只有寥寥数行,
那当然会情不自禁的一蹴而就,一天甚至几小时搞定修改稿。这时候,问题在于要
不要马上投
回去了?我的意见是放一放,多
看一看,两个星期之后再投出去。这样
首先避免了由于大喜过
望而没能及时检查出的小毛病,还不会让编辑觉得你是在敷
衍他。如果结果是
major
p>
,建议至
少放一个月再投出去,显得比较郑重。
上面是一些一般性的答复审稿人的策略,在实际中的应用还需要大家见仁见智。下
面谈谈答复
信的写法。
写答复信的唯一目的是让编辑和审稿人一目了然的知道我们做了哪些修改。因此,
所有的格式
和写法都要围绕这一目的。一般来说可以把答
复信分成三部分,即
List of Actions,
Responses
to Editor, Responses to
Reviewers
。第一部分
List of Actions
的作用是简明扼要的列出所
有
修改的条目,让编辑和审稿人在第一时间对
修改量有个概念,同时它还充当着修改目录的作
用,详见下面的例子。剩下的两
部
分是分别对编辑和审稿人所做的答复,
格式可以一样,按照
“意见”
-
“
argue
”(如
< br>果有的话)-“修改”这样逐条进行。清楚醒目起见,可以用不同字
体分别标出,
比如“意见”用
italic
,
argue
”正常字体,“修改”用
bold
。下面举例说明
各
部分的写法和格式。
编辑意见:请在修改稿中用双倍行距。
