,
对国外投稿能否成功很关键
,
一般投稿时的
Cover
Letter
并不是很重要
,
只要说明你稿件的研究方向及
创新点
,
并声明没有在
其他期刊发表过
.
最难写的就是
Revised
Manuscript
中的
Cover
Letter,
这将关系到
是否录用你
的稿件
,
或要进一步审稿
.
国外专家讲求的是精益求精
,
老外们对文章
都很严谨的
,
一个单词哪怕是一个介词的使用
都是很有考究的
,
因此会提出很多似
乎
对文章无关紧要的修改意见
,
但是这你要给予充分的重视

通过国外发表几篇文
章后

开始一直失败

但是我没有放
弃

通过总结现在将一些经验和大家分享

以免
大家走很多不必要的弯路

为了更好理解

Dear *****,
The review of
your manuscript, Thermal
Decomposition and Kinetics Studies on
1,
4-dinitropiperazine
(DNP),
submitted
to
Journal
of
Hazardous
Materials
has
been
completed.
The
reviewers
recommend
the
need
for
minor
revisions.
Please
revise
your manuscript according to the
reviewers' comments attached, and re-submit to me
your
revised
version
of
the
manuscript
including
an
itemized
response
to
each
reviewer's comments.
Please
submit
your
revised
submission
before
Jul
11,
2007.
I
will
then
begin
the
re-
review process.
Please
note
that
revised
manuscripts
will
be
sent
for
review
because
revising
a
manuscript does not automatically mean
it will be accepted for publication.
For your guidance,

make
sure
that
all
the
articles
in
your
references
have
titles
included.
The
Journal

When submitting your
revised manuscript, please ensure that you upload
the source
files
(e.g.
Word).
Uploading
a
PDF
file
at
this
stage
will
create
delays

be
finally
accepted
for
publication.
If
your
revised
submission
does
not
include the source
files, we will contact you to request them.
Once again, thank you for
your interest in Journal of Hazardous Materials.
Yours
sincerely,

Reviewers' comments:
Reviewer #1: The paper reports on the
thermal decomposition and kinetics of DNP.
It
is
a
welcome
addition
to
the
literature
and
appectable
for
publication
after
some
revision:
(i) Please provide large basis-set DFT
calculations to support the assignment of the IR
bands of DNP.
(ii) Please
assign ALL IR bands of Fig. 5
Reviewer
#2:
authors
have
carried
out
work
on
the
thermal
analysis
of
the
dinitropiperazine.
The
new
information
reported
in
the
paper
is
scanty.
The
large
amount
of data has been already reported by the several
researchers on the thermal
analysis of dinitropiperazine (See the
reference section of the paper and also reviewer
has done the scopus search). The only
new information reported in this paper is of the
T-Jump IR studies and DSC studies under
different pressures, which may adds on to
the existing scientific data base.
There is not much novelty in the reported work.
The Table 1 and figure 1
need to be deleted from the paper since it is
already well
reported in the
literature.
Table 2 and
figure 3 gives the same information. Authors are
requested to delete Table
2 and the
same information may be explained in the results
and discussion part of the
paper.
May i also kindly request
authors to update the literature survey till date
on DNP in
the introduction part of the
paper using Chemical abstracts on disk (CA on CD)
data
base.
The
quality and clarity of the figures in the paper
need to be improved.
English need to be improved.
The paper is recommended
for short communication after the minor revision.
Reviewer
#3:
The
paper
is
okay
in
terms
of
r,since
it
has
been
written
by
a
Chinese,
the
english
is
very
poor
and
as
such
requires
a
lot
of
corrections
and
editing by your team.
The authors have used ozawa and
Kissenger methods to find out activation
r,they have given data for activation
energy by ozawa method
only under 3.4
thermal decomposition kinetics).The data for Eo by
Kissenger methods
should
also be included in the paper.
