标题中的前半部分，我已经在另外一个博文中谈过（参见：治大国如烹小鲜，写论文如导大片），本文就谈后本半部分。谈恋爱和论文投稿（本文主要谈英文论文投稿）看起来是风马牛不相及的两个事情，但是两者都需要两情相悦，互相欣赏，两者还是许多相通之处的，下面就结合恋爱这件事，谈谈自己对论文投稿的“一忌两要”，但愿这个“一忌两要”，您看了之后等真正成为您论文投稿的“一剂良药”。

1.“忌早恋”：对于谈恋爱而言，早恋的危害，在知名作家肖复兴先生写的小说《早恋》已有深刻描述。未成年人过早谈恋爱可能会危害人的一生，同样的道理，一篇文章，其实很多情况下就相当于一个故事，故事还没有讲完，还不完整，还没有发育成熟，就由于种种原因（比如急着毕业、职称晋升等）仓促投出去，这样做的害处是很明显的，和早恋类似，有点自己作践自己，因为这样的稿件，投出去，往往都过不了编辑部内审这一关，现在象样点的SCI期刊都是先将投稿初步筛选一下，像这样明显不完整、有硬伤的稿件不经外审就直接据稿了。当然这样的稿件也许最终还是会在影响因子(impact factor, IF)很低的期刊上发表，这就像有些未成年少女早恋，少不更事失了身，最后草草把自己嫁给了一个自己不满意的男人。

2. “要门当户对”：此言一出，估计会惹板砖无数，认为我现在都什么年代了，还在提封建社会那一套，我所说的“门当户对”是指大致的门当户对，不但包括家庭条件，更包括自身条件。古今中外，甚至上朔至古埃及时代，一直以来都有各种版本的有关灰姑娘的故事（当然这也包括男版灰姑娘的故事，英语都是Cinderella）,

就是现在这个社会还有N多的靓女想嫁入豪门（当然也有不少男人也想入赘豪门）。对于科研人员而言，著名刊物Science、Nature等牛刊无疑就是“豪门”，多少人想将自己的稿件能嫁入这样的豪门。有这样的想法很正常，但是，问题是：我们投稿是否都要先往这些牛刊撞撞大运？！Science的现任主编（即：Dr.Bruce Alberts）曾经在中国访问时就曾公开说来自中国的稿件（指投向Science）的据稿率是最高的，说明有这种想法的人不是少数，现在我们国家一切都看IF的奖励政策，就更加加剧了许多人的灰姑娘的梦想，“有枣没枣来一杆”，先投一把再说，一般而言，高IF的期刊一般要首先由专业学术编辑对稿件进行初审，初审通过后，一般还要邀请至少两位（当然，有的只有一位，有的期刊则高达8位）审稿人外审，通过这样的专家评审，一篇明显很烂的文章想蒙混过关的很能性很小。一位有经验的科研人员对于的稿件是何水平，有几斤几两会有比较清楚的判断，比如他/她如果认为自己的文章大致是IF=5的水平，可能会先投稍微IF稍微高一些的期刊，比如6-8分的，最多不超过10分的，一般不会不自量力的去投Science、Nature。这就像江苏卫视《非诚勿扰》曾经的一位女嘉宾，其貌不扬、家境也很一般，却扬言月收入10万以下的男人免谈（这个收入即使是在发达国家也是高收入），除了被人耻笑，没有多大用处，这样自视甚高的男女嘉宾最后挑来挑去就成了剩男剩女，投稿也是如此，最后一路被拒（杯具）期间，可能别的研究组抢了先，发表了类似的论文，本来还可以发IF=5左右的期刊，结果不得不降价处理，最后蜗居在一个IF低的可怜的期刊上。所以，论文投稿，豪门梦适可而止。不然，下场可能会很惨。

3.“要培养感情”:“一见钟情”对于恋爱和投稿（比如主编看稿后直接接受了）都可能会发生，但是毕竟这种概率并不太高，谈恋爱更多的是一个培养、加深感情的过程。而投稿对于感情培养，虽然没有谈恋爱期间那么重要，但是也是值得重视的，这个培养贯穿于整个投稿的全过程，比如：初投稿时，稿件是否符合期刊的格式，期刊的投稿须知部分是否读了，一篇明显不符合期刊格式，稿件内容有许多明显错误的稿件是很容易让编辑上火的，觉得自己没被尊重，问题严重时，如上所述，直接被被拒了。另外，在稿件修回时，修回稿的回复信（即response letter）更是培养感情的一个绝佳机会（我不日将会有博文专门讨论这个话题），本文就不多谈了，总的原则是：要充分尊重编辑和审稿人。一个课题组如果经常在某个期刊发高质量的论文，建起了信誉，也和编辑/主编建立了感情，以后在该期刊发表论文就会越来越容易，这是一个良性循环的过程。再牛的作者，如果太“拽”了，也照样“杯具”。比如Nature的一个子刊(Nature Review系列)的编辑就曾发文谈到，有的作者在投稿的cover letter中想仗势欺人或者耍大牌，有的作者就写到：本文主要内容已在某个国际会议上交流时被某诺贝尔奖得主所肯定、赞赏（言外之意：诺贝尔奖得主都放话肯定了，你们看着办！），像这样的牛刊的编辑可不是吓大的（当然，哪个期刊的编辑都不是，照样还要经过常规的同行评审），人家见的诺贝尔奖得主多的去了，作者这种“拽”法，只能导致自己的稿件死的快！

总之：论文投稿至少要注意上述的“一忌两要”，最终才会进入婚姻的殿堂（论文发表）。也顺祝科学网的年轻网友恋爱、投稿两不误，爱情、事业双丰收！

Ｐ.S.上述三点的都还算不上大问题，我们知道，恋爱中的一个大忌是脚踏两只船（甚至N只），投稿同样的道理，好女不可多嫁，一稿也不可多投，这是严重学术不端行为，尽管在我国有许多人这么干，但在欧美可能会导致严重后果，就是在我

国，由于一稿多投被撤稿的也有不少案例了。所以希望刚入科研这条道的网友重视这一点。

回复要“周全”: SCI英文论文修回稿回复信常见问题和错误分

析精选

已有9642 次阅读 2011-4-25 01:58 |个人分类:论文写作|系统分类:论文交流|关键词:response letter, polite, detailed

本文可以说是我的另一博文的续篇（参见：写论文如导大片, 投论文如谈恋爱），在该文中，我提到：“在稿件修回时，修回稿的回复信（即response letter）更是培养感情的一个绝佳机会。”论文投出后，经过忐忑不安地（甚至有的作者是焦虑地）等待，如果幸运，就会有修回的机会，当然也有可能是杯具，但是直接接受的可能性非常的低（当然，极个别期刊如BBRC除外，参见我的另一博文）。恰好近期有机会审了一些来自国内的英文论文投稿，发现在修回稿的回复信有不少共同的问题，值得网友，尤其是新手注意，下面就response letter这个话题谈谈自己的一些看法。当然如果您已经有N篇SCI文章，下面的内容也许就不用浪费您时间了，对于SCI 老手而言，下述内容应该都是常识了。标题为何强调“周全”？先按下不表，文末您就会知道答案。现结合自己的经验和体会，分述如下：

1. “礼”不够：下面图片中的response letter的要点来自理文编辑网站，前面两点都是关于礼貌的，国际学术期刊的审稿人都是义务（无任何报酬）审稿的，人家辛辛苦苦审完稿，指出投稿的问题，自然会理所当然的会希望作者的肯定和感谢，这应该是起码的基本常识，我国又是N年的礼仪之邦，但是，我见过的相当多的论文修回回复信中没有看到对编辑/主编和审稿人有任何的感谢、感激的字眼。俗话说，“礼多人不怪”，这可以说是放之四海而皆准的真理，反过来说，礼少，人必怪！多说你个谢字，不花作者一个大子，于人于己都有利何乐而不为呢？惹得编辑/主编和审稿人不爽，那是想让自己的文章死的快！

２.回复信的开头要先写上文章的基本信息：如manuscript tracking number, title, author等，另外还要加上是投给哪个期刊的。

3.对编辑/主编的称呼：许多信的抬头是“Dear Editor”,这种通用的格式，会使编辑/主编感觉作者对自己不尊重，在文章修回后，处理的编辑/主编的名字肯定是已经知道的，所以此时应该称呼编辑的名字（姓即可），即：Dear Dr. xxx(the family na

me of the editor)。我自己曾经做过某SCI期刊的兼职编辑，对此有切身体会，我明明都注明自己的名字并是Ph.D.,但是不少作者还是称呼俺“Dear Editor”,当然作者的本意可能觉得这样是为了尊重编辑，但是，可以换位思考一下，如果您是王姓教授，别人不叫您王教授，只是称呼“教授”，您有何感？有的网友对此，不以为然，认为自己一直就是这样称呼的，文章也都发表了许多，当然，任何一位负责任的编辑/主编都不会因为这样的“小节”而据稿，但是，如果这样的“不拘小节”多了，也许…. (您懂得)。

4.回复信要详细：这一点非常重要，很多作者不知道这一点。那么回复信要详细到什么程度呢？基本原则是：所有的审稿人不用看修改稿，只需看回复信即可清楚了解作者几乎所有的修改。所修改过的内容，包括图表都要放到回复信中，如果关于文字修改太多，无法一一展示，也要举几个改动大的例子。即使有的审稿人的问题和另外一个审稿人的问题重复，也要分别回答，别怕回复信长，我就见过３０多页的回复信。另外审稿人的问题和作者的回答要显著区分开，比如用黑体等方式，总之，要让审稿人阅读方便、一目了然。当然也不能走向另外一个极端，认为是回复信越长越好，用超长的回复信将审稿人砸晕，我们写回复信不是为了挣按字数计算的稿费，说话也要到点子上，审稿人大都是忙人，东拉西扯很可能会误事。

5.要认真：有位牛人说“共/产／党最怕认真二字”，审稿人也最怕作者认真，最上火的大概就是作者粗心了。举个例子来说，审稿人要求作者更正某笔误或大小写等小问题，这类的问题往往不至一处，很可能文章的许多地方都需要做相应的修改，作者在回复信中说我们都做了修改，但是审稿人一看修改稿，发现还有不少没有改过来，试想，审稿人忙了一天了，晚上加班加点审修改稿，本来对作者蹩脚的英语已经整得一头火了，现在又看到作者如此粗心，当然会很不爽，另外作者这方面的粗心，很容易使审稿人造成这样一种印象：作者写个response letter都如此粗心，想必做实验也是如此，实验结果也就不可靠，所以，有人说态度决定一切，有一定道理，认真可能成就一篇文章，粗心几乎可以肯定会毁掉一篇文章。

综上所述，修回稿的回复信主要要注意：“礼”要周，修改的内容要“全”，简称“周全”。请问，您的回复信周全了吗？

P.S.另外，特别推荐一篇科学网有关response letter的出色博文，标题为：“如何回应审稿人的批评？”，博主为香港大学的金冬雁教授（这个名字，估计搞分子生物学的不知道的不多）

Comment from reviewer 1

The study has merit but the article needs to be edited/ revised with respect to English language, spelling and grammar. There are a number of obvious spelling (eg: line 208 radioactive, line 55: according, line 267: cross) and typographical errors and many sentences which are very difficult to interpret. For example: line 25/26 "this requires bac ter...” etc, does not make sense and I am unsure of what the author intends / means by this statement. There are many such examples in the text making it difficult to accurately follow the paper.

Answers:

The manuscript was carefully revised both in spelling and grammar. The changes were highlighted in the revised version.

怎样写好国外期刊修改稿的Cover_Letter

Cover Letter是一篇文章的外衣,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,我用我发的一篇文章作为例子来说明: 这里是期刊审稿人的修改意见: 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, reviewers' comments are appended below. On your Main Menu page is a folder entitled "Submissions Needing Revision". You will find your submission record there. Please ensure that the article conforms to the format of the Journal. In particular make sure that all the articles in your references have titles included.

We have revised the manuscript according to your kind advices and referee’s detailed suggestions. Enclosed please find the responses to the referees. We sincerely hope this manuscript will be finally acceptable to be published on XXX. Thank you very much for all your help and looking forward to hearing from you soon. Best regards Sincerely yours Dr. XXX Please find the following Response to the comments of referees: Response to the referee’s comments Referee A Comment 1: The titania material formed after calcining at 450 oC is not characterized. XRD of these calcined materials should be provided to understand the crystallinity and phase. Response: Thanks for the referee’s kind suggestion. According to his/her advices, X-ray diffractometry spectroscopy (XRD) of the calcined TiO2 film was given in Supporting Information (Figure S1) in this revised version. It illustrated that the hydrothermal synthesized TiO2 materials after calcining at 450 oC is entire anatase, which was confirmed by the X-ray diffractometer with Cu Kα radiation (Rigaku D/ max-2500). Comment 2: The authors must state the mechanical strength of these materials after the removal of PS by calcinations. Response: Thanks for the referee’s suggestion. By a scotch tape peel test, the TiO2 film can’t be stripped from the conducting glass substrate, which indicates that the mechanical strength of as-prepared composite film is strong enough for the fabrication of solar cell devices. The revised details can be found in Line 165-168, page 2. Referee B Comment 1: The microtube structure with the size of 500-800 nm cannot only scatter the visible light in the region of 500-800 nm, but also can scatter more efficiently the visible light in the region below 500 nm, and can scatter near infrared light. This point should be clarified in the main text. Response: Thanks for the referee’s kind advice. Just like what the referee said, the microtube network structure can scatter not only visible light but also near infrared light. We added this point in revised manuscript and the detailed revision can be found in Line 194-205, Page 2-3.

Case 1 Dear Editor, We would like to submit the enclosed manuscript entitled "GDNF Acutely Modulates Neuronal Excitability and A-type Potassium Channels in Midbrain Dopaminergic Neurons", which we wish to be considered for publication in Nature Neuroscience. GDNF has long been thought to be a potent neurotrophic factor for the survival of midbrain dopaminergic neurons, which are degenerated in Parkinson’s disease. In this paper, we report an unexpected, acute effect of GDNF on A-type potassium channels, leading to a potentiation of neuronal excitability, in the dopaminergic neurons in culture as well as in adult brain slices. Further, we show that GDNF regulates the K+ channels through a mechanism that involves activation of MAP kinase. Thus, this study has revealed, for the first time, an acute modulation of ion channels by GDNF. Our findings challenge the classic view of GDNF as a long-term survival factor for midbrain dopaminergic neurons, and suggest that the normal function of GDNF is to regulate neuronal excitability, and consequently dopamine release. These results may also have implications in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease. Due to a direct competition and conflict of interest, we request that Drs. XXX of Harvard Univ., and YY of Yale Univ. not be considered as reviewers. With thanks for your consideration, I am Sincerely yours, case2 Dear Editor, We would like to submit the enclosed manuscript entitled "Ca2+-binding protein frequenin mediates GDNF-induced potentiation of Ca2+ channels and transmitter release", which we wish to be considered for publication in Neuron. We believe that two aspects of this manuscript will make it interesting to general readers of Neuron. First, we report that GDNF has a long-term regulatory effect on neurotransmitter release at the neuromuscular synapses. This provides the first physiological evidence for a role of this new family of neurotrophic factors in functional synaptic transmission. Second, we show that the GDNF effect is mediated by enhancing the expression of the Ca2+-binding protein frequenin. Further, GDNF and frequenin facilitate synaptic transmission by enhancing Ca2+ channel activity, leading to an enhancement of Ca2+ influx. Thus, this study has identified, for the first time, a molecular target that mediates the long-term, synaptic action of a neurotrophic factor. Our findings may also have general implications in the cell biology of neurotransmitter release. 某杂志给出的标准Sample Cover Letter Case 3 Sample Cover Letter Dear Editor of the : Enclosed is a paper, entitled "Mobile Agents for Network Management."

四．我的论文生活 本人现在5篇SCI，两篇IEEE TRANSACTION/JOURNAL (regular) paper，两篇IF=1.2*，一篇IF=0.8*.一个专利，两个应用证明。还有5篇SCI在审，IF分别为2.3*，0.5*，0.5*，0.4*，0.4*。所以我自认为在博士期间做的还可以，再加上博士期间做了太多的秘书工作，同时接手的项目自己独立完成，还是我以前没有接触的领域，也是实验室没有接触过的领域，所以我自己对自己还是比较满意的。当然在理工同窗面前我是非常普通，甚至不入流的学生之一，不过我希望把我一点经验分享大家，如果对于学弟学妹有一点帮助，我就非常开心了，如果没有帮助也请各位大牛不要见笑。下面我介绍一下我写论文的经验。 打铁还需自身强啊。首先我们应该从我们自己本身着手。博士与本科和硕士相比都不同，而且是根本上意义的不同。打个比方，如果给大家一个问题，大家能够非常快速的解决，并利用各种方法。但是这种训练方式完全是自下而上的教育方式，一直到硕士戛然而止。博士突然让我们思维方式出现了一个转变，这是很难的。这种原因可能因为我们小学到硕士一直是按照我们自己的思维方式在培养，到了博士我们学习西方思维方式培养，而产生了极大的落差。 博士不会在告诉你，你需要解决什么样的具体问题，而是在于你是否能发现问题。我们一直的教育都是我们解决问题的能力，对于中国的学生，特别是在理工大学培养的学生，解决问题的能力绝对是非常强的，没有任何问题，但是缺少一双发现问题的眼睛。我们不善于自己提出问题和解决我们觉得陌生的问题，我们喜欢解决别人提出来的问题，使用别人提出的方法，按照别人的思路。不能说孰优孰劣，但是在现有的博士培养体系下我们是处于劣势的。郑强教授说得对，如果找不到与自己发现问题相关的参考文献，通常我们都对自己的发现先产生怀疑，极度的不自信。 我们需要在别人研究内容的基础上发现存在的问题。例如某个同学会说，某某领域已经做烂了，没有东西做了。但是我要告诉你，把你放着一个新的领域，你还是不行。因为不是没有问题，而是你没有发现问题。这个劣势在工科中尤为突出。这样我们在读某篇论文或者某位牛人的大作的时候，读完了直呼精彩，但是我们这个时候就需要考虑这篇论文的问题在哪里，有没有限制条件，我们能不能发现新的问题，在我们解决新的问题的时候也是我们有目的的资料收集的时候，也就是我们写论文的时候，发论文的时候了。不过需要强调的是，思路对也好，不对也好，方法对也好，不对也好，除了结果不同以外，其他都是一样的。过程都是痛苦的，甚至会因为发现自己是如此的无知而感到深深的惭愧和不能接受。 上面的论点对于大多数人来说，大而空，该不懂还是不懂，该写不出来还是写不出来，没有办法，这个就是思维的问题。那么上面从自身入手，我再给出从外界获取资源的方法。只有将二者结合才能达到最佳结果。 如何获取外界资源。我看论文的时候，会有很多问题，论文中很多观点我看不懂，而且这些观点在论文中没有任何的解释，让我摸不着头脑，所以我会给论文的通信作者写信咨询。我的经验是别给中国人写信。中国人不喜欢Share，只喜欢require。下面我附上一封我写信请教问题的模板。 Dear and respected Prof. *** I am very sorry for troubling you, but can I ask you a question relevant to your paper?
