A few months ago, I met the website of the Little wood worm, and I loved it from here. Every day is here, look at the bug friends published paper experience, experience, how to submit, how to review the comments of the draft person, there are enthusiastic friends to provide English contributions, reply to the reviewer template and so on, a lot of harvest. My first SCI can be successfully received, small Web site, there are many enthusiastic friends, gave me the most selfless and sincere help. Thank you all, I hope you can more sci paper, more high-level paper. Each novice, including me, if there are any problems, can be posted out, believe that many enthusiastic friends, will certainly help you, help you answer, provide advice. You will reap a lot. This is my first sci, affecting factor 1.0 or so. It may not be possible to talk about experience. I talk about the personal experience of their contributions, I hope to give you some help.
It took me almost 2 months to write it after I had finished the experiment. The boss does not understand English, only I am a person to write, modify. My english level is not bad, everything is difficult at the beginning, indeed the first is more painful, each sentence of English is self-elaboration, see whether smooth. Therefore, I downloaded more than 10 of the relevant literature, a cursory look, more than half of them are their senior and other school counterparts (domestic) published relevant English articles. Many of the English sentence patterns can be modified and used for reference. This time can be shortened. After deciding which journal to cast, start writing according to the journal format. Sometimes encountered in English do not understand how authentic translation, can be on the Chinese journal Network (CNKI) translation Assistant to find, translation, it will give someone else's expression, choose a oneself feel appropriate (this translation tool is good, probably everyone in use). This writing out of the English article at least foreigners can read, will not be a contribution, said "the paper is not a well written and hard to understand (translation proble?) "or" the major problem with this paper are concerned with 中文版 (grammar and sentence structures) "and so on. At least after the editor has read, I feel that your English expression is possible, can be a trial. This is the first step to success.
After you finish writing, print out, read, feel not a lot of problems. It was cast out in late May. The editorial department said it was received. Under review, and then waited. The periodical is still very fast. One months later, June 23 returned the comments, to overhaul. 2 Reviewers, one felt that my manuscript data to be processed, coupled with error analysis, and so on to agree to peer review. Another reviewer, very carefully, gave me many mistakes in English, and changed it very carefully. That line, that page, which word to delete, which word to add, temporal expression and so on, all with the red pen down. Like a governess, very seriously. And it's all free, so I'd like to thank him very much. Foreign reviewers, really too carefully, seriously, too good. He also raised a lot of questions, with more than 10. Look carefully, there are two or three still do not know how to answer, a question said one of my explanation mechanism is purely imagination or fantasy, to be deleted; One problem is that I have a problem with my explanation, and I can explain it from another point of view, asking me if I have done this test. And I do not understand the interpretation of this angle, and so on. In short, to overhaul, editing requirements for the best one months to send repairing manuscripts.
As the insect friend said, "If the editor gives you a chance to change, even if it's major Revision, his intentions are already obvious-he thinks your paper has merit and is inclined to hire." In other words, he would have rejected you if he didn't think your thesis was going to work. So, cherish the opportunity to modify. As long as you modify the opportunity, be sure to take it. "Like a wild dog, put this piece of meat firmly in place." "(Haha, very classic image.) ）
Personal first feeling bad explanation answer, first put on. Then is the summer vacation, has been thinking how to answer these questions, I would like to make a good change. Here I would like to thank the little wood insects and enthusiastic friends, they gave me a warm help. For example, the first reviewer of the comments, I use Origin as the curve of the error stick do not understand, is sent after the bug friends told me, thank them very much. Then on the small wood bug search about how to review the issue of the post of the person, a lot of, very useful. For example, "the core is how to modify your paper, answer the reviewer's questions, and in the reply letterhead tell the reviewer how you changed it according to his opinion, rather than just explaining it to the reviewer in the reply letterhead." Because your readers are not able to see your explanation, only you modify your paper to make your readers no longer in doubt "," the individual needs to do the following:
1, polite. In cover Lett, first of all, to the reviewer, to the editor to express gratitude;
2, Real. According to the comments, each point, points to reply, even minor changes, but also to explain, at the end of the sentence that your changes reflected in the first few pages of the paper, the first few lines; use such statements: According to reviewer ' s instructions......as suggested By the reviewer ... At least that makes you feel very respectful of the reviewer's opinion. ＂
That's what I did. For the first reviewer, the error analysis was carried out according to the requirement, and the error bar was added to the curve. For the second reviewer, he was very grateful, especially the grammatical aspects of the author's correction. Then there is the point-to-point response. The first problematic question, "interpretation is purely fanciful, to be deleted," is indeed a bad answer. is to listen to the reviewer's advice, delete, or rebuttal ah, I do not know. Speaking to the tutor, the tutor gave me a lot of help, this mechanism is how. How to explain and so on. Later on, I kept this explanation. Explain the mechanism again, write it in more detail, and re-add some graphics, so that's a good explanation. The second difficult question, may want me to explain from another angle, complements the experiment and so on, but is not good to answer ah, also does not understand this aspect experiment. I thanked him first, and then said that I had re-searched several documents, which they all explained in this perspective. I quoted these documents and revised my explanation. It was just the Olympics, and I watched the game again. After the overhaul, removed a lot of things, added a lot of explanatory expression. After a week's delay, the revised manuscript was not cast until September 1. Then there's a new round of under review!!
Maybe it's my first sci, and I have to wait for it to graduate. So, do not worry about their own worry, when sleeping sometimes are thinking will be hired ah, do not hire how to do ah, delayed 3 months, very anxious. The journal will give the news in one months. Therefore this week national day also does not go out to play, every day on the fuel tank to see the mail, on the periodical website to look at the state, several times a day. The day before yesterday was under review. Open the tank last night, the title is accept--journal of *******, too happy. Direct acceptance after overhaul.
Write so much, may be more verbose, or thank you for the help of the bug friends. I am very pleased if I can have some experience of your usefulness. I wish you a lot of paper for your worm friends.
