审稿人@多位期刊编辑“曝光”稿件处理流程“潜规则”,赶紧收藏!( 三 )


Q8:我特想知道前期准备的时候文献检索方面有没有什么技巧?如何在很多不同水平的文献里搜索出适合自己的?平常都是怎样借鉴的呀?
A8:我强烈建议您在Web of Science和Scopus等期刊索引中练习使用搜索功能 。 构建信息检索词需要实践!请确保您引用了您所在领域中的最新研究成果 , 因为这是必不可少的内容 , 编辑部和审稿人将会在您论文中进行查找 。 这可能有助于过滤最近几年发表论文的搜索结果 , 尤其是在快速发展的领域 。
I would highly recommend practicing using the search functions within journal indexes such as Web of Science and Scopus. Constructing informative search terms can take practice! Make sure that you reference the most up-to-date work in your field as this is something that editors and reviewers will look for. It may help to filter your search results for the last few years of published articles, particularly in fast moving fields.
Q9:编辑会看重论文里的配图吗?一篇优秀的论文配图在编辑审稿中会占多大比重 , 会因为图做的难看而被拒稿么?
A9:写论文时 , 一定要重视图表 。 虽然图表不一定要“漂亮” , 但一定要清晰易懂 。 还要确保图表标题是详细的 , 没有使用缩略词 , 这样每个独立的图表都可以理解 。 我确实遇到过这种情况:审稿人因为无法理解图表而拒稿 。
Figures are definitely an important thing to consider when preparing your article. While they do not have to be “pretty”, they should always be clear and easy to understand. You should also ensure that your figure captions are detailed and free of acronyms so that each figure can be understood as a self- contained entity. I have definitely seen cases where reviewers have rejected articles because the figures could not be understood.
Q10:对于英文表达不好的投稿 , 评审专家对论文是什么感觉?同等质量的文章会因为英语水平差而拒稿吗?
A10:如果英语论文无法理解 , 我们有时会拒稿 , 尽管完美的英语并不重要 。 如果编辑部和审稿人能完全理解论文 , 那就更好了!一旦论文被接受 , 我们的制作编辑将对语言进行小的调整 。 我还是建议 , 在提交之前尽可能让英语母语者读一读您的论文 。
We will occasionally reject articles if the English cannot be understood, though perfect English is not important. Providing the Editors and reviewers can fully understand the article it should be fine! Our production editors will make small language adjustments once the article has been accepted. I’d always recommend getting a native English speaker to read your work prior to submission if possible.
Q11:期刊编辑如何看待已经在BioRvix,ChemRvix等预印本网站发表的手稿?是否会影响论文送审?
A11:它们是越来越重要的期刊文章来源 。 大多数期刊现在都接受预印本(尽管以前不是这样) , 许多期刊也会在PubSure这样的平台上积极寻找 , 把所有的预印本编入索引 , 并向相关期刊的编辑展示 (https://pub-sure.com) 。
They are increasingly important sources of manus for journals. Most journals accept preprints now (although that wasn’t always the case) and many proactively look on platforms like PubSure, which index all preprints and showcase them to editors of relevant journals (https://pub-sure.com) 。
