如何回复SCI投稿同行评审意见

如何回复SCI投稿同行评审意见

  第三步 突出重点

  如果是会议投稿,评审专家可以需要审阅大量的回复,因此,需要把重要的观点放置在最前面,让评审专家一眼就能看到问题。

  例如:

  > The paper is a clever generalization of [Foo, 1989].

  This is an accurate summary.

  > And, Z is simply incorrect by the [some argument].

  It appears that there is a misunderstanding. We realize now that our presentation obscured some important facets of Z. The reviewer seems to think that Z is Z', and we would agree that Z' is incorrect.

  > However, I don't agree that X is novel.

  > I've seen it in [Foo, 1989].

  While [Foo, 1989] does contain a method for doing X in specific cases, we have generalized the method for *all* cases. Consider the following case:

  [motivating case]

  This case is beyond the limits of [Foo, 1989], while it is in scope for our technique. This is the key distinction in our work, and we discussed this in more detail in the related work on page 11.

  > Moreover, Y is trivial.

  While we agree that Y is *simple* once the construction is seen, we argue that it is not *trivial* to create this construction in the first place. If Y were trivial, we might have expected earlier work such as [3] and [4] to use it, yet they did not. Instead, they opted for a much more complicated partial solution.

  > But, I see the real contribution as W.

  We thank the reviewer for raising the point. We agree: W is a real contribution.

  > The paper is about [restatement of the abstract].

  The summary is accurate at a high-level, but misses some key details like A, B and C.

  > The main claimed contributions are:

  > 1. X

  > 2. Y

  > 3. Z

  Agreed.

  > The main claimed contributions are:

  > 1. X

  > 2. Y

  > 3. Z

  We concur.

  > In conclusion: strong accept.

  We agree.

  > In conclusion: strong reject.

  We respectfully disagree.

  第四步 精简

  如果回复有字数限制,或者多个审稿者的审稿意见之间有重复的内容,可以对回复内容进行精简。可以从最后的问题开始。

  例如:

  > The paper is a clever generalization of [Foo, 1989].

  This is an accurate summary.

  > And, Z is simply incorrect by the [some argument].

  It appears that there is a misunderstanding. We realize now that our presentation obscured some important facets of Z. The reviewer seems to think that Z is Z', and we would agree that Z' is incorrect.

  > However, I don't agree that X is novel.

  > I've seen it in [Foo, 1989].

  While [Foo, 1989] does contain a method for doing X in specific cases, we have generalized the method for *all* cases. Consider the following case:

  [motivating case]

  This case is beyond the limits of [Foo, 1989], while it is in scope for our technique. This is the key distinction in our work, and we discussed this in more detail in the related work on page 11.

  > Moreover, Y is trivial.

  While we agree that Y is *simple* once the construction is seen, we argue that it is not *trivial* to create this construction in the first place. If Y were trivial, we might have expected earlier work such as [3] and [4] to use it, yet they did not. Instead, they opted for a much more complicated partial solution.

  > But, I see the real contribution as W.

  We thank the reviewer for raising the point. We agree: W is a real contribution.

  > The paper is about [restatement of the abstract].

  The summary is accurate at a high-level, but misses some key details like A, B and C.

  第五步 润色

  现在,可以开始编辑一下回复了。

  如果是会议投稿,注意把审稿者所写的关于论文最简炼准确的摘要放在回复的最前面。因为会议开始之前,很多人并未读过论文,也不大可能想通读一下整个回复。但是,他们可能会对回复的第一段瞟上一眼。把摘要放在前面可以让他们对整个论文有个大体的印象。另外,不要吝啬添加一下「thank you」之类的客气话。

  在编辑回复之前,要站在审稿者的角度考虑问题。如果您是审稿者,对这样的回复满意不?

  例如:

  We thank the reviewers for the time and expertise

  they have invested in these reviews.

  > The paper is a clever generalization of [Foo, 1989].

  This is an accurate summary, and we'd like to amplify the recognition of W as an additional contribution of the work by reviewer 2.

  We'll reply to individual points below:

  > And, Z is simply incorrect by the [some argument].

  It appears that there is a misunderstanding. We realize now that our presentation obscured some important facets of Z. The reviewer seems to think that Z is Z', and we would agree that Z' is incorrect.

  > However, I don't agree that X is novel.

  > I've seen it in [Foo, 1989].

  While [Foo, 1989] does contain a method for doing X in specific cases, we have generalized the method for *all* cases. Consider the following case:

  [motivating case]

  This case is beyond the limits of [Foo, 1989], while it is in scope for our technique. This is the key distinction in our work, and we discussed this in more detail in the related work on page 11.

  > Moreover, Y is trivial.

  While we agree that Y is *simple* once the construction is seen, we argue that it is not *trivial* to create this construction in the first place. If Y were trivial, we might have expected earlier work such as [3] and [4] to use it, yet they did not. Instead, they opted for a much more complicated partial solution.

  > But, I see the real contribution as W.

  We thank the reviewer for raising the point. We agree: W is a real contribution.

  > The paper is about [restatement of the abstract].

  The summary is accurate at a high-level, but misses some key details like A, B and C.

  第六步 核对

  好了,SCI投稿评审意见回复完毕之后先放松一下,然后仔细核对核对,看看有无遗漏的问题,如无,然后提交回复吧。
