Chapter 793: Reviewer

Generally speaking, when a student publishes a paper, the corresponding author is his own instructor.
However, Professor Moriarty hesitated.
If he fills in his name in the correspondence author column, the benefits are obvious.
When the journal editor receives the manuscript and recognizes his character, he may greet the reviewer in private, and it is easier for Joanne to pass the review.
The problem is that he did not participate in Joan's research on arachnids in the dark areas.
By listing yourself as the corresponding author of the thesis, there is a suspicion of stealing student achievements.
If he didn’t sign, and the corresponding author and one of the works were Joan himself, then this paper would be a bit dangerous.
Neither the editor of the journal nor the reviewers can recognize the name "Joan Vida" as an unknown soldier. Some things are more difficult.
Professor Moriart hesitated for a long time, and finally made a bold decision-fill in the name of the correspondent in the column of correspondence author, Joan.
"It's not a bad thing to teach the cruel reality of the academic circle early."
Joan didn't understand what the tutor meant, but he was a little uneasy.
This time, I received a reply three days after submission.
Squeezing the thin envelope, Joan secretly relieved.
There is no original manuscript, and it is not a rejection letter.
Opening the envelope, there is only a notice of routine business, telling him that the submitted paper has entered the review process, please be patient.
The results of the review will be notified by the editorial department.
This letter made Joan mixed.
He was relieved not to be rejected again.
But the reviewer's level is probably more sad than the editor's level, and there is still the possibility of being killed.
This ups and downs entangled Qiao An for two weeks, and finally received a second letter from the editorial department of the journal.
The three reviewers have similar attitudes towards his paper. In simple terms, there are more criticisms than affirmations.
The conclusion is to review after revision.
With the bottom of his first rejection, Qiao An has seen the critics' criticisms, but although he has also been hit, his mentality is much calmer.
At the very least, there is no feeling of wanting to die.
Now he just wanted to find a wall and use his head to test the impact resistance of the wall.
Joan didn't really hit the wall.
Slightly sorting out the broken self-esteem, Joan took the reply and went to the lab to find a tutor to complain.
The result was beyond his expectations. Professor Moriarty read the opinions of the reviewers. Instead of being angry, he laughed happily.
"Teacher, what's so great about this?"
Joan is very puzzled.
"Of course happy for you."
Professor Moriarty smiled and patted Joan on the shoulder.
"My dear student, it's time to say congratulations to you."
"Aren't you kidding me?" Qiao An surprisedly pointed at the stationery. "Isn't this a rejection letter?"
"Yes, but not exactly."
Professor Moriarty explained to him patiently.
"Reviewers' comments are for you to revise the paper with reference to their suggestions, and then post again. After they read it, if they think there are no other problems, they will agree to publish it."
"This is not the difference between suspended sentence and capital punishment compared with rejection?" Qiao An spitted.
"A probation is better than a death sentence, and judging from the attitude of the reviewers, you will probably not die this time."
Professor Moriarty comforted with a smile.
"You will know in the future. It is normal for students like you, including young scholars, to have their papers reviewed and revised by reviewers. It is normal for everyone to come here, with few exceptions."
"But can it really be published after the revision?"
Joan was pessimistic.
"Not necessarily, sometimes it's enough to change it once, sometimes it's still impossible to get back and change it three or four times. It can torture people to death. The key is to look at the reviewer's attitude."
Professor Moriarty flicked the letter paper, his face determined.
"I have also served as a reviewer for core journals. From my experience, these three reviewers are still very optimistic about you, but the old guys are proud and always pick out some bones in the eggs. It’s easy to refuse to praise young people. With one or two words, you’re already proud of you.

"In short, if there is no accident, you only need to modify this time to pass the level!"
The mentor's encouragement gave Joan some comfort.
In the following time, according to the suggestions made by the three reviewers, under the guidance of Professor Moriarty, he worked hard to revise his thesis.
The next morning, Qiao An presented the revised manuscript to the tutor for review.
After seeing it, Professor Moriarty said that he will definitely pass this time.
Joanne himself was somewhat lacking in confidence, and even suspected that the energy he spent to modify the paper was purely useless.
In his opinion, the suggestions made by the reviewers cannot be said to be bad, but most of them are small problems that are not painful and itchy.
Even if you modify it completely in accordance with the reviewers' opinions, you can't essentially upgrade the grade of a paper.
If the editorial department of Austrian Law Review refused to publish his paper before, because the level of the paper does not meet the requirements of the journal, will the publication standard be met after the revision?
Joan was deeply skeptical.
In his view, a truly high-level paper is a high-level one from the beginning, not by revision.
If an article relies on minor revisions and supplements to reach the publication standard, it can only be said that the level is still not high enough, it is nothing more than to hover around the "pass line".
Whether such a paper can be published in the end does not really depend on how many times the author repeatedly revises it. It depends largely on the mood of the journal editor and reviewer.
With such a thought, Joan couldn't help feeling dull.
"Instructor, after this revision, if the paper is returned, then forget it."
"What does "even forget" mean?"
Professor Moriarty looked at Joan in surprise.
"In other words, if I were returned again, I would lock the manuscript in the drawer and no longer seek to publish it."
Joan feared that the instructor mistakenly thought he was arrogant and gave up and quickly explained.
"I wrote this paper. The original purpose was not to publish it publicly, to gain reputation, but to sort out my notes during the expedition and make a summary of the knowledge and insights gained during the expedition."
"The paper is written, no matter what the quality is, my original goal has been achieved."
"It's good to be able to publish and get the approval of others. If it can't be published, it means that my knowledge accumulation and research capabilities are still lacking."
"Revising a low-level article repeatedly is like chewing unnutritious food repeatedly. Rather than wasting time and energy, it is better to learn more valuable things to enrich yourself and improve your academic level."
"When the academic level is raised to a certain height in the future, I will try to write a better paper."
"If my thesis level is high enough, even if someone wants to pick a bone out of the egg, it can't be picked out."
