218 room.
Teacher Wei sat down at his desk, tapped the table with two fingers, and said in a deep voice:
"There are two news, one good news and one bad news."
Xu Qiu and Chen Wanqing looked at each other and did not answer.
He thought to himself, it wouldn't be the matter of the article, it means that the article of some of them is cold.
Fortunately, Teacher Wei did not let them struggle for too long, and continued:
"The articles you posted before, two comments came back one after the other this morning.
Xu Qiu’s article is basically no problem. The opinions given by the three reviewers are all positive, one suggestion is published directly, and the other two each raise some small questions.
But..."
Xu Qiu glanced at the senior sister, she looked pitiful, and apparently knew that her essay was too bad.
"Chen Wanqing, your opinion on the ternary blend system article, two minor changes, one does not agree to be published, and finally the editor suggests transferring to a new journal." Wei Xing thought:
"However, I have carefully read the comments given by the reviewer who suggested rejection, and he did not put forward any specific comments, but just thoughtlessly opposed it.
I think I can try to appeal to the editor and see if I can change the reviewer to review it again.
You don’t want to do the experiment today. First, get things done in the article. I have forwarded the relevant emails to your mailbox. "
"Ok."
The two nodded and left the office.
……
"My first article is really ill-fated. I didn't expect to submit to ACSAMI and be rejected again." Chen Wanqing said:
"Generally, if the reviewer's opinion is two positive and one negative, the editor will make small or big changes."
"Didn't it mean that you can appeal, and you can also transfer." Xu Qiu said.
"The probability of passing the appeal is not high, and the original verdict is usually maintained.
My article should be somewhere between publishable and non-publishable. The editor may have a new journal publication index requirement, so he suggested that we switch to the new journal.
After all, several major journal companies are also competitive, and they all want to keep manuscripts as much as possible.
The impact factor of the new journal that was just created this year will not be published until the Chinese Academy of Sciences gives out its JCR division, let alone when.
Articles published in journals that have not been partitioned are classified as SCI four districts by default, and cannot be used as graduation conditions. For students, it is no different from unpublished. "
"That's it." Xu Qiu said.
"Hey, I guess I'm going to change the format again. Both ACS and RSC have tried it. Only Weily is left." Chen Wanqing sighed.
"Senior sister, don't panic, maybe there will be a turnaround. Let's check Teacher Wei's email first." Xu Qiu comforted.
……
He opened the mailbox, and the top of the inbox was an email from Teacher Wei.
Fwd:requestforyourtoAdvancedElectronicMaterials(aelm.201234567)
Repost: The revision request of the article you submitted to AELM journal. (Document DOI number)
Xu Qiu is no longer unfamiliar with DOI. Its scientific name translation is "used to identify the content object in the digital environment", that is, the code used to identify the document.
This number is automatically generated when the article is submitted, and in most cases it corresponds to the document one-to-one.
If an article has been published but not included in the journal, and you want to cite this article, you can quote its DOI number.
In addition, enter the DOI number of the document in the website to find the corresponding document.
However, even if you search for documents, you can usually only see the title summary and a few picture previews.
Because the full text of the literature in most journals is paid to view the full text, and the annual fee is very expensive.
Schools, research institutes and other scientific research institutions will pay for mainstream journals so that teachers, students, and researchers can access the literature.
For journal companies, they have to charge contributors for the publication of articles, and other people have to pay them for reading the articles, and the reviewers they find are voluntary labor without compensation.
The periodical company is doing this kind of two-to-one fee-for-sale transaction, which has continued for two to three hundred years.
Periodical company is a genuine channel, and some people do document piracy, or it is called a document sharing platform, and the PDF version of the corresponding document can be downloaded directly by entering the DOI code.
……
The body of the email is the opinions of the editors and reviewers. There are many contents. Xu Qiu read it roughly.
It is preliminarily judged that two of the three reviewers are highly likely to be domestic, and the other is highly likely to be a foreigner, at least a scholar who has been doing scientific research abroad for a long time.
Reviewers are generally not public, so if you want to know who they are, you can only rely on guessing.
But reviewers can usually see the contributor’s information. Although there are options for anonymous delivery, most people will not use it.
The opinion given by the suspected foreigner is "recommendation for direct publication."
His comments are more casual, just like replying to a post on the forum.
has only a few dozen words, first a few simple comments, and finally "publishasitis" (recommended to publish directly)
Of course, some foreigners may start to praise you for doing a good job, but at the end, there is an inexplicable turning point:
"However, I don't think your work is suitable for publication in this journal."
even bluntly said, "This journal is too high for your work."
translates as, "Your work is not worthy of being published in this journal."
The comments given by the other two reviewers are minor changes. Their review comments are more templated and implicit:
First, I briefly summarized Xu Qiu’s work ~EbookFREE.me~ and other researchers who used flexible PEN substrates in the benchmark organic photovoltaic system,..."
is basically copying the abstract and conclusion of the paper and making changes.
said at the end "this is a good job, it would be better if you can refer to the following suggestions"
Then it is to list some of the questions in the article, which are easier to answer.
In addition, one of the reviewers also asked to cite several documents.
Generally, this kind of citations are the articles of the reviewers themselves or their research groups.
Xu Qiu used Gugou to mirror the documents and found the documents. As expected, they are all the same corresponding author, and the corresponding author's unit is in China.
No supplementary experiment is involved this time, so it is easier to modify the article. You only need to prepare the "reply" file and the revised text.
"Reply" documents, need to "reply" item by item in accordance with all the comments given by the reviewer.
After the revised text, highlight the revised place. Some journals also require a specific revised content document.
After everything is done, upload the two files to the designated website link.
The modification comments given by the editor are usually time-limited, usually ranging from two weeks to two months.
If you cannot submit the revised manuscript on time due to special circumstances, you need to explain the situation to the editor and ask him to reopen the website link.
……
In the evening, Xu Qiu and Chen Wanqing handed the revised article and the "response" file to Teacher Wei and uploaded the website.
Of course, the two are different in nature. One is a normal submission of modified versions, and the other is for appeals.
