問題: 審稿人說我沒有根據建議修改,但我明明已經改了,該怎么辦?

問題描述
我收到編輯的郵件,郵件里面有審稿人的話:I regret to inform you that the authors failed to address the points I raised in my previous review of this manuscript; in this case, any further comments on this manuscript is pointless. 于是我回信詢問哪里沒有修改,因為我已經照審稿人的要求修改了論文內容,審稿人說作者沒有更新參考文獻清單,但我加了 3 個文獻來支持較舊的文獻。 審稿人原來的意見是這樣的:The references list needs to be updated. There are old references (1980s – 1990s) that can be replaced with more recent ones. Please see below a number of suggested recent papers that can replace old references. If the authors are not willing to omit old references at least can use them together with more recent ones. 在我加了 3 個文獻后,審稿人是這么說的:Unfortunately, the authors failed to update the reference list, and failed to respond to these comments. There are no changes on the manuscript. Authors should address any comments given by reviewers, in a point-to-point response; even if they do not want to consider the comments or suggestions from reviewers they must address their reasons for not considering these comments and suggestions. Given that there are no changes on the manuscript, and there is no point-to-point response from the authors, this review is pointless. Thank you for given me the opportunity to review this manuscript, I leave the final decision to you, since there is no response from the authors. 請告訴我該怎么辦?第一個審稿人的意見非常好,他建議直接接受。 抱歉我的說明有點長。

回答:

從你提供的信息看起來,雖然你做了修改,但并沒有體現在給審稿人的回復信中。一般收到審稿意見時,除了根據建議修改外,還要需要另外寫一封信,逐點回復每一個審稿意見,說明你是否同意,在論文的哪些地方做了相對應的修改,附上頁碼行數,或是高亮修改的部分。

所以,如果你已經加了 3 個文獻,那么你可以這么回復:

Reviewer 1

Comment?[意見編號]: The references list needs to be updated. There are old references (1980s–1990s) that can be replaced with more recent ones. Please see below a number of suggested recent papers that can replace old references. If the authors are not willing to omit old references at least can use them together with more recent ones

Response: I agree with the reviewer's suggestion that more recent references need to be added. I have therefore added 3 new references?[列出你新加的文獻]?in the reference list?[頁碼,文獻編號]?and have cited these sources on the following pages?[加上頁碼].

此外,可以再加上一句簡短的說明,告訴審稿人為什么你沒有加上他建議的所有參考文獻,或是你為什么沒有刪除舊有文獻的原因。

請盡快處理這件事,然后發給期刊編輯,說明你已經根據做了修改,但原先的回復信內容并不是很清楚,因此你重新準備了回復信,希望編輯能再給你一個機會消除這個誤會。
