决定审稿人有两种方法：期刊编辑挑选专家该期刊要求作者推荐审稿人期刊要求作者推荐审稿人的目的是希望能够加快审稿过程。一般来说，期刊文章只有2到3名审稿人执行同行评审。但是因为并非所有受邀审稿人都会回复或接受邀请，因此最好建议3到6名审稿人。以下是一些帮助选择审稿人的技巧：确定与您在同一领域发表过文章的作者，您文章的参考文献就是一个很好的着手点。使用搜索引擎检索数据库，查找近年来发表论文比较积极，并且最近在您的领域发表过论文的研究人员。确定那些具有高水平专业知识的资深研究人员，因为他们可能会提供更有价值的评审意见，有助于提高您的论文水平。可以使用网络科学数据库，根据发表的论文数量对作者进行排名，并确定谁是该领域最杰出的作者。避免推荐同事或主管作为潜在的审稿人，因为这可能会导致对您工作的偏见或偏袒。而且既使推荐了，期刊也不会选择他们。因为期刊有一定的指导方针，严格禁止来自同一机构或者同一研究小组的研究人员作为审稿人。试着推荐来自不同机构、不同相关领域以及不同国家的审稿人，而不是优先考虑自己国家的，这样可以确保您的工作具有全球视野。至于期刊是否会使用推荐的审稿人，这一点很难预测。作者也无法估计推荐的审稿人是否能够被邀请，或者他们是否接受了邀请。期刊的审稿人数据库会提醒这些潜在的审稿人是否有空，因此可能会出现期刊编辑没有从列表中选择被推荐的审稿人的情况。
论文投稿时一般要求附带一篇“Cover Letter”，好的“Cover Letter”不仅可以使文章锦上添花，更有可能直接决定论文是否被录用。本人切身体会，以已发表论文为例，现将其写法经验归纳如下：Dear Editor,We would like to submit the enclosed manuscript entitled "论文题目", which we wish to be considered for publication in 期刊名The work described has not been submitted elsewhere for publication, in whole or in part, and all the authors listed have approved the manuscript that is We believe that two aspects of this manuscript will make it interesting to general readers of First, 论文亮点Second, 论文亮点Thank you very much for your time and Sincerely yours,作者名注意点：论文亮点一定要简洁明了，一定要有创新，突出你的文章与其它已发表论文的区别。这是 Cover Letter 的主要内容。
1、 什么是cover letter？指的是投稿信2、cover letter的内容主要包括那些？应该简述所投稿件的核心内容、主要发现和意义，拟投期刊，对稿件处理有无特殊要求等（如“not to review” list）。另外，请附上主要作者的中文姓名、通讯地址、电话、传真和e-mail地址。此外有的杂志要求推荐几位审稿人及其联系方式。以及谁已经阅读过该文（当然是牛人）。我投的那个杂志是要求说明你论文研究的意义，以及与这个杂志的相关性，另外还有的可能要写明你没有一搞多投等。此外临床实验要求写明符合伦理学要求。3、 如何写cover letter？各个杂志的具体要求是不一样的，在杂志的guide for authors一般会有要求。如果没有具体的要求，大家可按照通用要求处理。4、常用模板：（1）Cover letterDear M ** The work described has not been submitted elsewhere for publication, in whole or in part, and all the authors listed have approved

Channels in Midbrain Dopaminergic Neurons", which we wish to be considered for publication in Nature NGDNF has long been thought to be a potent neurotrophic factor for the survival of midbrain dopaminergic neurons, which are degenerated in Parkinson’s In this paper, we report an unexpected, acute effect of GDNF on A-type potassium channels, leading to a potentiation of neuronal excitability, in the dopaminergic neurons in culture as well as in adult brain Further, we show that GDNF regulates the K+ channels through a mechanism that involves activation of MAP Thus, this study has revealed, for the first time, an acute modulation of ion channels by GDNF Our findings challenge the classic view of GDNF as a long-term survival factor for midbrain dopaminergic neurons, and suggest that the normal function of GDNF is to regulate neuronal excitability, and consequently dopamine These results may also have implications in the treatment of Parkinson’s Due to a direct competition and conflict of interest, we request that D XXX of Harvard U, and YY of Yale U not be considered as With thanks for your consideration, I amSincerely yours,（四）Dear **We would like to

by the phase speed of a Rossby mode According to the analysis result for the barotropic component of the atmosphere, we obtain a characteristic energy spectrum with distinct slopes for the turbulence and wave regimes separated by the spherical Rhines In order to explain the observational finding that the energy spectrum is proportional to c^2, we put forward a hypothesis based on the criterion of Rossby wave breaking such that the local meridional gradient of potential vorticity becomes negative, dq/dy < 0, somewhere in the With a constant m describing a total mass of the atmosphere for unit area, we have shown that the barotropic energy spectrum of the general circulation E can be represented as E=mc^Corresponding Author:D Hiroshi L TanakaDivision of Geoenvironmental SciencesUniversity

SCI论文投稿一般要先查找期刊的Guideline，按要求进行一步一步来．其中的一个重要步骤如下：同行审阅（PeerReview）你可以自己选择推荐或者排除审稿人。许多SCI期刊倾向于把这些决定留给作者自己，因为作者比编辑更清楚谁最有资格来评估你的工作。如果你附加上推荐审稿人的联系方式，是最好不过了。对于顾问编辑团队的期刊，你可以在里面选择相应的审稿人。记得千万不要推荐在你单位、部门或公司的研究者，即使他们与你不在同一地区。同样，朋友、共同第一作者（三年内）、合作者（提供给你实验材料等）也不在允许范围之内。对于排除审稿人，合适数量通常是2个左右，并分别简要写明排除的原因，例如财务支持上的竞争、观点上的偏见等。对于SCI期刊的编辑，他们通常在选择审稿人的时候也是通过PubMed的搜索，选择一些有审稿经验的，比较负责的，并且比较公正的同一领域研究学者。修改（Revision）通常情况下，如果文章不被拒收的话，期刊主编都会提出不同程度修改意见。如果编辑回复并特意列举了一些需要修改的地方，这就意味着这些是修改的重点。同时，也必须照顾到每个审稿人的意见。充分全面的回复修改意见是文章能被接收的前提，不要自己选择性地回复，这也是你对他们意见的重视程度的表现。除了这些意见，你必须同时在文章中的相应位置明确标注哪些是已经被修改过的。如果你确实不能满足审稿人的建议，你必须提供合理的原因来解释为什么这些修改在目前的情况下能以实现。虽然这些理由不一定总是有用，但编辑会慎重考虑你的解释。
一般来说，还是挺厉害的。SCI期刊编辑部，通常从已经发表过相关研究方向论文的作者及合作者中选择审稿人，作者需要认真回答审稿人的问题，否则很难录用。
国际期刊很多都是采用同行评议的方式来评估论文的科学性，这就是需要推荐审稿人的主要原因，大多刊物会要求作者推荐3-5位审稿人，对于期刊来说，审稿人的寻找其实并不容易，不少期刊还会因为找不到合适的审稿人延迟出刊，作者如果可以推荐合适的审稿人是可以减轻杂志社的压力的，从作者角度来说，推荐的审稿人是与自己有相同研究背景的专业人士，很多可能对作者的研究比较了解，甚至是相识的，很容易对文章作出积极肯定的评价，有利于发表。
推荐审稿人是指作者向杂志社推荐自己拟定的审稿人。很多期刊杂志社都可以由作者来推荐审稿人，当然，对于审稿人，杂志社都有具体的要求，比方说要求在该领域具有一定的话语权，要求审稿人具备正高以上的职称等等，只要符合了以上条件，作者是可以向杂志社进行推荐的。

选择自己研究领域内的人作为审稿人，可以从你参考文献的作者里找一找是否有合适的，如果你不能确定，可以和你的导师商量一下。JournalofAppliedPhysics上现在学术论文数量越来越多，杂志编辑在寻找审稿人的时候会遇到不少困难，这就要作者来推荐审稿人。
