如何拒绝审稿人不合理的要求

在回复审稿人意见的时候，诚恳的态度非常关键，最好可以附上一个新的cover letter。当你不同意审稿人的意见时，你可以说“Thank you for your We understand your concern about XXX However, because YYY To make this clearer we have changed ZZZ on page/line XX”首先站在审稿人的角度上去肯定审稿人的意见，然后客观的指出文章的原意，并且做出具体解释。从另一个角度来看，既然审稿人都理解错了，其他的读者更有可能，说明文章的表达还是需要改进的。建议对相关的句子重写，尽量表述得更加清晰。在这里我们也分享一些常见的回复审稿人模板供题主参考：当你同意审稿人意见时，可以这样写：Thank you for your We agree with your suggestion to XXX, because YYY We have made changes to ZZZ on page/line XX as you 回复重点要包括以下几项：Thank the reviewerSay that you agree and explain whyDescribe the changes you madeIndicate where you made the changes当你不同意或对审稿人意见持怀疑态度时，可以这样写：Thank you for your We understand your concern about XXX However, because YYY To make this clearer we have changed ZZZ on page/line XX另外还有一些常见的回复审稿人意见的表达形式，如：你心里想的： You just didn't understand what we wrote!实际写：Some statements that we made were slightly ambiguous; we have clarified the text你心里想的：That experiment would take forever!实际写：The suggested experiment is very interesting; however, we feel that it is beyond the scope of our study你心里想的：You didn’t even read what we wrote!实际写：We did not intend to indicate ‘XYZ’ and have therefore altered the text to specify ‘PQR’你心里想的：You are being too picky about grammar and formatting实际写：We apologize for the errors and have made the suggested changes
