很多同学在论文投稿收到审稿意见后很恐慌，生怕自己一个不小心就阻碍论文的顺利发表。摆正心态！威廉斯塔福德诺布尔的《答复审稿人的10条简易法则》中提到：审稿过程能让你获得同领域多位专家的建议，可以大大改进你的内容。这对你的研究来说是百利无一害的！

而且，经过多轮同行评审的论文容易获得更多引用。

因此，大家应该把它当作一件和大牛们沟通的好事，不要当作别人给你稿件提意见的「坏事」。

为了更好的沟通，可以参考以下建议和回复模板：

一、五步法有效回复论文审稿意见

Step-01: 万能开头，礼貌谦和

在回复的第一步时要写几句感谢的话保持态度端正有礼貌，感谢审稿专家审阅稿件花费的时间和精力，感谢审稿专家和编辑的建议，表明这些建议对文章质量的提升至关重要，感谢编辑部的辛勤付出。再大概说明对文章进行了哪些修改，关键性问题可以高亮处理，如下图

Dear reviewer:

Thank you for your decision and constructive comments on my manuscript. We have carefully considered the suggestion of Reviewer and make some changes. We have tried our best to improve and made some changes in the manuscript.

The yellow part that has been revised according to your comments. Revision notes, point-to-point, are given as follows:

Step-02: 逐条回答，不可遗漏

面对审稿意见我们要逐一进行回复，详细说明修改原因，如何修改，具体在论文里修改了哪里，修改的地方可以视情况在原文中使用高亮、审阅模式、批注等进行标记。

回答格式建议为：「审稿人意见原文+感谢审稿人意见+回答内容。」

The title is too long, I suggest shortening. Modified throughout the text according to the comment (Line 20, page 1).

Thank you for the title suggested. The precedent version of the title has been replaced, becoming... Line 25, page 1… Modified throughout the text according to the comment (Line 20, page 1).

回复小技巧：
1、揪语言：感谢-致歉-已改正-已润色
2、审稿人明显没看懂：是我们表达不够清晰准确造成误解
3、审稿人提问目前无人能回答时：已进行…尝试寻找答案，后续会…探索
4、审稿人让补实验没法做到：评估后无法做到-目前结果可支撑观点-后续论文会补充实验

使用不同排版方式来区分审稿人的意见、你的回应和你所做的修改。就是说，你可以逐条拷入审稿人意见（用一种字体），紧接着用另外的字体写下你的回应，以及你如何做的修改。

Step-03: 语言问题，必须修改

审稿人长期进行审稿，对语言用词比较熟悉和关注，审稿人如果对你的语言提出的修改意见，一定要仔细润色，如果自己英语水平不好，务必要找专业人士帮忙润色。

回复时建议按照以下模版进行：

We apologize for the poor language of our manuscript. We worked on the manuscript for a long time and the repeated addition and removal of sentences and sections obviously led to poor readability. We have now worked on both language and readability and have also involved native English speakers for language corrections. We really hope that the flow and language level have been substantially improved.

Step-04: 不同意？给出理由

如果不同意审稿人的意见，在感谢审稿人意见之后，应该给出足够的理由和结果用以佐证。 而对于无法修改的内容，也要说明其中具体的原因，但是同时你也要表示出你为此做出了什么样的措施来弥补，或者说你的理由足够充分。

表达上可使用：

We politely disagree. / We respectfully disagree.婉转的表述不同意，或者We agree with you that...., however, ......

Step-05: 回复模版

以上 4 点是回复时需要重点注意的地方，把它们串联一下就是完整回复模版，如下：

Dear Editor XX and Reviewers,Thanks very much for taking your time to review this manuscript. I really appreciate all your comments and suggestions! Please find my itemized responses in below and my revisions/corrections in the re-submitted files.（基本上是套话）

Thanks again! 下面就开始回复文章的审稿意见了，一般首先是回复期刊编辑的整体意见：

SUGGESTIONS FROM EDITOR（注意这一段要把编辑原始的建议粘贴在这里，不能只有回应） Your response to the general comments from the editor 接下来是逐条回应审稿人的建议：

COMMENTS TO THE AUTHOR:
Reviewer #1: Response to the questions one by one
Reviewer #2: Response to the questions one by one

二、同意、反对审稿人建议该如何回复

1、当你同意审稿人建议时

这是最简单的情况。承认论文中存在的问题，并确认你已经做出修改即可。

示例:

• We thank the reviewer for pointing this out.
• We have revised.
• We have removed.
• We agree and have updated.
• We have fixed the error.
• This observation is correct.
• We have changed.
• We have made the change.
• The new sentence reads as follows.

2、当你不同意审稿人意见时

编辑回复时一定要注意措辞。首先，强调你对审稿人的建议表示赞同。然后再解释为什么没有做出修改。

示例:

• We agree with the reviewer that further elaborating on this point using new data would be helpful. However, we believe that expanding our dataset is neither feasible, given the costs involved, nor would significantly support our argument. For this reason, we chose not to make this change, but we added the following sentence to paragraph 3 in the discussion: “Though having a larger dataset would offer further insight…”.
  （ 我们同意审稿人的这条意见：在这一点上使用新数据进一步阐述会更有帮助。然而，我们认为，考虑到所涉及的成本，扩展我们的数据库既不可行，对我们的论点也不会有显著影响。出于这些原因，我们选择不做这个修改，但我们在讨论部分的第3段中添加了以下句子:“尽管使用更大的数据库将提供更深入的了解……”）

• We apologize if our original Figure 2 did not show…. We did not intend to…. We have modified the figure and hope that it is now clear that…. We believe that adding a new figure, as the reviewer suggested, would be unnecessary given that our new Figure 2 shows….
  （如果最初的图2没有显示清楚我们深表歉意，我们已修改了该图表，希望现在可以清楚地看到图表中的内容。我们认为，按照审稿人的建议，添加新图表是不必要的，因为我们已经对图2做出了修改。）

• We appreciate the reviewer’s insightful suggestion and agree that it would be useful to demonstrate that…; however, such an analysis is beyond the scope of our paper, which aims only to show that…. Nevertheless, we recognize this limitation should be mentioned in the paper, so we added the following sentence….
  （我们感谢审稿人的建议并同意证明以下几点很有用……；然而，这样的分析超出了本论文的范围，我们的目的只是想表明……但是，我们认识到这一局限性在论文中应该提到，所以我们增加了以下句子…...）总之，无论你同意还是不同意审稿人的建议，都要证明你理解他们的建议并认真对待他们所提出的建议。

3、当审稿人意见不一致时

当审稿者们给了你不一致的建议时，不要回答:“As another reviewer suggested the opposite, we didn’t change the text.（另一个审稿人的建议正好相反，所以我们没有修改文本。）”。

必须选择你所赞同的建议，然后向另一个审稿人证明你的选择。例如，你可以这样说，“As we received conflicting advice from another reviewer, we decided to make the change they suggested, because…. We hope this was the right decision. （我们从另一个审稿人那里收到了不一致的建议，我们决定按照他的建议来做修改，因为……，我们希望这是一个正确的决定。）”

三、回复意见模板

小编翻了翻自己以前写的回复信，虽然说每个人的情况不同，回复信肯定也都是千差万别的，但多多少少还是有一定模板性的，尤其是对于第一次遇到这种情况的研究生朋友们，可以先从模板开始熟悉一下此类回复信的大体内容和形式。

模板1：精简版本

Dear Editor XX and Reviewers,

下面就开始回复文章的审稿意见了，一般首先是回复期刊编辑的整体意见：

SUGGESTIONS FROM EDITOR（注意这一段要把编辑原始的建议粘贴在这里，不能只有回应）
Your response to the general comments from the editor 接下来是逐条回应审稿人的建议：

COMMENTS TO THE AUTHOR:
Reviewer #1: Response to the questions one by one

Dear Editor, Dear reviewers

Thank you for your letter dated February 22. We were pleased to know that our work was rated as potentially acceptable for publication in Journal, subject to adequate revision. We thank the reviewers for the time and effort that they have put into reviewing the previous version of the manuscript. Their suggestions have enabled us to improve our work. Based on the instructions provided in your letter, we uploaded the file of the revised manuscript. Accordingly, we have uploaded a copy of the original manuscript with all the changes highlighted by using the track changes mode in MS Word. Appended to this letter is our point-by-point response to the comments raised by the reviewers. The comments are reproduced and our responses are given directly afterward in a different color (red). We would like also to thank you for allowing us to resubmit a revised copy of the manuscript.

We hope that the revised manuscript is accepted for publication in the Journal of Mountain Science. Sincerely, XXXXXXX （同样是套话，这个模板写了这么长。。。
Reviewer 1： Comments to the Author

这个审稿人的意见分为两部分：

第一部分是一般性的评论和修改建议（多为比较大的问题）。

Here are the general comments from the reviewer... We thank the reviewer for the very interesting comment. In fact…

Regarding the suggestion about the methods, we changed this part…

Another issue on the methodological section is that... We are grateful for the suggestion. To be more clear and in accordance with the reviewer concerns, we have added a brief description as follows: “ 接下来是第二部分“小的建议”，也就是需要逐条回复的那种，一般是用词用句的修改。

Minor comments:

The title is too long, I suggest shortening. Modified throughout the text according to the comment (Line 20, page 1).Thank you for the title suggested. The precedent version of the title has been replaced, becoming... Line 25, page 1… Modified throughout the text according to the comment (Line 20, page 1).

Line 18, page 2… We have modified the sentence according to the previous comment (Line 30, page 2).
Line 33, page 3… Thank you for underlining this deficiency. This section was revised and modified according to the information showed in the work suggested by the reviewer (Line 41, page 3).
Line 59, page 5… This phrase was modified according to the comment (Line 30, page 5).
Lines 9-24, page 6… Thank you for the suggestion. We have added the information required as explained above (Lines 6-28, page 6).
Line 11, page 6… This sentence was rephrased according to the comment (Line 8, page 6).
Line 35, page 13: “exit section”->”outlet” (please check also throughout the text, e.g. at line 54, page 13) We have modified this expression throughout the text according to the comment.

三、在回复审稿人时常遇到的问题：

01 回复时间越快越好？

错！时间不可短，也不能超过 deadline。

首先太短显得草率。原则上，「mini revision」要一周后再回复，「major revision」，回复时间要三周以上。

如果遇到需要数据而你没有的，尽快安排实验或分析，无法按期完成，需要与老板商量斟酌是否需要先与杂志方联系推迟截稿日期。

02 如何优化回复信排版？

建议使用字体、颜色和缩进的变化来区分三种不同的元素：审稿人的意见、你对意见的回应以及你对稿件所做的修改。你可以在答复函的第一部分对这种区分方式进行交代。

03 结论先行，回复以“是”与“否”开始

对于每条评论，在可能情况下直接先回应“是”与“否”，再说明你是如何修改的或不修改的原因。

你的目标是向审稿人表明你认真对待了他们的意见，你应该迅速传达你对他们的评论的回应。接着你也可以提供一些背景信息支持你的回复。最后，请记住，在大多数情况下，审稿人都是善意的同事，他们自愿抽出时间帮助确保科学文献中报告的结果的有效性。

我们要正确对待并最大化利用审稿人的审稿意见，让其成为提升我们科研论文质量和未来研究能力的一种助力，而非「绊脚石」！
