如何避审稿人的大斧

 ----一个编辑的建议

From Journal of Microelectromechanical Systems, Vol.12, No.3, June 2003

Editor’s Note: Stephen D. Senturia has been a member of the Board of Editors for IEEE/ASME JMEMS since the journal’s first issue in 1992 and was named a Senior Editor in 1998. This experience, coupled with his service from 1985–1995 as the Solid-State Sensors Editor for the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON ELECTRON DEVICES, adds up to 17 years in an editor’s chair. Over the years, Steve has kept mental notes on the myriad of problems that authors have with reviewers and has been inspired to compile the following “advice to the author” about ways to keep reviewers satisfied; hence, to keep them “at bay.”

编者按：Stephen D. Senturia 自ASME JMEMS （美国机械工程师协会微机电系统）电气和电子工程师协会1992年创刊以来，一直是该杂志编委会成员，并在1998年被任命为高级编辑。这些经历，加上从1985年至1995年作为IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON DEVICES Solid-State Sensors 的编辑，一共在编辑岗位上工作了17年，这些年中，Steven 总结了撰稿人给审稿人带来的大量的问题，因此，我们邀请他写了这篇“给作者的建议”，告诉作者怎样做才能使审核人满意，使他们无话可说。
Abstract—Based on his many years of experience, a JMEMS ed-itor provides guidelines for authors that will, if followed, greatly reduce the risk of a devastatingly negative result from the review process. The premise is that there are certain things that rightfully anger reviewers, and, once angered, the reviewers become both negative and aggressive in their judgments—hence, the imagery of “the reviewer’s axe” and how to avoid it.

摘要：在多年实践经验的基础上，这位JMEMS编辑给作者们提出了一引些建议。如果遵从这些建议，将大大降低论文在审稿过程中遭到拒绝的风险。前提是，文中确实有些问题惹恼了审稿人，他们一旦变得愤怒，他们在审稿中会变得消极和批判。作者将这比喻为“斧头”，并告诉人们如何避免这些情况的出现。
