SSCI杂志被拒，但是不服，能否向Editor申述

我revise，并且resubmit
的意思是要你重新投稿，重新审稿，当然reject这一稿了

是楼上的这位同学的意思吗？一般被Reject的稿件是不会再马上投向同一个杂志的。即便投了，被拒的机会会更高。所以我质疑这个Reviewer为何不是要求major revise，而是直接Reject。

拒了就拒了，找找原因，修改修改，然后换一家期刊，就是这样。想那么多干什么，申诉成功的可能性基本为0。

3楼和4楼都是大牛。。。高水平SSCI一大把。。。

可能审稿人原本想让你R&R但是编辑倾向于拒稿。。没有必要申诉——与足球的点球或者越位判罚一样，总有争议，哪怕真的是误判，也没有改判的道理。

有这点时间说服他们不如好好修改说服其他期刊的审稿人。。

大概明白了。非常感谢！

Please do not try to argue with the editor. By doing this, you could successfully put your own self in a black namelist for that or even other journals.

As an editor of a rank B journal, I would tell you some plain facts:

1. To find proper reviewer(s) is one of most difficult tasks an editor is dealing with. Therefore, he or she would alway be thankful for someone accepting review invitaion.

2. To invite somebody as a reviewer implies that you put your trust in and rely on this guy's exptertise and academic virtue. Unless strong and undeniable evidence otherwise appears that proves this guy is unworthy, an editor would  trust him or her unconditionally.

3. Even so, the editor would be partly responsible for choosing a wrong guy. So, to argue with the editor, in fact, is to trigger his or her anger and frustration. You are actually taking fun out of what he or she is doing.

As for your case, I did not see any evidence that the reviewer was unworthy. What I saw is a sore loser, frankly speaking.

Therefore, it is usually meaningless trying to change the decision by the editor. Just move on. There are dozens of other B-ranked  journals. Do not play stupid by doing stupid and meaningless thing.

谢谢上面的匿名网友的留言，虽然sore loser的说法有些令人激动，不过观点还是很中肯的。我已经改投了杂志。另外，我也担任过被拒的这本杂志的Reviewer，不过我当时给了别人revise的机会。如果如夸克兄所说的那样，申辩的确是毫无意义的。有时只是觉得，来自中国本土的reviewer为什么不给自己的人更多的机会，而都是一棒子打死（事实上论证也不充分），而不是提供建议，给出improvement，revise的机会。我的另一篇已经被接受的SSCI论文的reviewer是不断给出意见，然后和我一起修改，感叹这样的reviewer的确是太少了。当然，希望我们自己能成为这样的具有正面意义的reviewer。

你应该见过大牌球星找裁判理论被追加黄牌甚至红牌罚下去的事情吧？so。。这是一样一样一样的。。何况你在学术界还不是大牌，对吧。。

再打个不恰当的比方，现在你要娶别人家闺女，老丈人不讲理，你怎么办？如果你去找老丈人申诉，哪怕你有理，最后会怎么样呢？

我就知道有人的稿子在reject后申诉后来成功了！不过不是SSCI，是SCI！
不过SCI申诉成功主要可能取决于作者对所做的实验（物理、化学、电学、通信、材料等）进行了重新描述！
