我的第一篇SCI投稿经历
在11年10月的时候基本上就构思完了,然后花了大概20天时间把文章写了出来,期间发给一个师兄看一下,他提出了很多修改意见,加了不少东西,改了不少时间,大概在12月的时候,文章差不多了,给老板发过去,老板又让改,然后就是讨论,修改,在讨论,在修改,差不多就到10年1月了(这个时间相当长啊,当时改的也很痛苦)……
总算在放假前把文章投出去了,是Applied Energy,但是不幸的事,我马上接到老板的电话,说是文章被退回来了(not in the scope of the journal),当时正在家过年,顿时感觉心情低落,后来就急忙回校了,重新找了个杂志,这次在3.15之前把文章投到了 Energy conversion and management,不过悲剧的事情再次发生,我把 cover letter弄错了,只改了个编辑名字,忘了把信中的杂志名给改回来了,三天后,收到主编的一封信,说是你既然已经投了那个杂志了,就不要投我们这个杂志了,我晕啊……期间老板正在出差,还专门打了个电话被我骂了一通,吐血啊……这种事都被我干出来了,我真的哭笑不得……
没办法,只能在找呗,这次比较快(有了前两次的经验),找了一个 International Journalof thermal Sciences,这次总算进入review状态了,也算点小安慰吧(前面波折太大啊),但是过了十几天,review的时间变了,我又担心受怕了,后来师兄告诉我一般是换了个审稿人(事实证明是这样的,所以review的时间改变一般是换审稿人了,因为我的审稿意见只有reviewer 1和3,缺了个2,估计3是后面找的,但是在5.15号,收到主编的信,说是我的生成版本有点问题,底色是蓝色,我晕,这关我什么事,我自己生成了一边我的文章给编辑发了过去,真是什么事都能被我碰上(其实,后来找到原因,是我的word有问题,生成的PDf是蓝色为底,但是在我的PDF浏览器中看不出来,又汗!!!),这样过去了一个半月,期间已经平静了。到7.4号的时候,收到审稿意见,意见为revise,后面的具体意见是 entire re-writing and re-reviewing,看到这个意见,心都死了一半啊……在小木虫上问了,这个状态是什么意思,大家都说是重新组织结构,大修中的大修,心哇凉哇凉的!但是没办法,还得改啊,大家告诉我有修改就有机会,我就抱着试试看的心态改了,回复意见就弄了17页(好像是在群内目前见到最多的),期间还找个英语润色公司修改了一下语言,这样一个月时间,我上传了修改稿大约是8.6号。
二审了,那是相当不淡定了,天天刷界面,希望得到好消息。一等又是三个月,真是晕啊。在12.15号左右又收到审稿意见了意见为revise,后面的具体意见还是 entire re-writing and re-reviewing,看到的评审意见有4页,第一个审稿人同意发表了,但是第三个审稿人(我感觉是换了个审稿人),这次发飙了(倒不是怒的意思),他把我文章中的表述他认为不当的地方一一标了出来了,小到一个单词(不得不赞人家审稿人的敬业精神),列了整整52条意见,你能想象我当时用鼠标中键下拉拉了好长时间还看不见结束的时候的那种心情吗?简直连死了的心都有了,不过仔细看了一下还好,主要是重复了第一次审稿的第三个审稿人的问题又问了一遍,但基本我感觉还是满意我们的回复意见的,这样我花了2个星期的时间修改。期间不止一次的诅咒那个英语修改公司,因为我几乎又把我的文章重新改了一遍(所以,如果可以还是自己改英语问题吧)。再次上传完12.30号,此时8个月已经过去了,何时才是个头啊
等待啊等待,但是没有想象中那么好,没在放假前收到审稿意见,但是在29夜的时候(2011.1.30)接到老板电话,说是审稿意见回来了,再一次修改,意见为revise,后面的具体意见*****还是 entire re-writing and re-reviewing,我老板说这个杂志主编不负责……不过这次明显好多了,第一个审稿人还是说接受,第三个审稿人说修改后接受,不过又提了30条审稿意见(牛吧),全是语言问题,他愣是帮我改句子,其实我感觉我写的也没问题(可能是不够地道吧,他把我句子的顺序改了一下),这次比较快,基本上10天左右,我就返回了(又一个新年没过好,唉……)
这次是真的平静了,也不去刷状态了,但是不经意间看了一下在2.28号,状态变了,变成了accept了,激动了,澎湃了。
这篇文章,真是把我摧残的很,有几次都想放弃了(心里想想而已),不过总的来说,结果还是好的,虽然过程是在太曲折了……
流水账啊说了这么多,总结一下:
1.不要太看重小修,大修,只要修改认真,还是有机会,
2.中间review时间改变不是什么坏事,只是内部的处理而已
