最近有一篇文章在網(wǎng)上廣為流傳，題目叫做：How to Write a Response to Reviewers in Ten Easy Steps【1】闯团。聽起來是不是有點(diǎn)像plos computational biology所搞的ten simple rules的活動(dòng)（那里正好有一篇類似的文章在17年發(fā)表【2】）辛臊？其實(shí)，這里要說的“回復(fù)審稿人的十大簡(jiǎn)單步驟”房交，來自Richard Lenski所寫的一篇博客彻舰。
Lenski的鼎鼎大名對(duì)于不少人來說想必都耳熟能詳。這位來自密歇根州立大學(xué)（Michigan State University）的生物學(xué)教授當(dāng)年憑橫跨30年之久的大腸桿菌5萬代的進(jìn)化實(shí)驗(yàn)極大沖擊了人們對(duì)于微生物進(jìn)化的認(rèn)識(shí)候味，也一舉奠定了自己的江湖地位【3】刃唤。
Lenski在這篇博文中一上來就提到主要針對(duì)年輕的科研工作者，所謂ECR（early career researcher）白群，且可能對(duì)手稿收到整體正面評(píng)價(jià)但仍需要revision的情況最為適用尚胞。讓我們逐條看看（限主要部分，全文請(qǐng)參考文末鏈接）帜慢。
Lenski：Copy all ofthe reviewers’ comments into a new document
翻譯：先把所有審稿意見拷貝到一個(gè)新的文檔里笼裳。
小編：嗯唯卖，看著方便、清楚侍咱。我也是這么做的耐床。
[if !supportLists]2.????[endif]感謝
Lenski：Write ashort note of thanks to the reviewers and the editor at the top, above all oftheir comments.
翻譯：在這個(gè)回復(fù)文件的最開頭，先來一句感謝審稿人和編輯楔脯。
小編：第二條突然有些不對(duì)路，我好像是每條都thank一下胯甩，會(huì)不會(huì)過分殷勤了昧廷？
[if !supportLists]3.????[endif]字體
Lenski：Use adifferent font (bold or color) for your responses, to make them easy for theeditor (and reviewers, if the paper is returned to them for re-review) to find.
翻譯：你的回復(fù)要用和審稿人不同的字體（粗體或不同顏色皆可），以便編輯和審稿人看清楚偎箫。
小編：請(qǐng)注意木柬，不建議用紅色。有一次審別人的回復(fù)信淹办，作者用紅色加粗字體寫了一大堆眉枕，看得我頭暈?zāi)垦！?/p>
[if !supportLists]4.????[endif]草稿
Lenski：Draft aquick response to each comment.
翻譯：先逐條逐條做一快速回復(fù)怜森。
小編：好主意速挑。
[if !supportLists]5.????[endif]再感謝
Lenski：Reviewersoften begin by providing a synopsis of your paper. Thank the reviewers (again,after the synopsis) for their summary and kind remarks, when appropriate.There’s no need to write anything more after the synopsis, unless there’s asubstantive misunderstanding of an important point that comes up again in alater comment.? In that case, you might say something like “Thank you forthis summary of my/our paper. However, you may have misunderstood one point,about such and such, that I/we address in response to your comment below.”
翻譯：審稿人通常先寫下一段對(duì)你的文章的概括性質(zhì)的話。只要有可能副硅，在這段話后面要表達(dá)對(duì)審稿人的總結(jié)和對(duì)文章的細(xì)心點(diǎn)評(píng)姥宝。當(dāng)然，沒有必要在這里廢更多的話恐疲，除非該審稿人對(duì)你的文章的重要的point有所誤解且在之后提及腊满。這種情況下，可以試著說巴拉巴拉（見上面原文）培己。
小編：說得真好碳蛋。
[if !supportLists]6.????[endif]積極
Lenski：Try to viewevery comment as constructive.
翻譯：對(duì)審稿人所提的每一條建議，都盡量認(rèn)為是建設(shè)性的省咨。
小編：為什么我的心態(tài)是完全相反呢肃弟？在我眼中，全是destructive
comments茸炒。大牛心態(tài)真的好愕乎。
[if !supportLists]7.????[endif]多次
Lenski：Pay specialattention to comments where two (or more) reviewers comment on the same issue.
翻譯：對(duì)多位審稿人都提到的建議要倍加小心。
小編：想問一下壁公，回復(fù)的時(shí)候能否一起回了感论？
[if !supportLists]8.????[endif]兼聽
Lenski：Once you’vegot a draft response, share it with your co-authors (if any) to see whetherthey are on board with your resonses or have other suggestions.
翻譯：在你的回復(fù)信的草稿階段就和其他作者們一起分享討論，傾聽他們的建議紊册。
小編：大牛出現(xiàn)了typo比肄。
[if !supportLists]9.????[endif]耐心
Lenski：You’llprobably find that some text is trickier to edit than you thought in your draftresponse.? For example, new sentences to address a reviewer’s concernmight disrupt the existing flow.? That’s the scholarly life: carefulworking and reworking are needed at every stage.
翻譯：你很可能發(fā)現(xiàn)對(duì)于回復(fù)信草稿中有些地方的修改是棘手的快耿。譬如，增添新的句子去解釋審稿人的疑慮芳绩，但這樣做可能破壞文章的流暢掀亥。然而這就是學(xué)術(shù)生活：一次又一次的認(rèn)真的操作對(duì)任何階段都是必不可少的。
小編：看得我陷入沉思妥色。
[if !supportLists]10.? [endif]頁碼
Lenski：Whenappropriate, add page numbers (from the revised paper).
翻譯：只要可以搪花，在回復(fù)信中標(biāo)清楚在revised manuscript中相應(yīng)的頁碼。
小編：不考慮把行號(hào)也加上嗎嘹害？
[if !supportLists]11.? [endif]格式
Lenski：Bonusadvice! Check out the journal’s instructions for authors.
翻譯：最后送大家一條撮竿！再看一下雜志的要求。
小編：大牛送的彩蛋笔呀，收好幢踏。
到目前，Lenski的進(jìn)化實(shí)驗(yàn)已經(jīng)達(dá)到第73500代大腸桿菌许师，而若不是新冠疫情的影響房蝉，這一次數(shù)字本應(yīng)更高【4】。小編當(dāng)年也專程聽過Lenski的演講微渠，平時(shí)很少坐滿的報(bào)告廳里人滿為患搭幻，可見其受歡迎程度。盡管名聲在外敛助，Lenski的實(shí)驗(yàn)也受到了一些質(zhì)疑【5】粗卜，感興趣的朋友請(qǐng)查閱相關(guān)引文，這里不再贅述纳击。
