  2. Publish or Perish 出版或出局 • "Publish or perish" refers to the pressure to publish work constantly in order to further or sustain one's career in academia. The competition for tenure-track faculty positions in academia puts increasing pressure on scholars to publish new work frequently. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Publish_or_perish

  26. 主編的建議

  27. Johan Billen 主編 • Insectes Sociaux主編 • Laboratory of Entomology • Department of Biology • Leuven University http://bio.kuleuven.be/ento/index.htm

  28. Johan Billen • That's not so easy to comment on, I feel, but let me give it a try. I became Editor of Insectes Sociaux in 1990, and handled approx. 1700 manuscripts over the many years, so there should indeed be quite a bit of experience... • One of the most frequently occurring shortcomings of manuscripts is the language. English has by far become the number one language for international publishing, but still it happens far too often that manuscripts are submitted that are in too poor English. Some referees do make the effort to make linguistic corrections, but after all that is not what authors should expect from them. Authors should do their utmost best to provide a clear manuscript written in sound English.

  29. Johan Billen • Every author should be able to contact a colleague or friend who is native English. • Another common problem is too lengthy manuscripts, which can be the result of too many tables or figures, and/or too verbose wording. Many authors do not realize that editors have to deal with contracts with their publishers, with a limited publication capacity (= a limited number of pages, so too long manuscripts automatically means less space for other manuscripts). • Too descriptive manuscripts can also have a difficult time, lack of a clear aim or hypothesis makes a manuscript weaker. • Try to avoid too much wording of the kind of maybe, possible, could be, may...

  30. Johan Billen • Quality and relevance of figures and/or tables is another point of attention. Also offering the same information in multiple ways is to be avoided (e.g. not same data as table and figure and text). • Another criticism from referees that I often encounter is that Material and Methods is too limited, with too many unclarities. • References should be a sound reflection of what available on the international scene in the field of the manuscript - do not include too many hard-to-find scientific works (student dissertations, PhDs, local reports, papers published in too obscure journals and too uncommon languages). • These are just some first thought that come to my mind, don't know if this is helpful ?

  32. (1) 編輯的角色,審查者的角色,以及作者的角色 • 編輯的角色→是否符合宗旨? • 審查者的角色→是否有新發現? • 作者的角色→敘述是否完整? (2) 審查一般研究論文與研究計畫時經常發現的科學問題 • 沒有新發現 • 目標不明確 • 圖表不適當 (3) 除了遵照期刊格式外,給有志投稿科學期刊的年輕人一點忠告與建議 • 強調新發現 • 研究成果敘述應完整 • 文字應用宜精簡明確

  34. 期刊編輯的建議與忠告 • 稿件必須依照期刊格式撰寫,以免被退回修正,徒然浪費投稿時間。如對格式內容有不清楚的地方,可直接參考該期刊近期出版的報告內容格式。 • 如果投稿同一期刊有2次以上格式嚴重不符,顯示投稿者的專業形象不足或對期刊之規定不夠尊重,可能會吃悶虧。 • 主編在決定審稿人員時,常會由引用文獻中的作者去選取,這是引用文獻必須嚴謹的另一個理由。 • 主編為審查人與作者間之溝通橋樑及最終裁判,投稿人對於審查意見必須逐一說明是否根據審查意見修正或不擬修正之理由,切勿逃避問題或含糊答覆。

  35. 主編或審稿人員多為機關學校學術研究人員兼任,處理稿件僅為其工作之一,輕重緩急由其安排,通常對於回應迅速的作者,相對的也會儘快處理。主編或審稿人員多為機關學校學術研究人員兼任,處理稿件僅為其工作之一,輕重緩急由其安排,通常對於回應迅速的作者,相對的也會儘快處理。 • 主編最怕的就是收到一稿兩投的稿件,或是內容不實的稿件,這會對期刊造成重大傷害甚至衍生版權問題。身為研究人員絕對要避免這種事情發生。 • 期刊主編或編輯也會換人擔任,審稿流程可能會延誤甚至檔案遺失,稿件投出後最好能隨時追蹤處理進度,不要只是心急卻默默的等待。本人就有半夜打電話去美國抱怨稿件審查拖延情形,結果在四小時內收到接受稿件傳真的實際經驗。 • 在期刊缺稿的情況下,稿件被接受的機會相對較高,處理速度也會較快。當然文稿品質仍需在一定的水準。 • 投稿最怕退稿,多多投稿定有收穫,驚喜總在意料之外出現。期刊退稿率也是投稿時參考的資訊之一。

  41. Editor • Dear Man-Miao Yang, Your manuscript entitled The redefinition of the ejaculatory reservoir s. str. in Pentatomomorpha (Hemiptera: Heteroptera), manuscript #AN-03- 088 Version 1 will be reconsidered for publication after the completion of the major revisions as noted. Please address the reviewers' and editor's comments that are enclosed. If the reviewer included a separate file of the review, it can be accessed by logging onto your My Manuscripts page and clicking the "Download Comments" button. We also request that you submit a separate, high-quality digital file for each of your figures along with your revised manuscript. Please refer to the Cadmus web site at http://cjs.cadmus.com/da/ for a list of what software applications and file types are acceptable for digital figures. When you submit these figure files, make sure you check the box that says "For Review/Print Production," when prompted. When you are ready to return the manuscript, log on to the Rapid Review system at http://www.rapidreview.com/ESA2/CALogon.jsp. As a reminder, your User Name is MMYang. If you need your password, click "Can't remember your password?" on the logon screen and follow the directions. Your revised manuscript must be resubmitted within 90 days or it will be withdrawn from consideration. If you cannot meet this deadline, please contact me. Sincerely, Donald G. Cochran

  42. REVIEWER 1: • Comments: This is a well-written manuscript that provides significant new information on the structure of the male genitalia in the Pentatomomorpha. The authors provide a good review of the literature and do an excellent job documenting the need for the new terminology "reservoir lumen.“ • The manuscript is very clean, but I have made a few suggestions for the authors to consider before publications as follows: • 1. p. 4, line 2, Replace "a" with word in CAPS: ...forming AN ejaculatory reservoir... • 2……

  43. REVIEWER 2: • Comments: In brief, this is an interesting manuscript examining structures that may eventually be crucial in determining the phylogeny in the Pentomomorpha of the Heteroptera. In that vein, this is certainly worthy of publication. But there are a number of minor typographical errors that need to be corrected (listed at bottom), and there are a couple things that would greatly improve the manuscript (discussed below). • First, this paper has no real Materials and Methods section other than an Appendix listing all the species examined in this study. I would like to see the procedures used to examine the genitalic structures. • Second….

  45. Editor • Dear Dr. Hsu, • Attached please find the reviewers report for your paper: 'A new species of Potanthus….etc.' that you submitted to Insect Systematics & Evolution. As you can see, it is very favourable, and your paper can be accepted after a minor revision.Please take care to make the corrections suggested by the reviewer. When you resubmit, please provide electronic versions of all the files as well. Be adviced that on the CD you submitted with the first version of the MS, we where not able to open all the files. Please consult http://www.zmuc.dk/EntoWeb/InSysEvol/ for information about appropriate formats. • Please excuse the delay in processing your paper. The illness and death of Nils M. Andersen, the former editor-in-chief, on May 12th has severely disrupted the day-to-day business of IS&E. Looking forward to recieve the revised version of your paper. • Yours sincerely • Lars Vilhelmsen

  46. REVIEWER • I consider this a significant and new contribution to the knowledgeof the large and "difficult" genus Potanthus. The only treatment of the entire genus is by Evans (1949) and this treatment is highly unsatisfactory, the descriptions being restricted to an absolute minimum and the figure of the male genitalia being schematic, to say it kindly. The authors, who know the skipper fauna of E Asia very well, have done a good job in providing much detail and discussing relationships. Their biogeographic discussion makes their contribution of interest for a wider audience than just skipper enthousiasts. A complete revision of the entire genus would be welcome, and this paper could be a start. • The English language needs some attention, but the text is clear enough. Some of the references are to papers published in Japanese. I would suggest to add this information in square brackets. Some of these journals (like Gekkan-Mushi and Nature & Insects) are not readily available in many places outside Japan and prospective readers may find it helpful to know beforehand that they may not be able to understand a paper fully that they have troubles locating anyway. • I recommend that the MS is accepted if the very minor suggestions mentioned are taken into account.

  48. Mutations in the acetylcholinesterase gene of Bactrocera dorsalisconferring resistance to organophosphorus insecticides Reviewer: The contributions of the three mutations to resistance, individually or in combination, have not been functionally proven. Their role is speculative. Therefore the word "conferring" must be replaced by "associated with" in the title and abstract.
