1. Read and understand peer review comments. The reviewer's comments may include topics, research methods, data analysis, conclusion statements and so on, which need to be carefully read and understood. For further explanation, please contact the reviewer or editor.
2. Focus on improving writing details. It is suggested to carefully check whether the language expressions and words used in the paper are accurate, concise and clear. Specific modifications can be made to the questions raised by reviewers, such as changing experimental data or analysis methods, modifying or supplementing relevant logic and arguments, etc.
3. Delete redundant and unnecessary content. Reviewers may sometimes think that some paragraphs or contents are unnecessary or lengthy and need to be deleted or modified. In order to improve the readability and fluency of the article, we can review and integrate too many narratives, parenthesis and adverbs in the original text.
4. Add or modify experimental data or additional materials. If the reviewer thinks that the experimental data or supplementary materials are insufficient or inaccurate, it needs to be revised according to the reviewer's suggestion. We can redesign or modify the experimental scheme, increase the number of data samples and statistical analysis methods.
5. Modify the format and typesetting. Reviewers can request to modify typesetting and formatting issues, such as citation format, page number and reference format. When revising, we should pay attention to strictly abide by the submission format and requirements of journals, and at the same time be basically correct.
6. Check spelling and grammar. Finally, when revising SCI papers, we need to check some basic language problems such as spelling, grammar, punctuation, capitalization and abbreviation, so as to ensure the accuracy and standardization of the articles.
It should be noted that the basic principle of "positive improvement" should be followed when revising the paper, that is, constantly improving one's academic level and self-examination ability, patiently responding to and improving the questions raised by reviewers, and finally improving the quality of the paper, laying a solid foundation for the smooth publication of SCI papers.
In short, when revising SCI papers, we need to take seriously the reviewers' suggestions, pay attention to modifying the content and language expression of the papers, strive to make the logic and ideas of the articles clearer, ensure that the articles are more concise, and consider whether the experimental data are rigorous and confirm whether our opinions are strong enough. At the same time, remember to communicate with reviewers or editors in time to confirm whether they are in line with each other's opinions and ensure the final successful submission.
