四、關於論文的總體審查意見
1. This is a carefully done study and the findings are of considerable interest. A few minor revision are list below.
2. This is a well-written paper containing interesting results which merit publication. For the benefit of the reader, however, a number of points need clarifying and certain statements require further justification. There are given below.
3. Although these observation are interesting, they are rather limited and do not advance our knowledge of the subject sufficiently to warrant publication in PNAS. We suggest that the authors try submitting their findings to specialist journal such as –
4. Although this paper is good, it would be ever better if some extra data were added.
5. This manuscript is not suitable for publication in the journal of – because the main observation it describe was reported 3 years ago in a reputable journal of - .
6. Please ask someone familiar with English language to help you rewrite this paper. As you will see, I have made some correction at the beginning of the paper where some syntax is not satisfactory.
7. We feel that this potentially interesting study has been marred by an inability to communicate the finding correctly in English and should like to suggest that the authors seek the advice of someone with a good knowledge of English, preferable native speaker.
8. The wording and style of some section, particularly those concerning HPLC, need careful editing. Attention should be paid to the wording of those parts of the Discussion of and Summary which have been underlined.
9. Preliminary experiments only have been done and with exception of that summarized in Table 2, none has been repeated. This is clearly unsatisfactory, particularly when there is so much variation between assays.
10. The condition of incubation are poorly defined. What is the temperature? Were antibody used?
1. In reply to the referee’s main criticism of paper, it is possible to say that –
One minor point raised by the referee concerns of the extra composition of the reaction mixture in Figure 1. This has now been corrected. Further minor changes had been made on page 3, paragraph 1 (line 3-8) and 2 (line 6-11). These do not affect our interpretation of the result.
2. I have read the referee’s comments very carefully and conclude that the paper has been rejected on the sole grounds that it lake toxicity data. I admit that I did not include a toxicity table in my article although perhaps I should have done. This was for the sake of brevity rather than an error or omission.
3. Thank you for your letter of – and for the referee’s comments concerning our manuscript entitled “”. We have studied their comments carefully and have made correction which we hope meet with their approval.
4. I enclosed a revised manuscript which includes a report of additional experiments done at the referee’s suggestion. You will see that our original findings are confirmed.
5. We are sending the revised manuscript according to the comments of the reviewers. Revised portion are underlined in red.
6. We found the referee’s comments most helpful and have revised the manuscript
7. We are pleased to note the favorable comments of reviewers in their opening sentence.
8. Thank you for your letter. I am very pleased to learn that our manuscript is acceptable for publication in Cancer Research with minor revision.
9. We have therefore completed a further series of experiments, the result of which are summarized in Table 5. From this we conclude that intrinsic factor is not account.
10. We deleted the relevant passage since they are not essential to the contents of the paper.
11. I feel that the reviewer’s comments concerning Figures 1 and 2 result from a misinterpretation of the data.
12. We would have include a non-protein inhibitor in our system, as a control, if one had been available.
13. We prefer to retain the use of Table 4 for reasons that it should be clear from the new paragraph inserted at the end of the Results section.
14. Although reviewer does not consider it is important to measure the temperature of the cells, we consider it essential.
15. The running title has been changed to “”.
16. The Materials and Methods section now includes details for measuring uptake of isotope and assaying hexokinase.
17. The concentration of HAT media (page12 paragraph 2) was incorrectly stated in the original manuscript. This has been rectified. The authors are grateful to the referees for pointing out their error.
18. As suggested by both referees, a discussion of the possibility of laser action on chromosome has been included (page16, paragraph 2).
19. We included a new set of photographs with better definition than those originally submitted and to which a scale has been added.
20. Following the suggestion of the referees, we have redraw Figure 3 and 4.
21. Two further papers, published since our original submission, have been added to the text and Reference section. These are:
22. We should like to thank the referees for their helpful comments and hope that we have now produced a more balance and better account of our work. We trust that the revised manuscript is acceptable for publication.
23. I greatly appreciate both your help and that of the referees concerning improvement to this paper. I hope that the revised manuscript is now suitable for publication.
24. I should like to express my appreciation to you and the referees for suggesting how to improve our paper.
25. I apologize for the delay in revising the manuscript. This was due to our doing an additional experiment, as suggested by referees

1. Submitted to Journal 剛提交的狀態
2. Manuscript received by Editorial Office 就是你的文章到了編輯手裡了，證明投稿成功
3. With editor如果在投稿的時候沒有要求選擇編輯，就先到主編那，主編會分派給別的編輯。這當中就會有另兩個狀態：
3.1. Awaiting Editor Assignment指派責任編輯 Editor assigned是把你的文章分給一個編輯處理了。
3.2. technical check in progress 檢查你的文章符不符合期刊投稿要求
3.3. Editor Declined Invitation 如果編輯接手處理了就會邀請審稿人了。
4.隨後也會有2種狀態
4.1. Decision Letter Being Prepared 就是編輯沒找審稿人就自己決定了，那根據一般經驗，對學生來說估計會掛了 1)英文太差，編輯讓修改。 2)內容太差，要拒了。除非大牛們直接被接收。
4.2. Reviewer(s) invited 找到審稿人了，就開始審稿
5. Under review 這應該是一個漫長的等待。當然前面各步驟也可能很慢的，要看編輯的處理情況。如果被邀請審稿人不想審，就會decline，編輯會重新邀請別的審稿人。
6. Required Reviews Completed 審稿人的意見已上傳，審稿結束，等待編輯決定
7. uating Recommendation 評估審稿人的意見，隨後你將收到編輯給你的decision
8. Minor revision/Major revision這個時候可以稍微慶祝一下了，問題不大了，因為有修改就有可能。具體怎麼改就不多說了，謙虛謹慎是不可少的。
9. Revision Submitted to Journal 又開始了一個循環。
10. Accepted 恭喜了
11. Transfer copyright form 籤版權協議
12. uncorrected proof 等待你校對樣稿
13. In Press, Corrected Proof 文章在印刷中，且該清樣已經過作者校對
14. Manuscript Sent to Production 排版
15 in production 出版中
另外的一些常見英文詞彙： minor revision 小修，這個基本上是接收了，但是要按要求做一些修改 major revision 大修，文章要做大的修改，文章要增加或是刪除部分內容。這個修改後接收的幾率為50%
camera-ready paper 可以付印的正式稿件
graphical abstract 圖文接要 一個能夠突出你文章特色的圖,配上一兩句話說明
running head 就是發表文章裡顯示在你頁眉上的(一般論文偶數頁顯示RUNNING HEAD，奇數頁顯示論文的前幾位作者的英文名縮寫)，一般是用一個短語(幾個單詞，別太長了)根括你論文的主要內容。
