What determine your quality
 Original work, novel and significant
 Interest to the community
 Have sound motivation and purpose
 Not previously published
 Not under consideration for publication in any
other journal or any other form
 Scientific quality not quantity of papers
 Ethical code:


Research results – true, properly recorded
Authorship practices – who can be your co-authors
Helpful techniques for writing your paper
 Focus on new and important research
results
 Make sure the language is clear and
precise, especially your conclusions
 Ensure that figures and tables are clear
 Ensure that the paper is of the right
length
Something to avoid





Presenting new but trivial or obvious results
Making unsubstantiated conclusions
Burying new results beneath too much scene-setting
Recapping of findings already published
Presenting incremental research
 Being long winded – keep short
 ‘Flowery’ language
 Abbreviations and jargon
 Speculation or anecdotes – keep to the facts
 A ‘gimmicky’ title
 makes wild, unjustified claims
 Poor or incomplete references
 Poor quality figures
 Incomplete data
 Don’t cover up or ‘fudge’ the data
More helpful tips
 Allow time for rewriting
 Use figures instead of tables
 Ask a colleague to read and comment on an early
draft
 Check the structure of the paper:







Title – proper and complete
Abstract – more details, key words, PACS
Introduction – history, why, what you have done
Method – details and standard
Results and Discussion – fact and more
Conclusion – what you have achieved
References – objective and up-to-date

Electronic Submission_常见问题
注意：

1、投稿后立即获得的临时ID号不能用于状态查询，需要等待稍
后编辑通过电子邮件发给的正式ID号。

2、下载论文的审稿PDF文件并认真检查，若有问题，要立即联
系编辑并发去正确的PDF文件供审稿。

3、编辑只跟通讯作者联系，如果你不是，并且未得到任何回音
需要首先跟通讯作者查询。
问题和查询：[email protected]
Process at the journal
 Via [email protected] or Online – temporary ID, but
unable to track your paper, e.g. CM/T468752/FTC
 Editor acknowledges your paper, assign a ref
number, e.g. CM/567233/PAP/276041
 (Check with your corresponding author first!)
 Pre-screening process
 Editor selects referees for the paper
 Referees send their reports back to the Editor
 Editor makes decision based on referee reports
 Adjudicator is selected if the reports are conflicting
What referees do for your paper?
 Independent assessment by experts in the field
 Referees provide constructive criticism and
feedback on your paper
 A ‘filter’ for scientific quality control
 Publishing a paper in a peer-reviewed journal
gives more credibility to your work than if you
post it on your own web site
 Peer review is an essential part of publishing in a
journal or obtaining a grant
Referees’ assessment: Scientific Quality
 Scientific merit: significant new results and
originality
 Accurate and correct
 Sufficient discussion of the context of the
work, and suitable referencing
 Suitable material for the Journal
Referees’ assessment: Presentation
 Title: is it adequate/appropriate?
 Abstract: is it complete by itself and suitable
for direct inclusion in an abstracting service?
 Diagrams, tables, and captions: are they clear
and essential?
 Text and mathematics: are they brief but still
clear?
 Conclusion: does it summarise what has been
learned and why it is interesting and useful?
 References: objective and up-to-date
 Clear writing and communication of ideas,
readability and discussion of concepts

《IOP作者指南》即将发布

Responding to referees’ comments








Read referees’ report and put away for a day!
Read them again!
Respond to each and every comment
specifically
Keep a list of your changes
Where you disagree, explain why
If referee misses a point it is not necessarily
his/her fault
Be polite!
Prepare a detailed covering letter with your
response
If your paper is rejected




Do not despair: treat referees’ comments
as a free expert advice
You may be able to re-write your article
taking into account the suggestions of
the referees and re-submit it
Note: If you re-submit the paper to any
IOP journal, you need to add enough
significant new results in it
If you think the review was unfair, appeal
to the journal by sending a letter and
explaining why you think your work did
not receive a fair treatment
If your paper is accepted
 Great - celebrate!
 The journal will expect you to check your
proofs rapidly
 Nominate another person if you are
unavailable
 Give one copy of proofs to somebody else
to read
 Reply to editor’s queries

国内稿件质量不齐, 低质量论文对高水平论文带来
不利影响，造成多种浪费 — 时间、声誉
对稿件内容水平和写作把关，增加可读性
国际审稿时加速审稿过程, 增加可接受性，提高命
中率
整体上提高学术声誉
被拒稿的国内论文主要存在的一些问题


科学水平不高，追求论文数量。
写作水平和英文水平欠缺，不能正确表达研究结果和对
其进行充分的讨论，难以达到学术交流目的，甚至使审
稿人难以相信你的研究结果 – 不一定是偏见。
内容不适合所投期刊，如JPCM强调基础凝聚态物理，
因此，属于材料科学的论文难以被发表

几点建议








做好研究工作是写好论文的基础
利用互联网和电子期刊全面检索本领域的研究进展
提早全面准备写论文，不要等到最后
采用标准格式建立参考文献的电子数据库如Excel文件方
式，方便以后检索和引用
在研究过程中尽可能采用标准方式记录研究数据，争取
形成数据—图表—引用的自动数据链
提早训练写作英语（或其他外语）科技论文，检索一些
本领域的范文论文，反复熟记其语言写作特点和语言用
法，克服写作自己论文时的语言障碍, 但切记不可照搬!
多与老师、同学或同事讨论，认真思考不同的观点
写好第一篇外语论文，不要急于投稿
