12、 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.

15、ph 1 (line 3-8) and 2 (line 6-11). These do not affect our interpretation of the result.2. I have read the referees comments very carefully and conclude that the paper has been rejected on the sole grounds that it lake toxicity data.

20、ewers 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 inserte

21、d 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.

I should like to express my appreciation to you and the referees for suggesting how to improve our paper.25. I apologi

26、ze for the delay in revising the manuscript. This was due to our doing an additional experiment, as suggested by referees我来说几句:1. 一般投稿以后,不要有事没有事经常写信给编辑.总体来说,这些编辑都很认真负责的.我们只用静侯佳音即可;2. 所有编辑都很忙,而且有很多人同时担任多个杂志的编辑,且大多数都是兼职而非专职,所以我们应该体谅他们,尽量不要给他们制造麻烦;3. 不同杂志有不同的程序和周期,我们一般可以从已经发表的文章当中看到相关信息:received:*; rev

27、ised:*;accepted*;所以我们应该心中有数;4. 应该注意的是:不同文章的处理周期不可能是千篇一律的,有时长一点也不足为怪;5. 一般杂志的周期应该在3个月之内,所以我觉得3个月以上的情况,应该是可以写信询问的.当然也可以再等一段时间;6. 我们可以想想,如果我们自己是编辑,接到这样的来信,收到稿件不到一个月就急着询问结果,而且天天收到很多这样的信件,我们心里会怎么想呢?而且有些时候,好象没有办法去细细与作者解释.所以我们写信也没有用,还不如不写. 下面是UKchinese 战友的一个帖子,回复状态一直是Under Review,而日期有一直在变化的疑问,有参考价值. 值得注意的是

28、:有些网上投稿系统是不显示日期的,如Scholar One.每一次编辑的处理,都会有日期的变化,而状态不变.这说明你的稿件一直在编辑的关注之中,你不用写信询问.状态一直是Under Review,而日期在变,有以下几种情况:1. 如果杂志需要2或3名审稿人,从第一个审稿人接受审稿,第二个审稿人接受审稿,第三个审稿人接受审稿, 到第一个审稿人审稿意见返回,第二个审稿人审稿意见返回,第三个审稿人审稿意见返回,这期间都是Under Review;2. 当然也有审稿人审稿接受审稿一段时间后又拒绝审稿的情况,这时编辑得寻找新的审稿人;3. 还有审稿人的审稿意见不能按照规定的时间返回编辑手里,这时编辑得催

29、促审稿人,在得不到有效答复后,寻找新的审稿人;4. 还有审稿人的审稿意见返回编辑手里,但编辑认为缺乏水平,他会采取不信任处理,也要寻找新的审稿人;5. 还有审稿人的审稿意见返回编辑手里,但编辑认为太简单,没有足够的参考信息,他也会寻找新的审稿人;6. 两个审稿人的意见非常矛盾,这时编辑也会考虑增加审稿人.Try to avoid writing a letter to editor only regarding the review process, because it is beyond the editors control.If you do want remind the edito

30、r for the time, you can try another methods for contacting.For example:Ms No:Dear editorI am writing regarding our above-mentioned paper, which has been submited for your consideration 3 months ago. It comes into my attention the status of our paper has been keeping on * for a long time, without any change. I do not know if it is because you are having difficulties in securing referees for our paper. If that is the case, please let us know & I will provide several possible reviewers in this area for your reference.Thank you for your great efforts on processing our manuscript.Sincerely
