第一次投外文被拒，但说可以修改后再投原刊，不知有否必要？

我的e0419

下面是拒审意见：请问还有必要再投这个期刊么？
Mr. Li
Manuscript ID 2012-0347 entitled "seismic singal-noise-ratio analysis methods ," which you submitted , has been reviewed.  The comments from reviewer and associate editor are included at the bottom of this letter.
In view of their criticisms, I am rejecting this manuscript for publication   However, a new manuscript may be submitted which takes into consideration these comments.

Please note that resubmitting your manuscript does not guarantee eventual acceptance, and that your resubmission will be subject to re-review before a decision is rendered.

You will be unable to make your revisions on the originally submitted version of your manuscript.  Instead, revise your manuscript using a word processing program and save it on your computer.



Reviewer's Comments to author:

The poor English makes this paper very difficult to review. I think there are too many references and the figures, although relevant, need to be properly labelled.

I do not see anything new in the paper, but you have attempted to join a few well known ideas together: for example, the filtering effect that fluid content can have on seismic signal; avo  and the signal-to-noise ratio of pre- and post-stack data.

On a positive note, the article does have a well defined structure and it might be useful if it was re-written in better English.

The conclusion needs more reference to the results of the field data analysis, which demonstrate that the method can successfully identify the presence of hydrocarbons.

Clearly label and number the axes of all plots using an adequate font size.  The vertical axes on the seismic plots should be labelled: Two-way time (s).  The seismic plots also need a horizontal scale bars.

The amplitude spectra in Figure 4 would be better combined into one, colour-coded, plot.

Review and reduce the number of references you have used.



Associate Editor's comments to author:

If the paper were properly re-written, there might be some value in publication. I found it very hard work to read, and an essential requirement of First Break papers is that they should be readable.  This manuscript does need more than a language edit.  I think you need to find a geophysicist with excellent English who will help you prepare a manuscript for resubmission.

In revising your manuscript, you need to pay attenuation to correct English grammar, write a more concise introduction, and write concise conclusions.

The figures need better labelling and annotation, as described by the reviewer.

看了这个回复，也学习学习人家老外怎么评审文章1、英语很重要，一定要专业，简洁明了！2、细节很重要，图标的坐标轴，注释，解释和相关性。3、参考文献不要太多。

在投之前，一定要把英语改好，多找几个人一块考证每个单词。否则，很多审稿人不会给你好评。

这个还要看你投的什么期刊，要是影响因子比较高，还是可以再投一下，要是不高，不如修改下，投一个因子高一点的。

改改再试，干嘛放弃呢

先改英文吧。
基本上再投这个杂志，希望不大。换一个吧

“The conclusion needs more reference to the results of the field data analysis, which demonstrate that the method can successfully identify the presence of hydrocarbons.”
这里说的是要增加一些参考文献或者说更多的材料，以便更好的说明作者提出的方法确实能够应用到实际工作中
