现在的情况是这样的，投稿杂志暂称A。 我8月22日往A上投了一篇文章，系统显示的是with editor，然后24日改为under review。今天收到decision，写的是revise before review。编辑的decision letter如下：

I was reading your manuscript with high attention but I could not detect the novelty of the results. Obviously, do not know the papers published in A杂志 in recent years, which are related to 相关研究. There so many papers with this regard. My recommendation is to make a recherche in A杂志 and explain the necessity and novelty of this research in view of the recently published papers. Please submit the improved version within 60 days.
Once again, thank you for submitting your manuscript to A杂志. I look forward to receiving your revision.

我的疑问是：我论文中明确写出了创新点在哪里，提出了一种新方法。现在编辑认为我的文章没有创新点，并且要求添加A杂志的引用。那么编辑的意思是真的说我没有创新点吗？还是为了客套一下，让我添加参考文献的引用？ 请大家帮忙分析，有没有相关经验？谢谢。 返回小木虫查看更多
