前段时间投了一篇scientific reports的稿子，来来回回4次都是因为我没能理解“in the article file regarding competing ‘financial’ interests still stands”的问题,无论我选yes还是no都是一被返回来，要崩溃了。

Dear Prof XXXXX,

Many thanks for resubmitting your manuscript to Scientific Reports, however please note that the points previously raised at the Initial Quality Check stage have not been sufficiently addressed. Unfortunately we are not able to process your manuscript further until the following points have been addressed:

-- Thank you for changing the competing interests statement on our system so that it now reads 'There is NO Competing Interest'.

However, the point we raised in our previous email about the statement in your article file regarding competing ‘financial’ interests still stands. We do require that the declaration in your article file refers to both financial and non-financial interests. Can you please therefore update this statement in your article file so that it refers to ‘competing interests’, rather than 'competing financial interests'. If applicable, you may also list any non-financial competing interests as outlined in our editorial policies.

Further, please note that the Competing Interests statement on the system must match the Competing Interests statement provided in the article file. Please see the following guidelines for instructions on preparing this statement: www.nature.com/srep/policies/index.html#competing

-- Please ensure that all authors are individually mentioned in the author contribution statement. Currently, the authors ROB, BBC, and VOA do not appear to be mentioned in this statement.

I would be grateful if you could make the above change to your manuscript before sending me an email directly to let me know that you have resubmitted your files. I will then be happy to check your manuscript on our system, to ensure that your manuscript is handled as swiftly as possible.

Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused by the Quality Check process. However, it is imperative that the point raised is addressed so that your manuscript can progress to the next stage of submission.
