2个月前投稿的,一个月后收到编辑部初审意见,经过详细修改后再投过去合适吗?
Thank you very much for submitting the above paper for review and possible publication in the Canadian Journal of Civil Engineering.
We have examined the paper, and in the view of the Editorial Board, it appears that it is not suitable for publication in CJCE. In particular, although the relevance to Canadian practice is somewhat remote, this is quite an interesting structure and the modelling and analysis is potentially worthy of consideration.
However, the quality of English is unacceptable. Furthermore, the length of the manuscript substantially exceeds the 9000 word maximum permitted by the CJCE (our calculations show 7000 (text) words, 23 figures and 10 tables - which are each equivalent to 250 words apiece - totalling 8250 word equivalents, with a final manuscript total of 15,250 words.
The Board has recommended that if the authors wish to resubmit a revised version of this paper to the CJCE, they must first substantially reduce its length so that it does not exceed 9000 words, and must also secure the services of a technical Editor with a strong background in English to improve the language and bring the English up to an acceptable standard.

还有一个让自己很纠结的问题是,杂志的征稿指南里面有这样一句话,好象该杂志是专门针对加拿大国内的文章.
It is published monthly by the National Research Council, with articles in English or French. It is intended the Journal will reflect and stimulate the practice of civil engineering in Canada.
