Dear Mr. xxx,
Your manuscript,has been reviewed. The comments are appended below. After reading the paper and the review/s, I must recommend rejecting the paper.
Both reviewers indicate that this is an interesting topic that could be considered for publication. And I agree with them. However, there are so many and so important issues that should be addressed in the manuscript, which are pointed out in detail in reviewers' reports and attachments, that a simple revision will not be enough to save it at this stage.
If you like to consider resubmitting this paper, please address all of reviewer comments in your revised paper and I can process it as a new submission. Should this be your choice, please include a response letter that shows how and where you addressed these comments as well, as it will make future review easier and faster.
I hope this does not discourage you from submitting papers to the International Journal of Coal Geology in the future. |
