看看下面的这些,你会觉得老外很无辜,审稿很痛苦的,
--I have found this ms. boring to death.
--The peaceful atmosphere between Christmas and New Year was transiently disrupted by reading this manuscript.
-This one almost killed me. I am a ‘detail person’, obviously.
--I am sorry that I have spoiled my Xmas holidays with such a bad manuscript.
--I am fed up with people ignoring totally the instructions for authors.
--I wonder if you and I do not have better things to do than help people who can’t help themselves.
--My heart sinks when I have to review papers from this group as I know my response is most likely going to be as long as the paper.
--I hate this paper. It’s a bunch of engineers trying to do microbial ecology by numbers and not thinking about what/why they are doing it.
--This paper is essentially illegible. I have made suggestions for improvement to the authors, but a full list would have taken much longer than this paper is worth. You will see that I tried to be civil to the authors, as I assume they tried their best to write a good paper.
--Reject – did not meet any of their objectives.
--This is an altogether dispensable paper. The contribution to the field is ZERO.
--This is an essentially unreadable paper sent to the wrong journal.
--This is the most chaotic manuscript I have ever had for review. I am sorry for the colleagues to have wasted such an amount of time and resources to put this non-informative manuscript together and am I sorry for me to have read it many times to find at least something which is valid (but I could not find a single piece).
--Feels like banging my head against a brick wall with this one.
--This paper is long-winded. You can reject it without causing damage for the scientific community.
This paper is certainly not acceptable for ANY serious journal. My recommendation is "firm rejection" and that the manuscript be NOT encouraged to be resubmitted.
