审稿人在审稿的时候会被要求对论文的重要性做评判，有几个选项，从高到低依次是：(A) very important, (B) highly important, (C) important, ...... 如果至少两个审稿人选的是A的话，论文就有机会被编辑选为VIP（Very Important Paper）。
"Hot Papers are chosen by the Editors for their importance in a rapidly evolving field of high current interest. Many of the "Very Important Papers" (VIPs) would certainly qualify to be included here, but such a duplication is avoided."
