[求助] 晚上被IET-RSN拒稿了，麻烦各位帮我看看接下来怎么办已有1人参与

对于论文本身，自我感觉创新性有所欠缺，主要是针对工程应用的，因此被拒多多少少还是有些心理准备。文章是14年7月底投的，今天（9月9日）得到paper decision。前几天博士刚入学，就收到拒信，有些受挫。

Thank you for submitting your paper to IET Radar, Sonar & Navigation. The peer review process is now complete. The referees and I feel that your paper requires significantly more work and is not acceptable for publication in its current form.  My decision is therefore to decline your paper with encouragement to submit a substantially revised paper.  I appreciate that this decision will be a disappointment, but hope that you find the referees' comments (given below) useful in improving your paper.

If, following comprehensive revision, you should choose to submit your paper again, please go to http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/iet-rsn. Enter the Author Centre and go to 'Manuscripts with Decisions'. Click on 'Create a Resubmission' next to the paper number and follow the instructions given.

Comments to the Author
This paper gives an algorithm in range and azimuth tracking of ISAR
imaging. The algorithm can be summarized as a centroid algorithm with a forgetting factor, which should be a standard processing in ISAR imaging. The innovation of this paper is not adequate.

Comments to the Author
Centroid method is applied to radar signal processing for tracking range and azimuth signals in ISAR imaging. By doing this in processing radar returns for wideband signal, the authors claim that a smoothed detection can be obtained and the miss-dection due to individual return drop-off is reduced. As a consequence, the tracking of both range and azimuth signals becomes robust compared to the case without the statistical treatment.

While this paper is potentially publishable, there are quite a few problems which need to be fixed:
1.  contribution is not clearly justified. Although the contribution of this paper which as i mentioned above is trivial, it is not clearly justified. As the core technical part, the centroid algorithm should be clearly described. It is not clear whether there is a modification to the "original" as they quoted.

2. there are quite a few technical issues:
1) some statement is vague. For example, in the abstract, it said `` the RAT method may lead to estimation ... in some extreme cases.'' What means an extreme case?  What the ``wideband echo" means?
2) title has not reflected what the paper described.
3) Authors refer to the reference [18] to the centroid algorithm. However, as a major part of this paper, authors should provide a detailed description on this algorithm and therefore give their justification for using this algorithm in this application. I believe that this is a crucial point that they should pay attention to and strengthen the technical part of the paper.
4) the technical analysis is weak. For example, authors mentioned ``forgotten factor'' but i cannot find where they have technically describe it and its relation to the detection. Is it from AR model? please don't assume that the reader will know. Although authors written about half page on the selection of the forgotten factor but there is no formula or expression to refer to what they are talking about.
5) Why authors restrict their work to ISAR? Can the underlying technique be applied to the detection of any mono pulse radar?

3. Apart from the revision, this paper needs to have a complete English check and correction. I can see that bad English expressions have obscured what they actually want to say.

Comments to the Author
Many times in the paper the Local Oscillator is addressed. A block diagram with LO and radar experimental setup will be appropriate or this topic should be omitted from the paper.
May be in section 2 part B the well known principle of monopulse radar angle tracking should be omitted.

麻烦各位帮我看看，结合审稿人给出的修改意见，我是应该修改后重投IET-RSN，还是换一个期刊投？
谢谢大家。帮我重拾信心吧！
