很多人花了很多时间做研究,想发表论文还得先通过一连串投稿考验,却常常很难如期和如愿。这时候,可能有人会想那就一次投个八间十间,总会中一间吧? 这就中了投稿大忌了,投稿的黄金原则就是绝对不能一稿多投。 在这篇文章中,我们将会说明同时投稿到一间以上的期刊会有什么后果、该怎么避免陷阱,以及什么时候可以再投稿论文。 为什么不能”一稿多投” 不能同时投稿的原因有几个,道德规范、法律问题、现实商业因素,甚至是名誉上的考量都是。 名誉考量 期刊备受尊敬是因为他们发表受同侪审核的高品质研究,而且期刊以能为读者挑选出最新颖与值得注目的研究为傲,所以读者相当相信期刊。如果读者发现期刊竟然发表一些其他期刊已经发布的内容,读者会进而怀疑其他期刊发表内容是不是也是旧资讯。再来,不同期刊同时刊登同样的研究的话,可能会无意间夸大其议题的重要性。读者可能会误以为有很多研究同时针对同一议题进行,且刚好每一个都获得了同样的结果。判断不同期刊刊登的研究是不是由同一组研究人员所做或是否就是同一个研究,不应该是读者的责任。 法律因素 在投稿时,大部分的情况作者可以保有著作权,但必须独家授发表权给这个期刊,否则期刊不会审核论文。因此,从法律的角度来看,该期刊拥有该论文的唯一发表权 (除了一些例外,通常不涉及授予其他出版商类似的权利)。想想看要是你独家授权给两间期刊,结果幸运的他们都接受你的论文了,这个幸运就是你的不幸。期刊必须浪费时间与精力去解决这个授权冲突,最后可能导致论文先后被拒稿的情况。如果论文已经被刊登了,就会发生公开撤稿的情形。 现实商业考量 作者不是唯一一个担心自己浪费时间在投稿上的人,其他人也是一样的。高影响系数期刊的审稿时间大约是几个月起跳,这是因为期刊的编辑、审稿者与其他的员工投注了大量时间与资源审核上千份的论文。你担心无法投稿成功,期刊则担心无法筛选出最相关与新的研究结果。因此,期刊无法承担在最后一刻撤回稿件的巨大成本与风险,所以期刊的常见要求是作者一次只能投一间。 最后,限制作者一次只能投一间大幅降低了编辑审核的作业量,代表编辑有更多时间能用于审核其他的论文。如果大家都能一稿多投以上,期刊编辑将会收到比现在还要更多的量,则可能导致审稿期间拉更长。 一稿多投的后果 如上所述,其中一个后果就是期刊出于种种考量可能拒绝你的稿件,或撤稿已刊登的稿件。另外一种期刊可能采取的作法是要求你将长篇论文改写成短文,并保留对期刊读者来说有用的资讯。 最后,如果你被发现违反期刊的投稿规定,你可能会失去期刊的信任。后果就是期刊会更加仔细检查你之后的投稿文章来确保没有任何的道德议题。 一稿多投的其他问题 一稿多投是投稿过程中你可能会面临到的其中一个问题,重叠性高的研究也可能让编辑有警戒心。举例来说,把自己的研究结果分成好几份论文 (又称萨拉米香肠战术,salami slicing)发表的可能性。但是拆分研究来写论文不代表会被拒绝,只要分出来的每一份论文都有点(论文呈现不同的研究结果),使其不重复,期刊还是有可能接收你的文章。 虽然普遍不鼓励萨拉米香肠战术,你还是可以根据一个大型的实验来撰写多份论文并投稿,多份论文使用共同的研究数据但聚焦在尚未被其他论文讨论过的议题就可以。 什么情况下可以一稿多投 投稿前提问(Pre-submission queries) 投稿之前都可以询问期刊编辑,这样一来可以先排除掉不适合你论文的期刊。这些询问信件(query letters)要简明扼要的介绍自己的论文内容,可以同时寄给多个期刊,如果收到期刊的正面回覆,那你就可以决定是否要正式投给这个期刊开启投稿程序。从很多方面来看,投稿前提问可以节省彼此时间和资源。 出版前或未出版之文章(Pre-printing) 在正式发表之前,Pre-printing是另一个方法可以先占有该研究的发表优先权。本着开放获取的精神,pre-printing是一个与科学界分享数据权限来介绍自己研究结果。举例来说,physical sciences database arXiv就是最早创立electronic pre-print的平台之一。 因为pre-prints不是同侪审稿过的,因此作者不应该把这个当成替代实际投稿期刊发表的手段。但是 pre-printing的其中一个好处是你在发表pre-print的日期时就已经拥有该研究议题的优先发表权,而不是之后正式论文发表的日期。 所以,如果你担心某个研究议题的第一个发表地位会先被其他人抢走的话, pre-prints是一个蛮不错的方法。 另外需要注意的是 假设你打算投稿到双盲审查的期刊,你就不可以使用这个方法。 双盲审查的目的就是为了排除所有作者相关资讯所造成的偏见。然而,Pre-printing可能会影响到双盲审查的目的,因为论文内容可能已经在数据库中被审查编辑看过了。因此,期刊编辑就得花更多时间来找其他还没看过pre-print内容的编辑来审查论文。编辑如果需要花更多的时间来帮你找审查编辑,那么论文被接收的可能性就会小很多。 额外信息 想参考额外关于同时投稿多间期刊的道德议题,请参考以下: Elsevier Factsheet, “ Simultaneous Submission/ Multiple, Duplicate Publication .” International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), “ Overlapping Publications .” Elizabeth Wager, “ Why You Should not Submit Your Work to More than One Journal at a Time .” Elsevier’s case studies regarding multiple publications: Case Study 1 , Case Study 2 , and Case Study 3 . Committee on Publication Ethics, “ What to Do If You Suspect Redundant (Duplicate) Publication (A) .” Committee on Publication Ethics, “ What to Do If You Suspect Redundant (Duplicate) Publication (B) .”
学术界中,许多学者的职涯与论文发表数量息息相关。虽然一个人的发表多寡不代表他的聪颖程度或对于学术圈的实际贡献,然而许多研究单位、公司,甚至是非营利单位都使用发表文章多寡来比较候选人的好坏。但是一个研究计画可能需要耗费相当长的时间,而研究可以长达十几年。如果不加速研究进度的情况下,我们能如何增加论文发表列表的数量呢? 寻找其他发表的方法。 研究论文不是唯一一种被列为刊物的形式,你可以利用以下不同种类的文章来增加你发表数量。以下是各种不同的论文形式的介绍, 列表中提供每种写作的简短介绍、内容特色、是否由编辑征求、作者数量的统计、文献和字数,同时也准备了几个范例提供参考。 如果你写论文的时候,已经决定好要投哪个期刊的话,可以将该期刊最近的发表文章都看过一次来学习写作风格。除此之外,把期刊的作者须知(guide for authors)读过一次来确认编辑的确切要求。 文稿类别 详细内容 范文 Original Research Papers, including Clinical Cases Studies An article that discusses the details of recent original projects, including their data, results, and findings.

2017年的国际同行评议周(9/11-9/17)正进行的如火如荼, 业界各方探讨同行评审带来的不同契机和挑战,而对于科研作者而言, 正确的回复编辑以及同行审稿人的意见,对于科研文稿的命运,起着至关重要的作用, 藉此契机,我们一起和中国的科研作者讨论一下,在获得同行评议的意见之后,如何更好的和审稿人沟通。 目前的科研写作中的同行评议制度可谓既让人受益,又不免让人沮丧,而且有助于提高科研文稿质量的实质性建议,往往都深藏在篇幅较长措辞微妙的评论意见之中,这对于母语非英文的作者来说是一个很大的挑战,而且如果您发现审稿人显然没有通读您的文稿,或完全误解了某项结论,作者将作何解释和处理? 很多时候作者可能非常想直接回答说该审稿人没有通读文章,然后并不作任何其他的解释。这种心情相信大家都有,如何正确的对待和处理才可以达到合理解释的同时恰当的表达自己的观点呢? 首先,希望作者可以端正态度 要知道,同行评议中的审稿人是本着为促进科研界的探索和发现,诚心诚意的进行至关重要的审稿,因此我们有必要要向他们提供严谨并且全面的答复。审稿人从全新视角的为您的文稿提供评价,有时能在文稿到达更广泛的读者之前发现重大缺陷。最终是作者本人获得作品带来的荣誉,但审稿人对文稿的成文经过也起到了功不可没的作用。 您可以 无需认同审稿人的 每一条建议 ,但当您想拒绝一两条建议时,礼貌的答复会对您大有帮助。从长远角度来说,如何答复审稿人和编辑,也影响到您的手稿是否能获得满意的审阅决定。 您与审稿人进行礼貌和客观的讨论的同时也传达出您对学术的投入态度,以及希望让同行评议帮助您提高文稿质量的意愿。 好了,关键来了,那应该 怎样有礼有节的答复这些意见呢? 以下英文范例是很多情况下作者可能会用到的表达,我们提供了更有礼貌的英文表述方式,以作参考。 另外很多时候,作者很可能已经审阅过其他作者的文章(-即使现在没有,在未来也很有可能成为审稿人),因此利用答复审稿人问题的机会,如果可以用您希望他人对待您的方式,将心比心。 以下仅为示例,请用自己的语言撰写具体意见。 • 您想要说 :你之所以提出这个问题就是因为没理解我们写的东西 • 建议您说 :我们有几处表述比预想的模糊,我们已对文本作出调整,使其更加清晰 明确。 (Several statements that we made were more ambiguous than intended, and we have adjusted to the text to be clearer.) • 您想要说 :目前没人能回答那个问题。 • 建议您说 :这个问题很合理,我们也正积极寻找答案。或这是个很合理的重要问题,我们也很想获知结果。但我们暂时回答不了这个问题。 (This is a valid question, and we are actively pursuing the answer in our lab. OR This is a valid and important question, and we are curious what the results would be. However, we are unaware of any studies that provide the answer.) • 您想要说 :那种实验得花很久时间。 • 建议您说 :建议中提及的实验十分有趣,能提供与……相关的其他信息(在这里引用评审人员的意见),但我们认为它超出了本研究的范围。 (The suggested experiment is interesting and would provide additional information about…, but we feel that it falls outside the scope of this study.) • 您想要说: 我们不是说已经证明了某项结论——那只是我们的假设! • 建议您说 : 我们同意这种解释目前只是推测,并且我们已对文本进行编辑,以说明本文结论仅由文中结果得出。 (We agree that this explanation is speculative at this time, and we have edited the text to state that our conclusion is only suggested by our results. ) 注:您需要改动文稿这部分的内容以便进一步强调您的描述仅为假设,即便您之前认为这很明显,但还是需要进行调整的,不能假设别人会如作者本人一样熟悉内容。 • 您想要说 :你根本没看懂我们写的东西才有这样的疑问。 • 建议您说 :我们并非想表明 ,因此我们已修改了文本,以具体说明 。 (We did not intend to indicate , and we have therefore altered the text to specify that . ) 注:如同前述,还是要对文稿那几处用词进行修改调整的。 • 您想要说 :这个无关学术观点,不过是语言或者写作结构的问题罢了 • 建议您说 :很抱歉出现这种语法失误,我们已根据您的建议更正了文本。如果可以提供语言编辑证书,更可以打消编辑对语言方面的疑虑,关注在研究发现的本身 (We apologize for this error, and we have corrected the text as suggested.) • 您想要说 :我的英文写作能力比审稿人的好竟然挑剔我的语法? • 建议您说 :我们的文稿已被英文母语的人完成了对语言的修改润色,提高可读性。 同样的,如果可以提供语言编辑证书,更可以打消编辑对语言方面的疑虑,关注在研究发现的本身。 (Our manuscript has been reviewed by a native English speaker and revised to improve readability) Ben Mudrak, PhD Global Communications Manager PhD, Molecular Genetics and Microbiology Duke University 以上内容是节选自AJE公司供职的Ben Mudrak 博士的 博客文章“Responding to Reviewers: You Can't Always Say What You'd Like” Ben Mudrak 博士 毕业于杜克大学的生物学博士,研究领域Molecular Genetics and Microbiology
根据不同的机构要求,您可以通过出版一系列论文或者撰写一部厚书式的论文来完成博士学位。本文针对那些花费几个月时间完成一篇数百页论文的人。我们可能会为论文最终出世感到骄傲,但我们随后会意识到:大多数研究者更愿意阅读这项研究中特定的那部分:可能是一份10页长的论文,而不是费力翻看400页的成果。只有与您相同的博士生,才愿意读完并花费整周时间理解它……因此,对于大多数厚书式论文作者来说,就需要在论文发表后,重新审视所有的材料,将一篇学位论文变为多篇期刊论文。如果您足够幸运找到一个研究型的博士后职位,您就拥有(或者至少,您认为您有)充足时间撰写论文。如果您涉足其他行业,那么您就只能在晚上或者周末才能进行论文写作了。不考虑时间限制,将您的学位论文转化为期刊文章仍是非常有价值的事情。在论文答辩结束后的两年,我就要完成论文改写了(一些论文发表了,有一些在评审,还有的正在写作)。下面是我这段经历的一些总结。 1 、做好计划 在毕业后,生活日常将接管一切。您可能会更换工作,搬到其他地方、城市甚至国家,您可能开始把这些论文抛诸脑后。趁您的论文还未尘封,花些时间想想下面的问题: ——哪一章/节可以作为一篇不错的期刊论文? ——我该向哪一本杂志投稿? ——我应该花费多少时间写这篇论文? 之后您便可以开始一篇一篇地规划。我一直在用谷歌电子表格罗列论文概述、想投稿的期刊还有自己规定的最后期限。我的目标是每年完成六篇初稿,但是有几个月时间我完全都是在处理审稿人意见,提供新项目的研究报告或者从事教学工作。我通常给我的合作作者(最多)一个月时间反馈他们的意见。不过这些反馈经常很有限,我需要花费一个上午作出修改之后再提交。 只要前一篇草稿完成,我就会开始着手下一篇(或回复审稿人的意见、反复修改手稿),因此,我的写作、修改、发送给共同作者和提交过程环环相扣、紧密相连。 2 、招募优秀合作作者 既然您与论文委员会成员合作得十分愉快,也落实他们对您学位论文终稿的修改建议。您研究中是否有某个部分尤其收益于他们?如果您打算撰写一个此主题的论文,考虑一下邀请该委员会成员作为合作作者。 与其他作者合著比和导师完成对你的写作更有益,这一方式通常在大多数领域广受欢迎。与不同的作者一起发表文章表明,你具备同研究团体和大学人员一起研究的能力,并准备把触角伸到世界性的工作。 3 、记住不是所有论文生而相同 您学位论文中可能只有不多的部分可以直接扩展成新论文。而当您强行试着将研究的一部分改写成另外的独立论文时,您可能会焦虑和叹息。不要为自己或论文成品感到崩溃——试着接受事实。如果您经受了太多挫折,您可以去健身房,吃点巧克力,或者做些能缓解压力的事情。 原文作者: Eva Lantsoght, Assistant Professor, Universidad San Francisco de Quito 点击阅读英文原文 其他相关文章: 如何找到适合你的学术导师? 如何构建科技论文初步框架
