一、理解 Resubmission 的重要性
收到 Major Revision 或 Minor Revision 的決定,代表您的論文有很大機會被接受。根據統計:
| 決定類型 | 最終接受率 | 平均修改時間 |
|---|---|---|
| Minor Revision | 85-95% | 2-4 週 |
| Major Revision | 50-70% | 1-3 個月 |
| Reject and Resubmit | 20-40% | 3-6 個月 |
關鍵洞察:
- ✅ Minor Revision 幾乎等於接受,只需細心處理
- ✅ Major Revision 是真正的考驗,需要大幅改進
- ✅ Reject and Resubmit 需要重新審查,成功率較低
二、Resubmission 的黃金原則
2.1 逐點回應所有意見
絕對不要:
- ❌ 忽略任何審稿意見(即使是小問題)
- ❌ 只回應「重要」的意見
- ❌ 假設審稿人會記得之前的內容
正確做法:
✅ 為每個意見編號並逐點回應
✅ 即使是格式問題也要確認已修改
✅ 使用 Point-by-Point Response 格式
✅ 明確標示所有修改位置(頁數、行數)
✅ 為每個意見編號並逐點回應
✅ 即使是格式問題也要確認已修改
✅ 使用 Point-by-Point Response 格式
✅ 明確標示所有修改位置(頁數、行數)
2.2 在期限內提交
時間管理:
| 決定類型 | 建議提交時間 | 最晚期限 |
|---|---|---|
| Minor Revision | 2-3 週 | 4 週 |
| Major Revision | 6-8 週 | 3 個月 |
| Reject and Resubmit | 2-4 個月 | 6 個月 |
超過期限怎麼辦?
1. 在期限前 1 週聯繫編輯
2. 說明需要延期的原因
3. 提供新的預計提交日期
4. 大多數編輯會同意合理的延期(1-2 個月)
1. 在期限前 1 週聯繫編輯
2. 說明需要延期的原因
3. 提供新的預計提交日期
4. 大多數編輯會同意合理的延期(1-2 個月)
2.3 保持專業與謙遜
語氣範例:
❌ 避免的表達:
"The reviewer is wrong about this point."
"We disagree with this comment."
"This suggestion is unnecessary."
"The reviewer is wrong about this point."
"We disagree with this comment."
"This suggestion is unnecessary."
✅ 建議的表達:
"Thank you for this valuable suggestion."
"We appreciate the reviewer's concern and have addressed it by..."
"While we understand the reviewer's perspective, we respectfully offer an alternative interpretation..."
"Thank you for this valuable suggestion."
"We appreciate the reviewer's concern and have addressed it by..."
"While we understand the reviewer's perspective, we respectfully offer an alternative interpretation..."

審稿意見:
Reviewer #1, Comment #3:
"Please add a brief discussion of the study's limitations in the Discussion section."
Reviewer #1, Comment #3:
"Please add a brief discussion of the study's limitations in the Discussion section."
回應:
Response:
Thank you for this important suggestion. We have now added a comprehensive Limitations section in the Discussion (Page 19, Lines 385-402). This section addresses:
1. Sample size and generalizability (Lines 387-392)
2. Self-reported data limitations (Lines 393-397)
3. Cross-sectional design constraints (Lines 398-402)
We believe this addition strengthens the manuscript by providing a balanced assessment of our findings.
Changes made:
- Added new subsection "Limitations" (Page 19, Lines 385-402)
- Included three main limitation categories
- Discussed implications for interpreting results

Week 5-6: 重寫討論和方法部分
Week 7: 補充文獻和調整圖表
Week 8: 撰寫 Response Letter 和最後檢查
4.3 處理複雜要求
情況 1:需要補充實驗
審稿意見:
"The authors should validate their findings using an independent dataset."
"The authors should validate their findings using an independent dataset."
可行時的回應:
Response:
We agree that validation with an independent dataset would strengthen our conclusions. We have now:
1. Collected an independent validation dataset (n=85) from a different institution (Page 10, Lines 198-205)
2. Applied our model to this new dataset (Page 15, Table 5)
3. Demonstrated consistent performance (accuracy: 87% vs. 89% in original dataset)
4. Discussed the implications of cross-dataset validation (Page 18, Lines 365-372)
These additions confirm the generalizability of our findings.
Response:

1. Collected an independent validation dataset (n=85) from a different institution (Page 10, Lines 198-205)
2. Applied our model to this new dataset (Page 15, Table 5)

4. Discussed the implications of cross-dataset validation (Page 18, Lines 365-372)
These additions confirm the generalizability of our findings.
不可行時的回應:
Response:
We appreciate this valuable suggestion. However, obtaining an independent validation dataset within the revision timeframe is not feasible due to [specific constraints: e.g., rare disease population, institutional access limitations, ethical approval requirements].
As an alternative, we have:
1. Conducted a rigorous internal cross-validation (10-fold CV, Page 14, Figure 4)
2. Performed sensitivity analyses to test robustness (Page 15, Table 5)
3. Compared our results with published external validation studies (Page 18, Lines 358-365)
4. Explicitly acknowledged this limitation and proposed it as future work (Page 20, Lines 410-415)
We believe these additions provide substantial evidence of our model's reliability while acknowledging the need for future external validation.

情況 2:需要重新分析數據
審稿意見:
"The statistical analysis is inappropriate. The authors should use mixed-effects models instead of simple linear regression."
"The statistical analysis is inappropriate. The authors should use mixed-effects models instead of simple linear regression."
回應:
Response:
Thank you for this critical methodological suggestion. Upon re-evaluation, we agree that mixed-effects models are more appropriate for our nested data structure (students within schools).
We have now:
1. Re-analyzed all data using linear mixed-effects models (LMMs) with random intercepts for schools (Page 12, Lines 238-245)
2. Updated all results tables and figures (Pages 14-17, Tables 3-5, Figures 3-4)
3. Revised the statistical methods section with detailed model specifications (Page 11, Lines 220-235)
4. Updated the Results and Discussion sections to reflect the new findings (Pages 14-19)
Key changes in findings:
- The main effect of intervention remains significant (β=0.42, p<0.001, previously β=0.38)
- School-level variance accounts for 15% of total variance (ICC=0.15)
- The revised analysis strengthens our conclusions by properly accounting for clustering
We thank the reviewer for improving the methodological rigor of our study.
