在今年元月份投了个SCI期刊，很快就有回复，第一个审稿很仔细提了很多细致的问题，如字词的删减。第两人倒是很简单。最后期刊的意见是“小修”

Comments for the Author:Reviewer #1: This is an interesting study of trends in citation in the Chinese literature. The methods are standard but the data set is new and there is a good analysis of the results. The graphs are lovely too!
I recommend acceptance but with major revisions for language, with proof-reading by a native English speaker being needed.
Specific comments:.....
Reviewer #2: This paper explored, using three indicators, the citing behavior of Chinese scholars in four fields during the past thirty years. The measuring methods are correct and the findings and interesting. 
Some suggestions:.......

在四月初把修改稿投过去，很快又有意见了，又是“小修”
第二个很简单的一句话“Reviewer #2: The author has revised the manuscript according to the comments. It could be published now.

本来想按照编辑的意见，逐条修改了语言就应该OK了，谁知这个审稿人很快又有反馈消息:“Minor revisions”
Comments for the Author:
Reviewer: This is OK to publish now but I still recommend a final proof-reading by a native English speaker now . The language is understandable and approximately correct througout but proof-reading would make it easier to read and would ensure that the paper had the audience that it deserves.

只好找了个native English speaker ，整篇修改了一番，果然还存在大量的语法错误，上星期投出，两天后录用。

Dear Prof. ,

We are pleased to inform you that your manuscript, "***", has been accepted for publication in
*.

You will be contacted about proofs and offprints in due course by our Manufacturing Department.  Any queries concerning your manuscript should now be addressed to 。。。

在这次投稿中有以下几点感想：

国外与国内在科学研究论文方面的差别很大，自己的国内论文也投很多了，一般情况下只有两种情况，录用或退稿，偶尔有的期刊要求退修改，也是简单的几句话。

自己幸运，论文存在许多的错误，遇到好审稿人，没有被毕掉，相反，提出许多改进的建议。

审稿人负责任，作为审稿这样的义务劳动，而且是匿名的，审稿人光打字就要花不少时间，可以说审的比写的还认真！这样的审稿对论文的提高是很有帮助。

自己英语水平需要大大的提高，有些常见的小语法错误在论文中重复出现了多次。
