春节假期结束,科研人开启了乙巳蛇年的科研苦恼:国自然提交截止时间、毕业论文发表截止时间等属于2025年上半年的各色标书提交、论文发表截止时间将接踵而至。不管大家有没有利用春节假期完成国自然标书/毕业论文,在2025年度的众多科研烦恼中,最令人头疼的应该就是论文被拒了吧。甚至在知乎上还有一个提问:
论文被编辑直接拒稿是一种什么样的体验?心态崩了呀
下面有网友回复:论文投稿本来就是有一定运气成分,被拒稿太正常了啊。 换个期刊投呗。
有的则是自信代表,表示是对方编辑不识货,我那么好的论文,咋就看不出好坏呢,没个眉眼高低。
还有用身边的真实悲惨经历,安慰题主的。有一个师兄
被拒稿28次
,但最终还是发出来了。拒稿就拒了呗,多写几篇同时投,总会有中的hhh。
更有网友表示:啥叫啥叫效率?晚上十点才投稿完毕,喝口水歇歇腰喘喘气,十一点还没躺床上,就收到拒稿信了,这就是效率。。。
还有在我们解螺旋推文下方也有小伙伴留言:一个内科学,以病例为多的杂志,不知道为何进入黑名单?这个杂志不是传言的来者不拒的,2021年投了一篇新冠review,被reject,转投14分多的QJM被accept。
小编倒是觉得,可能是这位小伙伴的文章不够水,不能被水刊接受。
当然,大部分朋友收到的拒稿信都是比较委婉或干脆的,但总有一些倒霉蛋,他们收到的拒稿信堪称
史上最奇葩的评审拒稿意见。比如这个流传很广,也最狠的:
The writing and data presentation are so bad that I had to leave work and go home early and then spend time to wonder what life is about. I would suggest that we set up a fund that pays for the red wine reviewers may need to digest manuscripts like this one. Please reject it completely and then block the author’s email ID so they can’t use the online system in future.
翻译:这货的写作水平和展示的数据太流(sha)弊(bi)了,哥不得不提前下班,匆匆回家,然后花时间思考下人生。。。哥建议我们还是成立个基金,以买单审稿人审阅时可能需要的红酒,哥上火呀。请勿发表,并建议锁定该作者的电子邮件ID,避免此人日后继续投稿。。。
The journal editor stated that our manuscript was rejected. We were shocked that the reviewer’s comments read “fuck you” (handwritten on a torn strip of paper scotch-taped to the editor’s letter to us)
翻译:期刊编辑毙了我们的文章,因为审稿人意见是“哔~~~”(审稿人在回复编辑的信上贴了张便条上书了这一审稿意见)
I am generally very happy to provide extensive suggestions and comments on manuscripts, but this submission was an absolute waste of my time.
翻译:我平时还蛮喜欢给人家审稿提供意见的,但这篇绝对是浪费我的绳命。
I found the paper a challenge to evaluate, expecting some profound methodological or theoretical insight. Yet none appeared to be forthcoming.
翻译:我觉得这篇文章试图去挑战发现一些高大上的方法和理论,然并卵。
The introduction, general approach and data analyses are somewhat anachronistic–this study would have been really interesting 10-15 years ago, but now it seems quite out of date.
翻译:十几年前这会是个挺有趣的研究,但现在。。。
The presentation is of a standard that I would reject from an undergraduate student.
翻译:就算回到本科时期,我也会拒掉这种文章。
Reject – More holes than my grandad’s string vest!
翻译:拒发,这货的漏洞比我爷爷网眼背心上的洞还多!
The biggest problem with this manuscript, which has nearly sucked the will to live out of me, is the terrible writing style.
翻译:这篇文章问题太多了,特别是这个写作风格,简直摧残了哥身体里求生的意志。
Hopeless - Seems like they have been asleep and are not up on recent work on metagenomics.
翻译:简直没希望了他们....看来作者要么睡着了,要么完全没跟上宏基因组学的前沿发展。
The writing and data presentation are so bad that I had to leave and go home early and then spend time to wonder what life is about.
翻译:手稿和数据让我整个人都不好了,不得不提前下班,然后开始怀疑人生
It's hard for me to understand why it takes 5 authors to perform and describe one simple experiment.
翻译:我很难理解为啥需要5个作者来阐述这么简单的一个问题
If I had known this would be sucj an easy one to review(reject!), I would have done it earlier instead of waiting for my dog to have a baby.
翻译:拒了,早晓得审稿如此简单,我就该早做了而不是等我家狗生完
以上还只是那些要发表的论文,本科生或硕博生的毕业论文才是被“拒稿”的重灾区。
不少学生对于自己所学习的专业非常自信,到了写毕业论文的时候,洋洋洒洒上万字。但其实是在导师眼里,你写的到底是什么玩意儿?
但不得不说现在的人工智能,真的很智能。在导师审阅之前,邮箱就已经先替他们初筛了一波。有学生表示发邮件给老师后,系统直接判定为“
疑似垃圾邮件
”。看来这导师的邮箱里全是高质量文章,要想混入其中,根本用不着老师出手。
导师们改论文时饱满的情绪连冷冰冰的 AI 都能感同身受,背后的原因真叫人工智能暖心。
