第一次投英文文章,选了一个影响因素零点几的SSCI刊物,两天后收到责任编辑的回复,貌似对选题还是挺感兴趣的,但还是拒稿了,要求找他们杂志主页上推荐的润色公司修改一下,然后再调整一下引文格式然后重投。我浏览了一下他们主页上的推荐,润色下来估计得3000人民币,而且他们说什么不要相信自己本土的润色公司能做好之类的话,让我觉得有些反感。请问大家,我应该按照责编的要求做吗?(原回信附在后面,供大家参考)
另外这个刊物即使发表也可能会收高额版面费,所以我想改投别的刊物再撞撞运气,不知应该如何给这位责编回信?请各位大神们指导,谢谢!
责编回信原文:
Dear ***,
An initial review of "***" has made it clear that this submission would fit within the scope and focus of Social Behavior and Personality. However, before we approve it
for submission and review, we recommend that you consult an English editing
service (such as those listed on our website), because the paper would
greatly benefit from some strong editing. Also, check the formatting of
citations and references (you can compare these against our published
articles - there are some articles available for free download on our
website).
Thank you for considering*** as a venue for your work. We wish you
well in future publication of your research. I hope we will receive a
revised submission soon so we can proceed with what looks like an interest
research topic.
Regards,
***
