今天我为《Remote Sensing Applications: Society and Environment》审一篇综述文章,可能是我审的综述文章比较少,少见多怪,也有可能这个期刊特别要求,除了常规的Reviewer Comments之外,这个期刊还要求审稿人回答几个问题。这些问题也可以给我们写综述文章提供一定的参考,写综述文章时可以自问这些问题。
1. Do the authors explain the reason for writing a review article in this field?
Please provide suggestions to the author(s) on how to better justify their reasons. Please number each suggestion so that the author(s) can more easily respond. (Limit 20000 Characters)
该问题有点类似于我们普通文章的研究动机,作者要给出写该领域综述的原因。
*2. Does the review article provide a good overview of the development of the field while providing insights on its future development?
Please list the historical developments of likely future scenarios that the author(s) should add or emphasize more. Please number each suggestion so that the author(s) can more easily respond. (Limit 20000 Characters)
文章是否很好地提供了该领域发展的概况,并就未来发展趋势提供见解?
*3. Do the authors adequately represent the most relevant and recent advances in the field?
Please provide suggestions to the author(s) on how to improve their reference list to include the relevant topics and cover both historical references and recent developments. Please number each suggestion so that the author(s) can more easily respond. (Limit 20000 Characters)
文章是否充分代表了该领域最相关和最新的进展?
*4. Is the review reported in sufficient detail to allow for its replicability and/or reproducibility (e.g., search strategies disclosed, inclusion criteria and risk of bias assessment for individual studies stated, summary methods specified)?
Please provide suggestions to the author(s) on how to improve the replicability/reproducibility of their review. Please number each suggestion so that the author(s) can more easily respond. (Limit 20000 Characters)
综述写得是否足够详细,这里与普通研究文章一样,也要强调可复制性或可再现性,比如说作者是否披露了文献检索策略,检索之后的文献,作者如何清洗或者筛选相关文献,我想这个问题重点看作者检索的文献全不全面。
*5. Is the statistical summary method (e.g., meta-analysis, meta-regressions) and its reporting (e.g., P-values, 95% CIs, etc.) appropriate and well described?
Please clearly indicate if the review requires additional peer review by a statistician. Kindly provide suggestions to the author(s) on how to improve the statistical analyses, controls, sampling mechanism, or statistical reporting. Please number each suggestion so that the author(s) can more easily respond. (Limit 20000 Characters)
文章是否用了统计学方法,如果用了统计学方法,是否需要额外增加统计学家为审稿人?有些综述文章用了荟萃分析(meta-analysis),使用了一些统计方法,涉及到异质性分析、合并效应值计算和检验等等,这些内容或有增加额外审稿人的必要。一般医学类文章用荟萃分析的比较多,我们写论文如果用了荟萃分析,小心别犯比较愚蠢的错误就行。
*6. Does the review structure, flow or writing need improving (e.g., the addition of subheadings, shortening of text, reorganization of sections, or moving details from one section to another, following PRISMA guidelines)?
Please provide suggestions to authors on how to improve the review structure and flow. Please number each suggestion so that the author(s) can more easily respond. (Limit 20000 Characters)
这点没什么好说的,文章结构、流程是否合理?
