Abstract Peer-review is an integral part of the scientific process, but getting a sufficient number of busy scientists to provide constructive reviews on a manuscript can be a challenge. The majority of individuals that we polled have had experience in the last two years with having manuscripts rejected and then submitting them elsewhere and/or with receiving invitations to review the same manuscript for different journals. Many experienced these events multiple times in that period. Authors who have had manuscripts rejected from journals after review have the opportunity to improve their manuscripts in light of reviewer comments. However unless the next journal to receive the manuscript has the technical means to transfer reviews from the previous journal, most journals treat these submissions as if they had not undergone peer review. Providing authors the option to submit responses to previous reviewer comments with details about how the manuscript has been revised since rejection from the previous journal is a practical means to increase the efficiency of peer review, requiring fewer reviews and leading to more rapid publication. Pedobiologia – Journal of Soil Ecology invites authors to include previous reviewer reports and detailed responses with new submissions.

Pedobiology 同行评审综述——土壤生态学杂志

摘要 同行评审是科学过程中不可或缺的一部分，但让足够数量的忙碌科学家对手稿提供建设性的评审可能是一项挑战。我们调查的大多数人在过去两年中都有过稿件被拒绝然后将其提交到其他地方和/或收到为不同期刊审阅同一稿件的邀请的经历。在那个时期，许多人多次经历这些事件。稿件在审稿后被期刊拒绝的作者有机会根据审稿人的意见改进稿件。然而，除非下一个接收稿件的期刊有技术手段从前一个期刊转移评论，否则大多数期刊将这些提交视为没有经过同行评审。为作者提供对先前审稿人评论的回复的选项，其中详细说明自上一期刊被拒绝后手稿的修改情况，这是提高同行评审效率、减少评审并加快发表速度的实用手段。Pedobilogia - Journal of Soil Ecology 邀请作者在新提交中包含以前的审稿人报告和详细回复。
