1.审稿意见分类
a.分类式回复:如果意见很多,可以试着将它们进行分类,例如将方法相关的意见分在一起、语言相关的一组等等,如果将意见进行分组,记得在信里提及“I have separated my responses to the reviewers’ comments according to several categories in order to achieve an integrated approach in my responses.”。
b.点列式回复:如果评审员的意见是长长的段落,可以将意见分离成点各别回应,如果不确定某项意见的意思,可以先解释自己对该意见的理解,然后再进行回复。
2.与审稿意见的分歧处理
同行评审的老师通常是领域内的专家,如果作者认为审稿人误解了论文里的任何段落,有时候很有可能是因为表达不够清楚。这种情况下,可以礼貌性的指出误解然后提供必要的说明。可以这么写“I am sorry that this part was not clear in the original manuscript. I should have explained that (……详细说明). I have revised the contents of this part”。

Reviewers' comments:
Reviewer #3: While revising the script, it is to be suggested that author should clearly indicate the aim & scope of the study and while making conclusion, it is to be mentioned how the study is useful for the practical purposes. In addition the following are the few suggestions/comments, which may be included while revision.
1. Introduction part first para last line, author must avoid to write ambiguous statement i.e., much work is still ahead, may indicate properly.
2. Author could not demonstrate the reason why, to select the organic compound such as ethyl pyruvate for this study?
3. Experimental part: It is difficult to understand the in-situ RAIRS experiments with homemade liquid-solid RAIRS cell. More detailed information may be useful for the others those who are working in the area. Photograph of the assembled cell may be included.
4. The description given for the experimental set up (page 4) can be presented by flow diagram instead, as an ease to understand the set up.
5. Resluts Part (Page 6): "CO adlayers with identical monolayer coverages", the monolayer coverage, is it been performed with some adsorption model? Further, it was suggested that CO-saturated Pt surface, but not mentioned about the saturation experiments. Is it obtained after 60 min of CO bubbling?
6. Page 12, 2nd para: The displacement of EtPy by CCl4 flushing, is it confirmed by the EtPy peaks? If so, it has to be mentioned clearly in the para. Also in the same para, author referred for Fig. 7a and 7b but in the figures, it didn't appear, only figure 7 appeared. I feel it refers for figure 7, portion A and B, to be corrected. Similarly, in the text referred the fig 2a, 2b. etc but on the figure sheet it is mentioned as 2A, 2B .etc. to be corrected.
7. Page 14, 1st para: 'contamination of the Pt surface by corrosion of o-rings in high concentration EtPy', but the statement has not been supported by other evidence/literature.
8. Pages 14 through 17: the observed reactivity of various solvents for adsorbed CO on the Pt surface (figs 3 & 4) has to be discussed more precisely. This reviewer is unable to follow the reason why they showed different reactivity, is it principally due to the organic moieties, or due to the impurities of commercially available chemicals or a mixed effect. It has to be clearly demonstrated, however, the only experiment performed with CO/water? CCl4 would difficult to describe it in detail.
9. The author try to restrain with repeated arguments in the text e.g., page 3 para 1: It was generalized that........., also appeared on page 21 first para.
10. Captions of the figures are too long, the detailed description already given in the text, hence would not be included here. Captions should be short and crispy.
===============================================
回复:
Dear Editor,
I quite appreciate your favorite consideration and the reviewer’s insightful comments. Now I have revised the JCIS-06-247 exactly according to the reviewer’s comments, and found these comments are very helpful. I hope this revision can make my paper more acceptable. The revisions were addressed point by point below.
[general] The objective of this research was added at the beginning of the third paragraph of Introduction. How the study is useful for practical purposes was added at the end of Conclusion as one paragraph.
[1] Ambiguous statement i.e., “much work is still ahead” was deleted.
[2] Ethyl pyruvate was used here as a typical compound (containing two carbonyl groups) to demonstrate the feasibility of using our diagnosing tool to detect low-coverage CO (coming from decarbonylation of EtPy) at the liquid-solid interface. EtPy is a reactant used in liquid-phase chiral catalysis, and slight decomposition of EtPy to adsorbed CO was reported to influence the catalytic performance. In addition, by studying that, we can directly compare our results with previous studies. More details in the first paragraph of Section 3.2.
[3] The IR cell was designed according to the IR cells used by many electrochemical workers. References were added. A photo was given in the Supporting Information.
[4] A flow diagram of the experimental setup was given in the new Fig. 1.
[5] The CO adsorption experiments were performed in the same adsorption mode, by bubbling CO through a clean Pt surface in different days to achieve the same saturation coverage of CO. Initial experiments indicated that given the CO bubbling rate was 0.85 cm3/min, CO can saturate on Pt after 30-45 min. We bubble CO for 60 min to guarantee the same CO coverage. If we bubble CO for more time, or if we increase the CO flowing rate several times, the CO saturation coverage doesn’t change, indicating 60 min is already enough. A figure showing the CO uptake as a function of bubbling time was given in the Supporting Information.
[6] The displacement of EtPy by CCl4 was confirmed by the removing of EtPy peaks. The mention of Fig. 7a and 7b etc. throughout the text were all corrected.
[7] It is known that some solvents such as acetone can corrode the Viton o-ring. We saw the damage of o-ring after using high-concentration EtPy. A reference to the Viton o-ring information was given.
[8] The observed reactivity trend is due to a combination of both effects, with the accumulation of organic moieties on Pt surface during numerous flushing cycles the more important reason. A few proper sentences were added to clarity this point.
[9] The repeated arguments in the first paragraph in Section 4.3 were deleted.
[10] The too-long captions were significantly shortened.
In all, I found the reviewer’s comments are quite helpful, and I revised my paper point-by-point. Thank you and the review again for your help!

不要直接回复yes 或 no。即使是被要求做一些小的修改,比如改正拼写错误的单词,你可以说“We 've corrected the typo.”。如果是更严重的错误,你还可以加上“We apologize for our error.”
04
尽可能让你的回复内容清晰明了。不要让审稿人或编辑为了找到你修改的地方而再次去阅读手稿。
所以,回复时不要说
“We’ve made the change. See page 5, line 24 of the revised paper”,
而是说“We’ve changed [original text] to [edited text] (page 5, line 24)”。
把修改部分直接明了地展示出来。
但如果你改写了整个段落或某个部分,
你可以这样回答:
“We have revised the text to address your concerns and hope that it is now clearer. Please see page 5 of the revised manuscript, lines 9–20, and page 6, lines 1–20.(我们已按照您的建议修改了文本,希望现在能符合要求。参见第5页,第9-20行,第6页,第1-20行。)”
05
不要忽略审稿人提出的任何建议。应该对每一条意见进行回复——要么做出修改,要么拒绝修改,但是要给出拒绝的理由。
选择明智的做法:即使有时候你不同意审稿人所提出的某些微小的修改建议,但通常对于细微的修改最明智的做法是接受建议,这也能表明你虚心接受建议。
06
在解释你为什么不同意审稿人的建议时,措辞要委婉。为了表明你的观点,你可以使用一些补充材料,如图表和表格,但这些补充材料不能是你论文中的材料。
当审稿人不能理解你的观点时,不要觉得他们是无知的。要去尝试理解审稿人为什么这样问,是不是因为自己表述不清导致审稿人不理解,审稿人关心的问题在哪。
因为作者本人是非常理解文章,但审稿人不一定知道全部的背景知识和实验过程。揣摩可以提高文章的表达能力,尽量避免误解。
07
要对每个审稿人的意见逐一做出回复,就好像他们是你的唯一审稿人一样。不要对一个审稿人说“Please see our answer to comment 34 of Reviewer #2”。
08
在最后结尾时,记得加上这样一句话:“We would like to thank the referee again for taking the time to review our manuscript.(再次感谢审稿人花时间来审阅我们的稿件。)”
