投稿SCI论文的时候，期刊编辑或者审稿专家说稿件存在很多语言问题，要求进行润色怎么办呢？

SCI期刊对英语有较高的要求，一般容易在两个环节被期刊编辑或者审稿专家提出语言问题，要求进行英语母语润色。在将SCI论文投稿至SCI期刊系统后，期刊编辑会文章的语言进行初审，如果期刊编辑发现文章有较多的语言问题，往往会要求作者进行语言润色，这个环节叫期刊的语言初审。此外，在外审专家审稿的意见中，我们也很容易看到关于语言方面的负面评论，如：

The writing of the paper needs improvement with the assistance of English editing.

There are too many typos and spelling errors in the article. Authors should re-read the article very carefully.

The article is written in reasonably discrete English, although terms inappropriate to scientific language are often used and must be revised. The order of the paragraphs (and some titles) should be reviewed.

The manuscript need an in depth revision for the English language because there are several grammatical, punctuation related as well as paraphrasing related errors.

语言问题虽然不会导致拒稿，但是会影响审稿专家对文章的理解，降低审稿专家对文章的评价。因此，收到语言方面的负面评价后建议按照专家的意见认真修改文章，并按照审稿专家或者期刊编辑的意见，进行英文母语润色，以解决文章的语言问题。很多期刊都有合作的语言润色公司，您可以使用他们推荐的润色公司。当然他们的价格也往往较为昂贵。您也可以自己寻找其他的论文润色公司，比如咨询同事、师兄师姐们哪些润色公司较好。也可以在网络上搜索润色服务。

按照期刊编辑或者审稿专家的意见进行论文润色后，您依旧需要再专家意见回复信中明确告诉审稿专家或者期刊编辑您已经按照他们的意见进行母语润色了，并附上润色公司提供的润色证明。意见回复的格式可以参考下述格式：
