获知第一篇英文论文被接受已经有几天了，心情慢慢平静下来，一直也想写写自己的经验，但是看了几篇精华贴后越发感觉小木虫上面牛人太多，暗下决心以后要坚持上来看看。
写这篇帖子的目的主要为两点：一是记录下自己的投稿经历，毕竟对我来说能中这篇文章还是有些敝帚自珍的味道，二是潜水这么久了，献上一篇自己的原创，能搏诸看官会心一笑是最好不过了，在此抛砖引玉，草草下笔，还望大家多多指教。
话休烦絮，进入主题吧。
我是在MSEA上面投的文章，不敢对期刊作太多评论，主要讲投稿过程。
开始文章的创作是在去年7、8月份了吧，之前刚投了一篇中文的，等待中。
文章的创意主要来自我的大老板，他是单位一位德高望重的老专家。
包括以后的论文修改啊，很多都要归功于老师的帮助了。
大概在九月的时候完成了中文的初稿，然后把它翻译成英文（在是否需要先写中文再翻译为英文的问题上我还不大清楚），老板帮改了以后，我自己又改了一下就开始寻找刊物了，那时候我还没有开始接触小木虫，参考了几篇文献后，选好MSEA 后。
通过Elsevier进入了期刊的首页，那时什么都不懂，所有的东西包括文章的格式、语言和各种处理方法都要由Guide for Authors上面的介绍一一看来，着实吃力:rol:。
本文来自织梦按照上面的介绍把自己的文章大概的处理一下就投出去了，投的时候我都不知道什么叫“cover letter”，搜索然后请教课题组的师兄，然后在网上（应该是小木虫上面，我这时开始接触它了）搜索了一个模板套用一下，就于2008年10月22号匆匆投出去了。
很必然的，在几天后的某一天，我收到了编辑部的退稿信。
摘录部分如下：Dear ***,Your manuscript has been checked against formal technical criteria (structure of submission, adherence to the Guide for Authors and English language usage). I regret to inform you that we will not send your manuscript to the journal editor, as the English language usage has not met the desired standard.Before submitting future manuscripts, we strongly advise that you either seek the assistance of a native English-speaking colleague, or consult [url]http........[/url]...........我心里当然不好受啦，但是回头去看看稿件，我甚至都没有好好的核对系统返给我的PDF版本，到处是错误，图表格式不对并且一股脑都放文档里面了，现在想想都有点脸热啊:dnd:。
本文来自织梦其后认认真真的看Guide for Authors，然后请教图片的处理方式外加一些语言的修改。
