剛剛在PLOS ONE 上發(fā)了我讀碩期間的第一篇SCI文章，心里挺開心的。一個(gè)蟲友曾問我在這上面發(fā)文章的流程，希望我能出個(gè)技術(shù)貼~慚愧的是小弟我記憶力不是太好，投稿的流程忘了差不多了。其實(shí)我也是第一次投，就按雜志給的頁面一步步來的，沒有遇到什么困難~現(xiàn)在我把我投稿期間雜志給我發(fā)的郵件全都整理出來，希望能對(duì)大家有點(diǎn)幫助！

This is your last opportunity to correct any errors that are present in your manuscript files.
If you or your institution will be preparing press materials for this manuscript, you must inform our press team in advance. Please contact them at

Dear Mr Chen,
Re: "文章標(biāo)題"
Before we can formally accept your manuscript, a few revisions are required to enable us to move it quickly to live publication. Please log in to Editorial Manager to see the requested due date for this task (usually within five days of this request). If you require additional time, there is no penalty for submitting this task late. However, your publication date is dependent on how quickly you submit your revised file(s). If you expect to submit your task more than two weeks after the due date, please contact
ONE_Production@plos.org.
- Part of our process includes formatting the authors' affiliations in the manuscript to meet our style. For each affiliation, we show the department, organization, city, state, and country. Please help us prevent potential error by spelling out any acronyms and removing any street addresses and postal codes in your affiliations. Please ensure a city and country is included for EVERY affiliation on the list. Please note that the affiliations that are published are taken from the versions supplied in the manuscript text, not the versions in the online Editorial Manager. As long as they are correct in the text, they will be published faithfully. In particular, please include a department for affiliation 2.
- Please let us know by replying to this message what author contribution should be listed for each author in the online Editorial Manager. The author contributions in your published article will be derived from this information. The current list of contributions in the EM is empty. The possible categories are:
Conceived and designed the experiments:
Performed the experiments:
Analyzed the data:
Contributed reagents/materials/analysis tools:
Wrote the manuscript:
Other (please specify):
- Please provide your standalone display equations in Word Equation or MathType.
TO ACCESS YOUR MANUSCRIPT FILES:
1. Log in to
http://www.editorialmanager.com/pone/.2. From the Author Main Menu page click on "Current Task Assignments."
3. In the Action Column, click the "Assignment Files" option to access your manuscript files. If you don't see a small menu, click on the small + (plus) sign to the left of the word "Action" to open the menu of options.
TO UPLOAD AND SUBMIT REVISED MANUSCRIPT FILES
From the center of the "Submit Task" page, click "Upload File." Clearly label your new files in the Description field. If you need to communicate information about your file revisions, please use the editable email field on the Submit Task page to do so.
DO NOT click "Submit Production Task" until you have uploaded all necessary files. Once you submit this task, you will no longer be able to upload files to Editorial Manager. Note: At this stage our system no longer builds a PDF from your newly uploaded files.
THERE IS NO AUTHOR PROOFING. You should therefore consider the corrected files you upload now as equivalent to a production proof. The text you supply at this point will be faithfully represented in your published manuscript exactly as you supply it. This is your last opportunity to correct any errors that are present in your manuscript files. THE CORRESPONDING AUTHOR IS RESPONSIBLE, ON BEHALF OF ALL CO-AUTHORS, FOR THE ACCURACY OF ALL CONTENT, including spelling of author names and affiliations and completeness of funding information. Please check these carefully.
If you have any questions, please contact
ONE_Production@plos.org.
Best wishes,

PLOS ONE Pre-Publication Information
2012年7月28日, 星期六, 上午 8:01
Dear Dr. Chen,
We are pleased to announce that your article entitled “文章標(biāo)題” is tentatively scheduled to be published in PLOS ONE on 8/6/2012 with the press embargo ending at 2 p.m. Pacific Time (5 p.m. Eastern) on 8/6/2012. On publication, your paper will be available online at
http://dx.plos.org/*******. Please note that publication dates may change. In the event that your date must be changed, you will be notified of the new date as soon as possible. This is not a frequent occurrence, but can happen usually due to unforeseen technical issues.
Please note:
Note that this email is automatically sent to the co-author who acted as corresponding author prior to publication. If a co-author other than yourself is planning to act as corresponding author on this paper following publication, we ask that you pass this information along to him or her.
If your institution is planning a press release for your manuscript, they must contact our press team at
onepress@PLOS.org. For more information on our press polices please see our media policies page:
http://blogs.PLOS.org/everyone/media/Please now read the following items:
1. Create a PLOS ONE account – so you can be ready to respond to user comments
Before your paper is published, please also create an account on the PLOS ONE journal publication site, if you have not yet done so; this is independent of the manuscript submission and peer review system. When your paper is published, you will then be able to annotate or comment on the paper on the PLOS ONE site. When creating your PLOS ONE profile, we advise you to use the same email address you provided when submitting your paper. All co-authors are, of course, also welcome—and encouraged—to create an account and respond to any comments.
Most comments and questions on PLOS ONE papers are addressed directly to the authors. Thus, for the post-publication dialogue to succeed, it is essential for the authors to participate in the discussions and to respond promptly to readers’ commentary. Most comments and notes are posted during the first week or so after a paper’s publication. We therefore encourage you to visit your paper and to respond to comments about once per day during the first week and then occasionally during the subsequent weeks and months, as it is our intention that the discussion will continue long after the paper’s publication.
2. Discover how many people have downloaded your paper
PLOS recently started placing a range of ‘indicators of impact’ on every published paper, all of which can be found under the ‘Metrics’ tab on your article. These metrics include citations to the paper; detailed information on the online usage; comments, notes and ratings on the article; information about which people have ‘socially bookmarked’ your article; and links out to blog posts that have been made about the article. More information about this ‘Article-Level Metrics’ program can be found at:
http://article-level-metrics.PLOS.org/. We hope you will agree that this information is extremely valuable for both authors and readers, and once again demonstrates our commitment to providing world-class author tools and services in an Open Access environment. We encourage you to use the information on this tab to demonstrate the reach and impact of your article in the wider world. Note:
most of these metrics will accrue over time; however, be aware that usage data (although updated daily) will only be displayed after the article has been published for a couple of days.
3. Stay up-to-date with PLOS via our blog and other social media sites
In response to requests from our committed author and reader community we created everyONE, a blog (
http://everyone.PLOS.org) designed to provide additional information about the journal and its content. You can register to receive email delivery of all published blog articles at:
http://www.feedblitz.com/f/?Sub=562413. We also post to Twitter (
http://twitter.com/PLOSONE) and have an active Facebook page (
http://www.facebook.com/PLOS.org). 5. Order high-quality print copies of your article
As you know, all our content is freely available under a Creative Commons license. This means that anyone, including you, is at liberty to print and distribute as many copies as needed. We recognize, however, that some people desire high quality reprints and so we have partnered with Odyssey Press to offer 'EzReprint' services which provide professionally-printed copies of any article conveniently delivered direct to your door. To learn more about pricing or to order reprints, visit your article on PLOS ONE and click on the ‘EzReprint’ link on the top right portion of the screen.
6. Questions about your publication?
If you have questions about your manuscript *before* it publishes, please contact our Production department at
ONE_Production@PLOS.org.
If you wish to issue any corrections to your published paper, please send your request to
corrections@PLOS.org.
7. PubMed and PubMed Central
Upon publication, your article files are directly sent to PubMed Central. Please note: it may take up to two weeks -*after* your paper publishes in PLOS ONE- to be searchable via PubMed. This is due to technical checks PubMed conducts on the article files.
Thank you for your support and for choosing to publish with PLOS ONE.
