どのような状況で査読を急ぐことが多いか

大学院生最終学年の論文審査前ですね

日本の研究室では毎年秋の風物詩となっています
ただこれには制度として賛否両論があります
査読を急ぐあまり、投稿先のジャーナルのレベルを下げざるをえなくなるなどのデメリットがあります
これに対して一部の大学では自大学内での論文審査で卒業の可否を決定し、ジャーナルへのアクセプトは求めないなどの制度を作っています

逆に査読をジャーナルに任せることで、自大学のリソースを大きく使わずに論文の質を担保できるというメリットがあります
はやりのビジネスプロセルアウトソーシング(BPO)ですね

査読を急いで欲しい時にどうしたらよいか

査読を急ぐような状況にならないことです。
余裕を持って論文作成に取り掛かりましょう
２年、ないし４年はとても短いです

どうしても査読を急いで欲しい

お願いはするけど、自己主張はしすぎず、死ぬほど丁寧に波風立たない文面を練りましょう。

そして何よりも、revisonを１発で通りましょう

・投稿から時間が経っていることをアピールするパターン

Dear Editor,

Our paper intitled [XX] has been submitted to the [XXX] journal in [DATE1], after 6 months we received the reviewers’ remarks that were taken into consideration while revising the paper. In [DATE2] (3 months ago), we re-submitted the revised version and we answered all the reviewers’ comments in separated letter.

Currently, I have a time constraint to defend my thesis that requires a published journal paper, for this reason I am wondering if there is a possibility to have the results of reviewing our revised paper in the best short time please?

Thank you

Best Regards,
