当审核人收到此答复时,他已经提交了他的审查,并告知了该期刊,他还向高级作者发送了他的全部审查。审稿人还指出了一封电子邮件,编辑部办公室中发表的测量,其中一个被引用的研究(其中裁判是高级作者)没有在数据库中出现的表格中发表,然后指责senior author of having used information which he collected as a member of the reviewer’s research group a long time ago, and publishing it without the reviewer’s permission. The reviewer thought that the reference to the paper was not sufficient and also stated that the conditions with the mountain data were more serious.
The corresponding author emailed the editorial office offering to remove from the database any data that have been collected with the reviewer’s participation but emphasised that by doing so, the authors do not acknowledge any form of wrongdoing on their part, but seek to make it easier for the journal to make a decision.
