COMMENTS FROM EDITORS AND REVIEWERS
Dear Dr. XXXX,
the reviewing process of your paper is now completed. Both reviewers are in favour of a publication, but request quite a number of changes and additions. I fully agree with this and decided that overall a major revision is needed before publication. Further editorial remarks are:
* The language needs some improvement. Please ask for professional help. Elsevier has no language editing service.
* Please consider in particular the comments no. 2-4 and 6 of reviewer 2 concerning the experimental part. They are essential for a successful revision.
* Line 65 and else in the manuscript: Please always a space between number and unit (e.g. 200 mM, 25 癈).
* Experimental part: Please add the quality of the chemicals.
* Line 107: The HPLC column has to be specified more precisely (pore size, polymeric or monomeric, end-capped etc.).
* Line 136: Please add the electrospray ionisation conditions.
* Line 164 and else: Please no dots between measuring units, just a space.
* Due to international agreements also our journal is obliged to require some quality assurance data which prove the quality and validity of experimental data (e.g. use of reference materials for control, recovery studies, blanks etc.). Please add such information.
* Please use international abbreviations for journals. Please use the ISI list under
http://library.caltech.edu/reference/abbreviations/. No "dots" after full words such as "Chemosphere".
* Please Figure captions on a separate page.
* Please give error bars in figures 2 and 4. I assume that you have not carried out the experiment only once.
* Please do not just connects measuring points in figures 2 and 4, try a curve fitting.
Please list all items you have changed in a reply letter or a separate list. If you disagree with some statements and proposals of the reviewers, please comment on them in a separate letter and give convincing reasons why you could not follow them. Please submit the revised version both in original and with the changes marked.
Please also observe the latest guidelines for preparation of manuscripts for Chemosphere. They are available in the internet under
http://ees.elsevier.com/XXXX/default.asp by clicking on guide for authors.
Please inform us within 10 days from the receipt of the letter, if you will revise the manuscript. Otherwise, it will be erased from our list. We have considerable problems with slowly or not responding authors. To shorten the time between submission and publication, you should send your revised manuscript within 60 days. After this period, it will be considered as a new submission leading to a corresponding delay.
Yours sincerely
Prof.XXXX
