問題:我的審稿人直言指出我沒有在引言的地方清楚定義關鍵詞。您能否談談並舉例如何在研究論文中定義關鍵詞?

審稿人常常對作者使用特定詞彙的方法有所要求,他們可能會禮貌的建議增加一些解釋。比較苛刻的審稿人可能會假設作者不了解他們的領域,或不夠批判和反思,進而要求作者做大幅度的修改。

期刊論文通常沒有足夠的空間讓您解釋所有的注意事項、爭論的歷史、以及某些特殊詞彙迂迴的背景。

倘若期刊允許呈現較長篇幅的內容,您即有空間可以更明確說明並解釋您所使用的字詞,口試委員也預期看到有爭議的概念和棘手的術語被延伸、討論,但對讀者來說,他們主要想要從您的文章得到新的東西,讀者不需要冗長的解釋,他們只想要知道您如何使用詞彙,然後就繼續看下去。
