很多时候, 审稿人审稿后会认为作者在文献综述和讨论部分写得不好,文献综述可能只综述了作者自己本国的文献或者很多重要的文献没有在综述中提到, 在讨论部分只局限于本文所得结果的讨论, 视野不够开阔, 没有将研究结果与国内外相关研究作对比分析, 因此, 审稿人会建议作者阅读和引用审稿人列出的其它文献.

       有些审稿人的建议非常好, 推荐作者阅读的文献也恰如其分,即使是审稿人自己的文章或者自己团队的文章，如果与所审稿件的内容直接相关，这无可厚非。如果审稿人推荐作者引用的文献不完全是从文章本身出发，而是为了提高审稿人自己和自己团队的论文的被引频次，或者是为了提高（审稿人做主编或者编委或者是编辑）某一期刊的被引频次，这种推荐就会有审稿人在滥用权力的嫌疑。

      在将审稿人的意见发给作者之前，编辑人员需要认真地分析审稿人的推荐意见，以便作出正确的判断和向作者提出合理的建议，当然作者也可以根据自己的理解，酌情考虑审稿人推荐引用的文献。

       下面是一份审稿意见的示例。在此，不便讨论审稿人是否滥用职权，但就从审稿人推荐作者引用的10多篇文章基本上都是审稿人自己的文章和审稿人作为编辑的那个期刊的文章来看，这份审稿意见是需要认真分析的。

Dear author,
In my opinion your paper needs a general introduction that will show that there is an interaction of vegetation and erosion
Plants can control the soil losses, and usually we measured the plant cover.
See some examples
Cerdà, A., Doerr, S. 2005 The influence of vegetation recovery on soil hydrology and erodibility following fire: an eleven-year research. International Journal of Wildland Fire 14(4): 423-437 *pdf http://dx.doi.org/10.1071/WF05044
Cerdà, A. 1998. The influence of aspect and vegetation on seasonal changes in erosion under rainfall simulation on a clay soil in Spain. Canadian Journal of Soil Science, 78, 321-330.
And the interaction between vegetation and erosion
Cerdà, A. & P. García-Fayos, P. 2002. The influence of seed size and shape on their removal by water erosion. Catena, 48, 293-301.

Vegetation also play a key role on landslides, and there is where roots play a key role,
This is what you should highlight in your introduction that should have a broad view.

And this is because there a clear relationship between soil erosion and vegetation cover
