Dear Editor,
Attached please find our revised article entitled: LEL - a Newly Designed Molecular descriptor, authored by:
Dragan Stevanović,a Aleksandar Ilić,a Cristina Onişorb and Mircea V. Diudeab*
aFaculty of Sciences and Mathematics, University of Niš, Višegradska 33, 18000 Niš, Serbia
bFaculty of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, “Babes-Bolyai” University,Arany Janos Str. 11, 400084, Cluj, Romania
to be considered for publication in: Acta Chimica Slovenica.
The article was revised taking into account the pertinent suggestions of the referees. The modified text is marked in green.
1. Reviewer: a lot of undefined abbreviations, in particular in the abstract, where also, main results should be more clearly stated.
2. Answer: we put explanations on several abbreviations, in particular in the abstract, and also, the main results were more clearly stated.
3. Reviewer: Introduction should be written in a way that the reader will get an impression of what is going on in the field and why this study was performed and how the results were obtained.
4. Answer: we extended explanation/motivation of the study and the ways of reaching the results.
5. Reviewer: The method section should be extended and a bit more self explanatory. Authors should perhaps consider some additional references such as, CROATICA CHEMICA ACTA Volume: 80 Issue: 3-4 Pages: 541-545 NOV 2007, CROATICA CHEMICA ACTA Volume: 80 Issue: 2 Pages: 271-276, JUN 2007, JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL INFORMATION AND MODELING Volume: 47 Issue: 3 Pages: 864-874 Published: MAY-JUN 2007.
6. Answer: we extended the explanations in this section and included the suggested references.7. Reviewer: Tables are far too messy and the caption should be self explanatory.8. Answer: caption of some tables (Table 2 and Table 5) was extended to detail the used
symbols.
9. Reviewer: Results section would greatly benefit if it would be better organized, abbreviations explained and also it would be great if authors can compare their approach to some others.
10. Answer: we tried to answer to the referee by enlarging explanations and also conclusions. Some comparison with results using other descriptors was already done, before conclusions.
11. Reviewer: Last but not least, the authors acknowledge program P1-0285 funded by ARRS but there is no Slovene address of any author.
12. Answer: we added the author’s missing Slovenian affiliation.
Sincerely,
Mircea V. Diudea
