主干主语：editor-in-chief Marcia McNutt；谓语：announced；宾语：The journal Science is adding an extra round of statistical checks to its peer-review process
结构该句子采用主谓倒装结构，主句“editor-in-chief Marcia McNutt announced today”置于后部，前面插入“The journal Science is adding an extra round of statistical checks to its peer-review process”作为时间状语成分，起到强调政策变化的作用。句子中“editor-in-chief Marcia McNutt”是插入语，对宣布者身份和职位进行同位说明。主干为添加统计检查的动作，宾语是“peer-review process”，通过倒装和插入语增加了句子复杂度，符合新闻体正式宣布风格。
译文科学杂志期刊社主编马西娅·麦克纳特今天宣布，该期刊将对同行评审流程增加额外的统计检查环节。

4Vaux says that Science’s idea to pass some papers to statisticians “has some merit, but a weakness is that it relies on the board of reviewing editors to identify ‘the papers that need scrutiny’ in the first place”.
主干主语：Vaux；谓语：says；宾语：that Science’s idea to pass some papers to statisticians “has some merit, but a weakness is that it relies on the board of reviewing editors to identify ‘the papers that need scrutiny’ in the first place”
