Should we input Chinese characters in a table of summarizing vernacular names in a Scientific Paper? or only write in Pinyin I got a comment from a reviewer  who suggested that i should remove Chinese character in the table which shows different names of a plant from different countries. Actually i typed pinyin( Chinese character), namely Ding Cao(丁草). I saw several published papers do the same thing. But i have no academic proof or authentic documents so far. So please share or give some consultancies if someone encountered. Thanks very much.
My suggestion differs from the reviewer. I think that for maximum readability across countries, your solution is very good. Including the local names as well as a translation when appropriate makes your results accessible for more people, especially as you are dealing with international data. Some kinds of research will depend on having the "official" name expressed in the local way. 

But, it may be that the reviewer is also concerned about the difficulty of typesetting your paper at that particular journal. They may be correct or not. It might be worth a note to the editor asking if including various non-Roman scripts in the paper will cause any difficulty. At this point in time they should not, but the editor will know for sure.
