审稿时间过长，怎么催？

一般 SCI 论文的审稿周期在3-6个月。如果你的文章还在审稿周期，且系统工作正常的话，建议不要催促审稿。

但如果的确超出了期刊的审稿周期，可以发一个简短的信件给编辑，问问审稿情况。通常我们把这种短信件称为“催稿信”。

以下为几种催稿信的形式：

（1）Dear Dr. ***,

I write concerning the progress of our paper. It was initiallysubmitted on November ***, 2019 and was assigned the manuscript number: ***. Now I am worrying about whether it still works normally because the submission has been kept "being processed" for about three months, as showed on editorial manager. Would you mind checking on the progress of it for me？ Your reply would be highly appreciated.

Thanks very much for your attention to our paper.

Yours sincerely,

***

（2）Dear Dr. ***,

I submitted our latest work to your journal last month. I want to know the review progress. If there are some responses from the reviewers, would you please tell me the results so that I can deal with it as early as possible？ Please understand me that fast publication of our work is important for me.

I appreciate your contribution to the publication of the high quality papers. Kind thanks to you for your care.

Best Regards.

Yours sincerely,

***

（3）Dear Dr. ***,

I am sorry to make you in trouble. It takes too long for reviewing my manuscript "***" which was submitted to "Journal title". Generally, only about two months are necessary for the reviewing progress on my usual submissions to other Journals. Hence, I decide to withdraw this submission.

I am sorry to make this decision. Please understand my condition because the rapid publication of my work is important for me and our group.

I hope that I have chance to get a rapid publication in this journal in future.

Thank you for your attention and kind help.

Best Regards.

Yours sincerely,

***

前两封，言辞恳切、客气，适合首次询问稿件的情况。如果情况属实，责任编辑会做出相应的说明。

最后一份，措辞相对严厉、有不客气的成分，适用于有严重的拖延，且作者也做了最坏的打算（改投它刊），一般首次催稿，不适用。
