17年发表在Springer上的一项研究表示，超过80%的文章需要1个月以上的时间才能收到第一次回复，而整个审稿过程平均需要17周才能完成。

很多作者投稿后长期处于这种状态“With editor”或者“Under review”。如果论文在很长时间内都没有送出去外审或迟迟收不到审稿意见，可以尝试着写一下催稿信（Reminder letter），给编辑大人点压力，让他加快工作进程。

写催稿信会不会被退稿？

完全不会！那种传说中一发催稿信（Reminder letter）就被退稿的情形，小鹿和周围的人都没有遇到过。相反，这样的行为会让编辑认为作者很重视给他们期刊投稿。

当然，如果催稿太频繁，编辑肯定会很烦的。以下这篇催稿信模板供大家参考

Dear Dr. John,

Sorry for disturbing you. I am not sure if it is the right time to contact you to inquire about the status of my submitted manuscript titled “Paper Title”. (ID: 文章稿号), although the status of “With Editor” has been lasting for more than two months, since submitted to journal three months ago. I am just wondering that my manuscript has been sent to reviewers or not?

I would be greatly appreciated if you could spend some of your time check the status for us. I am very pleased to hear from you on the reviewer’s comments.

Thank you very much for your consideration.

Best regards!

Yours sincerely,

xxx
