“我投的SCI论文,状态栏里那个‘Under Review’已经挂了150天了!是被录用还是被编辑遗忘了?”
如果您正在经历这种“学术黑洞”般的漫长等待,您并不孤单。根据查尔斯沃思Charlesworth的观察,当审稿周期超过4个月(约120天)时,流程中往往出现了“卡顿”或“审稿人难产”。
请记住:超过半年(如180天)的等待,既不代表一定“凉了”,也不代表一定“接受”,它只意味着——您需要主动行动了!
今天,我们准备了3个黄金催稿模板,覆盖最常见的3种情境,教您如何高情商、超专业地推动审稿进程!
“超长审稿”背后的3个真相
为什么您的稿件会长时间停滞?这其实是常态。了解真相,才能得体催稿:
01
审稿人集体“难产”:
这是最常见的原因。您的研究可能过于新颖或跨界,编辑在寻找愿意且有时间的专家时,遭遇了多次拒绝或拖延。
02
致命的“仲裁”机制启动:
如果两位审稿人的意见严重对立(一位接受,一位拒稿),编辑必须邀请第三位仲裁审稿人。这会额外增加1-3个月的等待时间。
03
编辑部“排队”积压:
审稿意见集齐后,稿件回到编辑手中,等待编辑做出最终裁决。对于高影响力期刊,这个“编辑裁决期”也可能非常漫长。
建议:当等待超过4个月,您的询问是合理且专业的。
独家定制:
3个黄金催稿模板与场景
催稿核心原则:对编辑部,永远是“询问进度”(Inquiry),而非“催促决定”(Urging)。
初次询问(>4个月时使用)
这是您在达到“催稿黄金线”(4个月)后,发出的第一封邮件。措辞务必礼貌,表达对工作的理解。
· 主题(Subject):Gentle Inquiry Regarding Manuscript [ID No.] - [Title]
· 英文模板(English Template):
Dear [Editor's Name/Editorial Office],
I hope this email finds you well.
I am writing to politely inquire about the current status of my manuscript, [ID No.], titled "[Manuscript Title]", which has been in the 'Under Review' status since [Date of Submission].
We understand the demanding commitment of the reviewers and the valuable time of the editorial team. Could you please provide an estimated timeline for the completion of this review round?
Thank you very much for your time and kind assistance.
Best regards,
[Your Name]
仲裁延迟或超长等待(>6个月时使用)
当审稿时间已经超过6个月时,您需要更深层次的询问,并暗示愿意配合。
· 主题(Subject):Second Status Inquiry - Manuscript [ID No.]
· 英文模板(English Template):
Dear [Editor's Name],
Following up on our submission on [Submission Date], I am writing regarding the ongoing review of manuscript [ID No.]. The process has now been in the 'Under Review' status for over six months.
We hypothesize that the process may be complicated, perhaps due to divergent reviewer opinions. Is there any supplementary information or data we could provide to facilitate the decision-making process or assist the third referee?
We are very eager to receive the feedback. Thank you for your continued oversight.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
情理结合版(临近毕业/结题时使用)
这个模板需要在特殊情况下使用,礼貌地将自己的毕业或基金结题等硬性时间约束告知编辑,但仍需以询问进度为主。
· 主题(Subject):Time-Sensitive Inquiry: Manuscript [ID No.] Review Status
· 英文模板(English Template):
Dear [Editor's Name],
Thank you for managing the review of our manuscript [ID No.].
We realize that reviewer time is constrained. However, since the review has exceeded the typical duration, and our lead author has a critical graduation deadline in [Month/Year], we would be immensely grateful if you could provide the latest status of the external reviews.
Your assistance in providing the latest status is highly appreciated. We stand ready to address any comments immediately.
Best regards,
[Your Name]
