✍ 1. 為何期刊審稿進度會延遲？
📌 期刊審稿流程概述 ✅ 編輯初審（Desk Rejection）：若稿件質量或研究範圍不符，編輯可直接拒絕投稿。
✅ 送審（Peer Review）：編輯確認稿件符合標準後，轉交評審人（Reviewer）進行審查。
📌 為何評審進度可能延誤？
🔹 評審人通常無償審查，且需兼顧自身研究與工作
🔹 若事務繁忙，可能導致審閱時間延長
🔹 評審人拖延審查進度，投稿者便需承受較長的等待時間
✍ 2. 何時應該提出催稿請求？
📌 催稿原則 ✅ 避免頻繁催稿，因為期刊有自己的處理流程
✅ 超過期刊允諾的處理時間，且作者有時間壓力時，可禮貌詢問進度
✅ 催稿能提醒期刊編輯你的稿件存在，促使他們向評審人查詢進度
📌 建議催稿時機
🔹 超過期刊官方 turnaround time 約 1 個月
🔹 論文審查狀態長期停滯（如“With Editor”階段逾兩個月）
⚠️催稿應慎重處理，但不用害怕嘗試！
✍ 3. 如何撰寫禮貌且有效的催稿信？
📌 催稿信撰寫要點
✅ 清楚表達問題所在（稿件處於何種審查狀態、等待時間已超出期刊預估時間）
✅ 語氣需委婉且具禮貌，避免催促過度
✅ 若期刊有線上審查系統，可附上稿件 ID 以便編輯查詢
💡 催稿信範本 1（一般情況）
Subject: Inquiry about Manuscript Status (Manuscript ID: XXXX)
Dear Editor/Professor,
Sorry for troubling you. I was wondering whether it is the appropriate time to contact you. I have submitted one article entitled「」to the journal「」over three months ago. Usually, the review time for manuscripts in your journal is less than three months. However, we have not yet received the reviewers' comments on our manuscript.
Could you kindly check the progress and current status of my manuscript, please?
Thank you very much for your kindness. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Have a nice day!

💡 催稿信範本 2（針對特定審稿狀態，例如“With Editor”停滯過久）
Subject: Follow-up on Manuscript Status (Manuscript ID: XXXX)
Dear Editor/Professor,
Sorry for disturbing you. I am writing to inquire about the status of my submitted manuscript titled "Paper Title" (ID: XXXX). The status has been “With Editor” for over two months, and I was wondering whether my manuscript has been sent to reviewers or not.
I would greatly appreciate it if you could spend some time checking the status for us. I look forward to hearing from you regarding the reviewer’s comments. Thank you very much for your consideration!
