作者向英文期刊投稿，往往都迫切的想要收到審稿結果，有作者咨詢：投稿了英文期刊，外審1個月還沒消息，這時能催稿嗎?外審專家往往很忙，審稿時間大概是1-2個月，建議過了2個月，沒有狀態變化，著急可以催稿，1個月可以再等等。

　　外文期刊如果是sci期刊，初審和外審時間都不一樣，快的可能十幾天就有回復，慢的可能1個多月。sci外審的時間相對較長，一是外審專家是兼職，可能沒有足夠的時間，全部花在審稿上;二是外審專家論證實驗設計、內容或結論是需要足夠時間，才能得出結果的;三是至少兩位外審專家評審，需要都反饋評審意見后，才會有進一步的回復。你還可以閱讀文章：sci二審可以發催稿郵件嗎

　　還有的情況是中途換了審稿人，這時編輯會重新找審稿人，就會出現較長時間不回復或者是發表狀態不變化的情況，如果想要催稿的話，就要先寫催稿信，在這里分享了幾封催稿信的模板，作者可參考：

　　作者論文外審1個月想要催稿的話，一定要慎重，注意自己的態度，以免起到相反的作用，不要沒等多長時間就去催，這樣可能留下不好的印象，作者催稿投稿都是要慎重，還可以詢問專業人員的意見。
