三、论文修稿时间延长信撰写模板

信件主题：Longer revision time request

Dear XXX(如，主编姓名):
Thank you very much for giving us an opportunity to address the reviewers’ concerns about the manuscript (ID: xxxxxx) within 21 days(陈述要修改稿件的基本信息).

However, the schedule seems a little tight since one of the main co-authors is away on official business. (简要给出修稿时间延长的原因)

整理的其他理由如下：
（since there are too many comments needed to be solved.(审稿人意见太多了)
since we need to add a experiment as reviewers
suggested.（审稿人要求加实验）since one of main co-authors is ill.(其中作者生病了)
since we will have winter vacation/summer vacation soon.(我们要放假了) since
one of main co-authors is away on official business.(主要作者出差了)

May I ask for an extension of another week? (给出具体要延长的时间)

Thank you very much for your understanding in advance!

Have a nice day and look forward to your reply soon.

Sincerely,

XXX(姓名)

The first author of the manuscript

此外，也可以用第一作者的邮箱去联系期刊编辑部的工作人员，效果与使用导师邮箱是一样的。
