一般期刊给出审稿意见后，都会规定修改时间。有时候给的返修时间很短，修改意见又较多，眼看快到Deadline感觉改不完，或者想安排个论文润色，这怎么办呢?

这种情况，作者可以跟期刊申请延长返修时间，有的期刊是在投稿系统中点击申请延期按钮，有的需要写邮件给编辑。系统里面点击的比较简单，下面就讲讲申请延期的邮件咋写？

1 申请延期的邮件怎么写？

申请延期的情况比较常见，作者不用太担心，只要理由充分、时长合理，编辑一般都会同意的。

1） 写申请邮件时，要说清楚下面这些关键点：

■ 对编辑和审稿人的付出表示感谢。

■ 说明自己已经在努力修改了，但是为了保证修改质量，确实需要更多时间。

■ 阐明原因：理由一定要充分，比如：需要补充新的实验数据；修改的部分较多，需要更长的时间来完善；需要安排论文润色等。千万不要说“忘记看日期”这种理由，感觉你就不重视嘛。

■ 要延期多长时间？作者可以根据实际工作量，酌情确定延期的时间，一般来说major revision的延期时间是2-3个月，太长也不合适。

建议计算好自己能修回的时间，稳妥起见，还可以多申请几天，然后一定要定好计划，尽量按时完成。如果到期还没完成，实在不行还可以再申请延期，只是耽误的都是自己的时间呀。

2 需要注意的问题

■ 不要到截止期限才申请。SCI期刊基本都是线上进行，如果申请得太晚，线上系统会来不及修改。

■ 不同期刊要求不同，有的期刊要求过了Deadline才需要给编辑发邮件修改期限，按规定完成就行。

■ 如果责编一直没有回复，要给主编或者编辑部写信，说明情况，请主编或则杂志社帮忙解决。

3 申请信模板

首先，需要在邮件开头写清楚论文题目和ID，让编辑知道这是哪篇文章的事情。

例如：This is regarding the re-submission of the manuscript entitled “xxxx(Manuscript Name)”. The manuscript ID is _______.

然后再写理由，例如以下：

理由一：需要补充实验

According to the reviewers’ suggestions and comments, more experiments should be conducted for our manuscript. We are afraid that we can not resubmit the revised paper before the deadline (within XXX days).

理由二：修改意见较多

In order to fully revise the manuscript as required by referees, we need more time to finish this revision.

理由三：修改过程比预期更复杂

The revision process has proven to be more intricate than anticipated, as I have encountered certain methodological complexities that necessitate further investigation. In order to ensure the accuracy and integrity of my findings, additional time is required to address these issues comprehensively.

理由四：论文润色需要时间

We would like to request an extension of the re-submission deadline. The revised manuscript was checked by an Editing Service Provider to address your concerns regarding the language quality of our manuscript. Now I need a few more days to receive the polished manuscript, so I request you to kindly consider the circumstances and extend the resubmission deadline to April 22nd. We assure you that the revised manuscript will be uploaded by this deadline.

再对编辑的审稿和意见表达感谢。

例如：The manuscript has been carefully rechecked and appropriate changes have been made in accordance with the reviewers’ suggestions. The responses to their comments have been completed. Finally, we would like to thank you and the reviewers for your thoughtful suggestions and insights, which have enriched the manuscript and produced a more balanced and better account of the research.

I hope that the proposed date for re-submission is acceptable to you and look forward to your reply.

最后一定记得写上落款哦~

最后，还是建议大家在收到修改意见后，尽早开始修改，合理安排时间。如果确实需要延期，也早做打算，不要有太大心理负担，只要理由合理，期刊一般都会同意的。但无论是否延期，都不要拖到最后才知道着急呀~
