在投稿研究時，常常遇到很會拖的期刊，這時寫信去了解研究稿件進度至關重要。然而對於英文不是母語的人來說，寫英文信件是不容易的。本文將教您如何撰寫一封詢問研究進度的英文信件，並提供一個信件模板範例。
1. 確定收件人
首先確定信件的收件人，通常是您投稿期刊的主編或負責您稿件的編輯。確保使用他們的正式稱呼和正確的電子郵件地址。
2. 信件標題
標題應簡潔明了，通常包括“Manuscript Status Inquiry”或“Request for Update on Submission”等關鍵詞，加上稿件標題或編號，以便編輯快速識別。
3. 開場白
開場白應該禮貌且簡短，表達對收件人的尊重。例如：“I hope this message finds you well.”
4. 正文內容
- 介紹自己與稿件：清楚地介紹您的身份及您詢問的稿件標題和編號。
- 詢問進度：直接但禮貌地詢問您的稿件目前的狀態和審稿進度。指出自上次更新以來已經過去的時間。
- 表示合作意願：表達您願意提供額外資訊或做出必要修改的意願，以促進審稿過程。
5. 結束語
結束語應該保持禮貌，感謝收件人的時間和努力，並表示期待回覆。
6. 聯絡資訊
最後，不要忘記提供您的聯絡資訊，包括全名、職稱、工作單位、電話號碼及電子郵件地址。
