我有位苦逼的碩士哥們，前段時間投中一篇3分的SCI，本來倒是一件好事，但這個雜志收費不低（約1.5萬RMB），老板不太愿意出這個錢，讓他改投一本不收錢的雜志，如果自己出這個錢，又不甘心，所以只好撤稿。
丁香園的小伙伴給他出了點主意。A：“小弟啊，我給你出版面費，你當第一，我當通訊，老板隨便你排哪個位置，如何？”B：“給俺吧，俺幫你報完版面費，還多給你飯錢?！盇：“樓下的就不要跟我搶了，行不行？！先來后到”C：“我也來參和下，我是三作哦”D：“四作報道”E：“我是不是來晚了”…….

我們言歸正傳，講講如何SCI撤稿。
撤稿的原因，無非是1、審稿太慢，急著畢業或升職稱；2、投完后發現不能拿來畢業或升職稱用；3、版面費太貴，悔了；4、目前體制問題國內有很多人會一稿多投，當文章被其中一份雜志接收后，其他雜志就得撤稿；5、論文有錯誤；6、最悲慘的莫過于文章剛被接收，該雜志就被踢出SCI。
關于撤稿，有作者擔心編輯不高興，甚至會被打入黑名單。其實這種擔心是沒有必要的。但需要說明的是，你為什么要撤稿？材料方法不可靠，結果不能重復，還是設計本身有問題？這都是撤稿的理由。
有的投稿系統會有decline revision，如果沒有，可寫信給雜志社撤稿吧，下面給幾個撤稿信模板：
1、
Dear Editor,
Thank you very much for your kind remind and helps. However, we are sorry that we have to withdraw the submission of our paper (Manuscript Number,MN:…) . The reason is that, first, if we revise the paper according to the reviewers' comments point by point, we will pay much time to make tests and then plot the data in the revised paper, second, we feel that we have not yet studied our work completely and have some difficulties to answer some questions of the reviewers' comments and add their answers or solutions in the revised paper quickly. Of course, our work in this paper is complex and difficult because it is related with the magnetism, mechanics, electrostatics, electrics and some couplings among them. I am very sorry that we had to make this decision and continue our investigation of this work further. I appreciate the reviewers very much for their careful work and helpful suggestions. Thank you again.
Kind Regards,
Your name

In the figure *,the difference between * and * has something wrong. After we find the reason, we will revise the part of section then submit it again. Thank you very much for your consideration.

Dear Editor:
Thanks for allowing us the opportunity to revise our work. However, after carefully reading the comments posed by your referees, we are sorry to say that our work has serious problems that need to be addressed before it can be resubmitted for your consideration. In addition, we found mounting up to date information is missing and many parts need to be re-written. It is therefore we decide to withdraw our manuscript from the journal because we are afraid we can not finish so many changes in a reasonable time. Thank you very much for your consideration.
Sincerely
Your name
總而言之，態度一定要端正，撤稿都是我們的研究做得不好，我們深刻反省。
最后再給兩個催稿模板：
