还没送审

送审了吧，可能是假期里没人愿意审稿

还没送外审，送了以后应该变成under review

"assigning for review"? In English is not a correct expression. May be 'assigned for review"? If so, then is "under review". If it has been more than 3 months "under review" perhaps you can contact, but depends on the journal

一个月之前催过稿说在找审稿人，如果再催的话是不是不太好？

Assigning for Review翻译过来是安排找审稿人的意思，楼主的稿件还没有送审，可能与假期有关。三个月还没有找到审稿人，时间有点长了，也不能排除状态更新不及时的可能，楼主可以给编辑部写信问问情况，不会导致拒稿。

You can see in my posts in this forum that I have mentioned the difficulties of journal editors in finding reviewers. For top journals line Nature or Science that is not a problem. But for lower impact factor, it takes longer and longer. Most people do not respond. Others refuse. And other do a "quick" review. Although there are more scientists now than ever, there also more journals than ever. Around 30,000 journals, publishing about 1.5 million articles per year. In a gross estimate, because the rejection rate is quite high, that means journals may receive between 5 to 10 million papers to be published per year, and so around 10 to 30 million reviewers need to be contacted. That's a lot.

So these are just some of the reasons it takes time to publish. But it takes now less time to publish than in the past, when we had to use "snail mail"
