Production Editor在发copyright的Email里提到,由于该期刊稿件堆积,所以可能要等几个月才能收到proof。(There is currently a backlog of papers for this journal. It may be several months before you receive proofs of your article to approve.)
更杯具的是,后来在Central Article Tracking System里发现,这个所谓的several months 居然高达1年半!!!???(This article is not yet ready for Proofreading. Please check back 01 Nov 2012 )。。。。。。。
