5.20, submission; 6.21, major revision; 8.12, the revised manuscript was submitted; 9.9, accept after minor revision; 9.10, accepted. The editor is very professional, and the speed was very fast. There were 4 reviewers, and the comments were very professional, which improved the level of the manuscript.

The editing process is very fast, there were two reviewers, it includes new science, there are fewer submissions, but the quality of the journal is good.

Major revisions required after 2 months from submission; minor revisions required 20 days after major revisions returned; and accepted in 10 days after minor revisions. The editing processing speed is very fast. There were 2 reviewers. It’s a new journal indexed by SCI and has few submissions, but it’s of good quality.

Dear seniors, I submitted my paper in October last year and it is currently in the third review phase. It has been stuck in the "technical review" stage for two months now, and the slow processing speed of this journal is making me very anxious. 

So I would like to ask, is it possible to transfer the submission to another journal without withdrawing it?

Could I ask all the academicians, how long does it take for the manuscript to move to the UR stage after being assigned to an editor? The submission was made on the 7th, passed the technical review on the same day, and the editor was assigned, but there has been no progress until today.

Technical inspection is just waiting for the editor to handle, probably in line...

I also submitted my manuscript in October last year, and have been continuously revising the format after the second review. This has been revised twice, and each time it has been stuck in the technical review stage.

I'm really annoyed by TMD! I haven't even been hired yet and I'm already being rejected. This luck is unbelievable.

Technical checks are usually handled by the editors, so we just have to wait patiently.

Today just paid, revised according to the opinions of external audit experts, and basically edited the format requirements behind, because the journal changed its name, the format changes were relatively large, three rounds of changes were made during this period, which was quite cumbersome.

If you really have to keep holding on like this, please, please don't waste my time for too long. Give me a rejection instead!!!

How did it come to pass that the branch of the Chinese Academy of Sciences fell under the jurisdiction of the Nature journal?

The slow review process, combined with being bumped from the top, is making me consider switching to Eco Indicators now.

(0) Thank | wang

This journal has now been added to npj and become a sub-journal of Nature. There has been a major change in the peer review process, and the surge in submissions has led to a significant increase in workload.

The same, so urgent, it has been stuck for 2 months with no progress at all.

Is this journal operating so slowly now? It has been 20 days since the third technical check, and there is still no progress! Could you please advise, seniors, is this situation normal?

(0) Thank | wang

Thank you for the guidance, big brother!

(0) Thank | wang

Can I ask if the recent efficiency has slowed down? Or has it always been this slow? My article has been submitted for eight days and has not yet passed the technical review.

(0) Thank | wang

The journal has been renamed to npj Heritage Science (ISSN 3059-3220). The previous ISSN 2050-7445 can no longer be found.

May I ask if the original poster has received the proofreading notification now?

(0) Thank | alex

I haven't received the email with the final draft yet, have you received it?

Have you encountered the situation where your school's manuscript section cannot receive rework emails?

(0) Thank | alex

Have you been published now? I also received the acceptance notice over half a month ago, but haven't received the proofreading notice yet. I am anxiously waiting...

(0) Thank | alex

How long does the technical check take? It has been half a month since I submitted my article, and it is still under technical check. Is this normal?

(0) Thank | 小斌斌

Is the publication of this journal very slow now? It's been almost a month since I accepted it, and I still haven't received the proofreading and other materials. Is it because the journal has recently joined npj and is too busy, resulting in a decrease in office efficiency?
